7 Hrs on Newfoundland's Ferry from Nova Scotia (MARINE ATLANTIC FERRY)

[@OkieJammer2736]

SOLO 70 year old travel gal took the 7 hr. ferry trip to The Rock with a rental car, then drove the entire East side to L'ANSE AUX MEADOWS, the 1,000 year old Norse settlement at the Northern fingertip of Newfoundland. Driving onto the ferry was a breeze, found a cushy recliner (no reservations at the time) and tried to catch a few winks. Later caught another ferry to Labrador and was so fascinated by the very different terrain and geology. Lovely people everywhere. Was in all Canadian Maritime Provinces in one trip. Highly recommended!

[@todayissomeday]

This is fantastic!

Everytime I cross over on the ferry into Newfoundland I get this happy feeling as if I am home.

[@chrisxxx8685]

Just a note for Canadian veterans, with proof (CF1 card) you will save the passenger fee of $38 for yourself and up to three others each way. We were just in Newfoundland for three weeks early July, but not our first time. We have lived there and the grandkids are there as well.

[@dorisbetts3012]

Thanks. My husband has just received this card. I have Newfoundland on my bucket list.

[@misslollaleelou]

Thank you for your service! ✌🏻❤️🇨🇦

[@Cdnvw]

Thats stupid. Anyone can get a CF1 card. You don't need to be a vet. They should only accept the NDI20 or retired I'd card. From a crusty army WO!

[@chrisxxx8685]

The CF1 card has to have the "v" for veteran. Yes many working for DND agencies (as civilians) can get the CF1 card but it should not have the "V" in the lower right corner. For the ferry they check, and a few years ago I also had to provide my retired ID card. The airlines (at least in Ottawa) also caught on that CF1 did not automatically mean veteran and stopped the free bag if it did not have the "V". BTW my retired ID card really doesn't look like me anymore😁. From another crusty army WO!

[@Cdnvw]

@chrisxxx8685 haha thanks brother. Ya I didn't know they fixed that issue. In pet we had dependas running around getting discounts everywhere because of it 😆

Love the info , enthusiasm and charities of your channel. I am Canadian and in 2022 I, my wife and little Gidget (morkie) 2 yr old puppy did a cross Canada RV trip to Newfoundland and return from British Columbia in a Winnebago 29" Class C with a 4 down manual 2013 toyota matrix toad. Native of Nova Scotia, the only province or territory of Canada never visited was Newfoundland & Labrador. We chose to sail from North Sydney to Argentia with a cabin booked. The return passage was booked from Port aux Basque to North Sydney without a cabin. Met so many people that just wanted to sit and talk that day passages are a quick passage of time. This plan was to only have to drive the 1100 km Trans Canada hwy once across the province. We did not need/book a cabin on the return passage of 7 hours. We did book kennel for Gidget for the overnight passage to Argentia but at the last minute reading the fine print of the kennel arrangement we cancelled that booking. Gidget is very familiar with the RV and is also pad trained. Her pad is placed in the shower floor and she knows to do her business there. Unfortunately the passage extended to 22 hours due to a major gale preventing the docking at Argentia. My distraught wife concerned about Gidget convinced the Purser and Captain to allow her accompanied a visit to the lower deck to check on her dog. Gidget greeted the crew member at the driver side front window with such barking and aggression that all concluded that she was in great shape. The point of the feedback was that the $1,100 fare from North Sydney to Argentia is offset by the wear & tear, fuel, nightly accommodation cost and vacation time of having to do the Hwy 1 both ways. We did not find Hwy 1 an enjoyable ride for the most part because of the rough road conditions...at least for our rig.

Hey, we live in PEI. Welcome to Atlantic Canada. Hope you had good weather and a great time.

[@dfberry]

I've not taken the ferry -- but I have visited NewfoundLAND (as it's pronounced according to my wife's cousin's -- on her Dad's side). My experience was GREAT. Of course, we were with family -- but, I feel like all visitors will feel the same. NewfoundLANDERS are just good people! And the scenery is spectacular! Our visit included a trip to St. Anthony -- waaaay up the western peninsula -- where our brother-in-law (married to my wife's sister) said (and he's quite poetic!) -- "I don't think this is the end of the world, but I believe I can see it from here." He's from Minnesota -- masters in the understatement -- so that speaks VOLUMES to usI I hope you guys got to see the Viking Settlement (it probably has a name -- but I sure don't remember it!) up near St. Anthony -- but whatever you DID see, I'm sure it was spectacular! My wife has cousins in St. Johns and Northern Arm (near Gander, where many planes were grounded during 9/11 and the passengers were housed by locals in the Gander area (that's just who NewfoundLANDers are!). Newfoundland is just one of those "special places" -- made special by the people!

