## Getting ashore

Ships berth at the Charlottetown cruise terminal, close to the waterfront and downtown. Check your ship's notice for the berth and any shuttle.

## Watch-outs

Prince Edward Island is a small province with long drives between sights. Summer is busy, so book tours in advance. Weather is changeable, and the sea breeze can be cool.

## Charlottetown

The capital has the Confederation Centre of the Arts, the Province House where Canada's confederation was agreed in 1864, and the waterfront boardwalk. The Victoria Row shopping street is a short walk from the terminal.

## Green Gables and Cavendish

[Green Gables](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Green+Gables+Heritage+Place+Cavendish) is the house that inspired Anne of Green Gables. The Cavendish coast has long beaches and a national park. Allow a half day for the drive and the house.

## Confederation Bridge and the north shore

The Confederation Bridge links the island to New Brunswick. The north shore has red sand beaches and lighthouses, and it is a scenic drive from the city.

## Food & shopping

Island seafood is the speciality, including lobster, mussels and oysters. Cafés and restaurants in Charlottetown are the easiest choice. Shops close early on Sundays.

## Money & connectivity

The currency is the Canadian dollar. Cards are accepted almost everywhere. Mobile signal is good in town.

## Accessibility & mobility

The terminal and downtown are flat and step-free. Cavendish and the national park have boardwalks and paths, but some are uneven. Ask your operator for accessible vehicles.
