Travel Tips: Getting to Nova Scotia
Your Arrival:
You should plan on meeting us at the WANDERBIRD between 6 and 9 PM on the evening before your cruise departure date. You may stay aboard the WANDERBIRD, as our guest the night before your cruise departs, but plan on finding dinner in town. The first meal we serve aboard will be breakfast on the morning of departure. We will serve cold drinks, tea & coffee that evening and you may want to explore the city, and pick up any last minute items.
You are welcome to bring along beer, wine, soda, bottled water or other items that are not available for purchase while on board.
