Halifax videos - Peggy's Cove, Swissair 111 Memorial and 'Titanic Cemetery'

There are plenty of shops at the cruise terminal and decent public wi-fi. For our Halifax day we wanted to see Peggy’s Cove (of course) and the ‘Titanic Cemetery’.

As you exit the cruise terminal there are taxis waiting, along with a board saying that the cost to Peggy’s Cove (return) is $170. In fact the taxis here, Sydney and PEI charge $60 per hour. So we just chose the first cab off the rank and said we also wanted to see the cemetery, which made it $180. For 6 of us that was fine and we gave $200 at the end. Our port hours were 0900-1800 so all-aboard at 5.30 pm.

Before leaving the city we were driven up to and around the citadel and had a look at the lovely public gardens. We spent 45 minutes at Peggy’s Cove, another 10 or so at the Swissair Memorial and half an hour at the cemetery, returning to the ship around 2 pm, about 3.5 hours after we set out. There would have been plenty of time for a walk back up to the citadel for a real look at it, or to go to the gardens had we so wished.

Thanks all. The New England/Atlantic Canada ports between Boston and Quebec are relatively low-key - a bit short on spectacular scenery and 'must-sees,' but given good weather, which we certainly had, each has more than enough for a very pleasant day out, if not a great deal that will live long in the memory.
