Sailing Into Charlottetown, PEI Canada
There’s something special about arriving in Charlottetown, the charming capital of Prince Edward Island, by sea.
From the deck of MS Volendam, the colourful waterfront, historic harbour, and relaxed island vibe slowly come into view.
Charlottetown is known as the “Birthplace of Confederation". Today, it welcomes cruise visitors with coastal beauty, small-town charm, and a warm East Coast spirit.
Sailing into port here is one of those cruise moments that reminds you why exploring Canada by sea is so unforgettable. Join me as we glide into one of Atlantic Canada’s most welcoming ports.
Be sure to check out my video where we explore the sights and charms of Charlottetown.