[@lucforand8527]

I've done both ferries. Our first trip to Newfoundland we only did the west coast over two weeks; arriving and departing from Port Aux Basques. Our departure was in late evening with arrival early the next morning. No rented cabin; we just did like the Newfies and grabbed a spot to take a nap wherever! On our second trip we went to Argentia to visit the east coast of Newfoundland and central Newfoundland before leaving from Port Aux Basques. Again we had no cabin. If you're lucky and its daytime you might get to see the islands of St-Pierre and Miquelon. The daytime is also great for looking for porpoises as they like to play in the ferries bow wave.

Yes, I was on that ferry in the middle of winter. Got a stateroom below up forward. Was pleased because it was a 4 man stateroom but I had it all to myself. Quick shower and jumped into bed was asleep in seconds. Very comfortable. Then we left harbor and almost immediately started breaking ice. Holy shit the noise was deafening ! Yes, I learned the hard way...

[@rdththth]

I used to work in driveaway, and some of my best Canadian trips were to Newfoundland. That was back when the Caribou and Smallwood ferries were in service. I always took the overnight ferry and rented a cabin to sleep. There was an exception to the driver logbook rules that allowed the off-duty rest period to legally be shortened to the length of this ferry ride. Trips were always drive up and fly back. Once I was snowbound in North Sydney, NS for nearly four days while blizzard winds exceeded Marine Atlantic's limits for sailing, but the hotel staff was great up on the hill overlooking the harbor. Add "fold mirrors after parking" to your ferry checklist if you drive a wide vehicle. I always did that on Marine Atlantic and BC Ferries.

Aw, love that you guys know that Canadians call Newfoundland ‘The Rock’. It’s on my bucket list! The only place we haven’t visited in the Maritimes. It’s interesting that you guys think of Newfoundland as a huge province- great to actually know how long you were there and will help to plan our trip. Newfoundland is quite a bit smaller than most of the provinces in Canada, but what you’ve said makes sense re touring, not every province is as picturesque, and so wouldn’t require as much time -although quite a few are blessed with incredible natural beauty.

We have reserved a place on a 59 day Adventure Caravans tour of Gaspe and the Atlantic Provinces next summer. We’re taking the overnight ferry to Argentia going, and the shorter ferry to North Sydney returning. Adventure Caravans is reserving us a cabin that allows pets on the overnight crossing, so we’ll have our seven year old, 80 lbs. rescue dog, Ollie, with us. We’re really looking forward to this trip, especially because this summer we’re stuck in Florida because I had spine surgery in May.

I’ve worked as a crew member on older ro-ro ferries between North Sydney and Newfoundland. A few time they hit the half hour before we even finished docking.

Just a heads up for any folks thinking about this this year, they just got a brand new boat. They're still shaking it down atm, but it should be ready in July. It's for the Argentia run and is the 16 hour trip. The boats roughly the same size as the other boats, but they have more rooms and a lot more pet-friendly rooms now.

There is a third option for a ferry that is from Labrador to the Northern Peninsula and only takes about two hours, we have been on all three on our motorcycle over the years. I find for day time crossing the reserved seating gives us enough of a home base to leave our belongings without the cabin option.

Afraid the last time I took a ferry was from Bandirma to Tekirdag Turkey by bus then on to the international airport in Istanbul on my way back to the states. I was stationed at a remote site in Turkey while in the USAF. The bus ride from the town outside the site to Bandirma was 8hrs, then another 3-4 on the ferry, then another couple of hours to the airport. In all it took 24 hrs to reach my destination (Orlando FL). Did this 4 times round trip. Have to say I had many adventures while serving in the USAF and would do it again in a minute!

When a friend of mine was on one of the ferry they used a laser to measure them. You are right they take the propane issue very seriously. They can check because there is no lock on the compartment the propane is in. Before you head south you should check out Roosevelt Campobello International Park. You can stay at Seaview Campground & Cottages. The most down East campground in the US.

That's a lot more than I expected of a ferry. Also didn't realize the distance involved. Much nicer, safer & more comfortable that the only ferry I've ever been on. It crossed the Mississippi River somewhere north of Quincy, IL. It was a temporary thing because of a bridge repair. My 70' semi had to be loaded front left (bow port) corner to right rear (stern starboard) corner to fit. And it sat low in the water with my 77,000 lb rig on it! No racks, seating or restrooms.

I might have mentioned this in one of your other videos but check your insurance to make sure you are covered in Canada and certainly going on a ferry. Few decades ago a bunch of us towed our family cruisers (25/26 foot boats) from MN to Florida for two weeks. I happened to mention this trip to my insurance agent a few months after we got back. He freaked. He said none of us had any insurance once we got a couple states away. Back then they only had a Great Lakes policy which covered eight states. I assumed it was like car insurance and was covered in the USA. I asked him why he never told me that? He replied who in the heck would tow their boats our size all the way to the Keys. I said us. He then said okay name one other person that we have heard of that does that? He had me there.
