One Trip at a Time

Halifax, Nova Scotia is quite a busy port when it comes to cruise ships! The port offers a full-service cruise terminal and is able to accommodate the world’s largest cruise ships.

For the 2024 cruise season, there are 200+ cruise ships scheduled to visit Halifax (up from about 180 in 2023) which is great news for the city.

The first ships arrive in April and continue visiting through November. September and October are projected to be the busiest months as many ships call Halifax to offer passengers the opportunity to see the beautiful autumn colours of Canada’s Maritime provinces.

If your ship is visiting Halifax, there is a good chance you’ll dock at one of the main cruise ship berths, either Pier 22 or Pier 20. These two piers combined will welcome about 70% of the ships docking in Halifax for the 2024 cruise season.

These piers are linked to the port’s dedicated cruise terminals (Pavilion 22 and Pavilion 20), giving passengers direct ship-to-shore access. When multiple ships are in port, other berths may be used, such as Pier 24 and Pier 27 which are both very nearby.

Below you will find the complete Halifax cruise ship schedule for 2024 that displays the name of the ship, the cruise operator, the date, arrival/departure times, and the number of passengers for the ships that are scheduled to be in port this cruise season.

  • Things To Do

Your first look at Halifax, Nova Scotia is from across the enormous natural harbor that also hosts the verdant George’s Island. Ships have arrived at this key Atlantic seaport just like this for centuries, including both the million immigrants who passed through in the 1900s, as well as the Halifax salvage boats recovering wreckage from the Titanic. Besides a modern city abuzz with museums and shops, you’ll find a massive fort overlooking the waterfront and idyllic villages for postcard-perfect nature walks on your Halifax cruise.

  • Laze under the gazebo at the Public Gardens on Halifax cruises.

A picture of the Metro Transit ferryboat in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada while on a Canada cruise

Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

Located on a rocky inlet on the Atlantic Ocean, Halifax—Nova Scotia’s provincial capital—is defined by its maritime geography. It's a spirited mix of world-class history and nautical-themed museums alongside bunkers and fortresses that guarded the harbor, plus striking public art and sights, funky shops and excellent pubs serving up folk music (and good pints).

Explore the Halifax waterfront where steamships once anchored to drop off arriving immigrants at Pier 21. Savor the low-key but classy culinary scene for fresh seafood and Nova Scotia specialties—the city has both street vendors and casual joints catering to university students and upscale eateries with elegant settings. Along Nova Scotia's southern shores, the city is surrounded by lush greenery and charming villages that are worth the trip from downtown proper. Snap photos of attractions in the charming fishing village, Peggy's Cove, with its picturesque lighthouse on a rocky outcropping. Or wander the streets of Lunenburg, whose colorful Old Town is designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You can also soak in the charms and sights of Mahone Bay, home to artists' studios and a trio of steepled churches.

Halifax kickstarts major plan to improve the Dartmouth waterfront

Cruise ships, new railway crossings, emergency route under consideration.

Dartmouth Waterfront could be getting a makeover

Social sharing.

The Halifax Regional Municipality is planning major improvements to the Dartmouth waterfront that could lead to new development, public spaces and cruise ships.

Council recently greenlighted work to create a plan for the area  to include pedestrian access and new connections across the CN Rail line, which has cut people off from most of the waterfront for decades.

"This is city building, is what we're talking about," area Coun. Sam Austin said during last Tuesday's council meeting.

The plan will consider a new multi-use emergency access route from the bottom of Ochterloney Street to Atlantic Street near the Woodside Ferry Terminal that could handle vehicles and would be the foundation of a better-connected waterfront. It would closely follow the existing Trans-Canada Trail that is now broken up by dead ends and buildings.

"I think it's tremendous and long overdue," said Bea MacGregor, CEO for Alderney Landing.

Alderney Landing's board was among the parties that requested the plan last year, alongside the Halifax Port Authority and Downtown Dartmouth Business Commission.

MacGregor said this plan will help Alderney Landing figure out how, and where, it could expand. She said the building's theatre, gallery, and events are usually full and they want to offer more.

Having a new emergency route open up the waterfront for housing development is key, MacGregor said. 

"The influx of residents have been a cornerstone in rejuvenating downtown Dartmouth. So more of that is actually quite critical," MacGregor said.

A staff report said Halifax Fire would prefer overpasses or other options across the CN rail rather than more ground-level crossings, given that trains often block the current one at Alderney Landing.

The port is also looking to expand its cruise traffic. They will create a new tendering location off George's Island this summer, where ships will anchor and then bring passengers to the dock via smaller boats.

Paul MacIsaac, senior vice-president for the Halifax Port Authority, said they hope to put removable, floating docks on the Dartmouth side of the harbour. Passengers would then walk through an extendable gangway, similar to ones used in airports, to get to shore.

MacIsaac said they haven't yet decided on an ideal location.

"It really depends on the infrastructure that's over there, and the acceptance by the community. We certainly wouldn't want to put in any more than are wanted," MacIsaac said.

MacIsaac said the Port could likely start with 25 ships a season in Dartmouth and grow from there.

Christine Bower, co-owner of the Wooden Monkey restaurant in Alderney Landing, said she'd love to see cruise ships bring more tourists to Dartmouth.

"You can't state enough how great it would be, because really it's kind of slow at different times of the year down here," Bower said.

After dealing with lengthy wharf repairs in Dartmouth — and years of construction for Nova Centre and Argyle Street upgrades around their downtown Halifax location — Bower said she knows these changes can be painful for businesses.

But she said getting through to the other side is worth it.

"I think this is such a beautiful place. We've sunset views like you can't even believe and you really need to show it off," Bower said.

"There's a lot that can happen down here and I think it would be fantastic when it's done."

Provincially-owned Dartmouth Cove lands will also be considered in the plan, which is a future growth area where the city would eventually like to build a new neighbourhood.

Two photos show paved paths along waterfronts: Frankfurt on the left shows wooden benches and a bridge. West Vancouver on the right is taken from a high angle showing the skyline

It's also the site of a separate infill proposal currently in front of Transport Canada, which has been opposed by nearby residents like David Jones.

"I think there are a lot of people that really care about this place and care about how we look to the future, especially with sea level rise and climate change," Jones said.

"I think our waterfront is a great asset. I hope it's treated with respect."

The COVE marine tech hub and King's Wharf housing development are also partners in the plan. The report said although municipal staff explored whether the new emergency route could serve as access for King's Wharf, the risk was "too great" and developer Francis Fares will have to build a new overpass across the rail line.

The city will soon hire a consultant to create the waterfront plan, which will include public consultation.

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

cruise schedule halifax

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

cruise schedule halifax

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.
