This ferry is the main transportation between Newfoundland and Labrador that is owned and operated by the Provincial Government of both Newfoundland and Labrador. The ferry is known as the Apollo and runs daily usually from May 1 to the middle of January depending on the Arctic ice and the temperatures around the area.
The Apollo only began operating in the year 2000 and replaced another ferry known as the Northern Princess. The Apollo is a much larger ferry that can carry more passengers and can hold more vehicles, tractor trailer trucks and RVs than the Northern Princess could.
The ferry goes between Newfoundland and Labrador at least once every day and sometimes more depending on the demand and each trip is about one and a...
... half hours. Aboard the Apollo there is a cafeteria/restaurant, elegant dining room used for special ferry crossings, a craft store and lots of window seats to provide passengers with a view. While enjoying your ferry ride, always be on the lookout for whales and different types of sea birds.
It is wise to book in advance and check the availability if you are going to use the ferry service either to Newfoundland or Labrador. Some days can be slow and the system of first come first serve basis is used. The journey aboard the Apollo is very relaxing and a great way to do a bit of sightseeing as you cross the Strait of Belle Isle.
