The ferry named the Petite Princess has made a great deal of difference to the people in this area of Nova Scotia, Canada since its first scheduled sailing date.

The Petite Princess is the newest vessel to the ferry system of Nova Scotia and was officially put into service in March, 2004. As it motors across Petite Passage, the quaint town of Tiverton that is situated on Long Island, Nova Scotia adorns the background.

The Petite Princess makes daily trips across Petite Passage between the towns of Digby Neck and Long Island, Nova Scotia. Improved tourism has been on the increase around Digby Neck and Long Island since the Petite Princess was launched and will continue to grow as more tourists visit this beautiful part of Nova Scotia.
