Maine and Atlantic Canada offer some wonderful activities for church and school groups.

Both areas are steeped in history that ripples throughout North America. Your group can see first-hand key locations involved in the founding of two of the most dynamic, most progressive and freest nations in the world — the United States and Canada. Your group can learn all about the Acadian expulsion memorialized in Wadsworth's epic poem Evangeline, and learn how that tragic event resulted in the mix of French-speaking and English-speaking areas of Canada

— and even resulted in the Cajun culture in Louisiana.

Your group can visit Fort St. Louisburg on Cape Breton Island — one of the most historic ports of the 17th century, and a high-water mark for French domination of northeastern North America. The fort has been brilliantly restored and is well worth a visit.

Faith historically played a big part in Maritime life, and travelers can visit dozens of historic, beautiful churches.

We offer special rates for groups of 25 or more travelers. We'll help you with all the details — itinerary ideas, lodging… we can even help you arrange motor coaches and guides, or facilitate travel in private automobiles!

Bay Ferries and its sister company, Northumberland Ferries, make travel between Maine to the Maritime provinces easy and convenient. The CAT, of course, which travels between Maine and Nova Scotia at speeds approaching 50 miles per hour, is a thrilling ride for your group and cuts hours on the road in half — or better. Our other ships can transport you between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, or between Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. All ships can comfortably accommodate motor coaches.
