First container ship cruise to leave Halifax on Sunday

Starting this Sunday travellers can take a unique cruise from Halifax. Instead of water slides and shuffleboard on deck, this cruise ship is loaded with cargo containers. For the first time, container ships leaving Halifax will take on passengers as they travel to Vancouver through the Suez Canal, the Mediterranean Sea and Asia. Cruise People Limited is a London-based company that arranges container ship cruises and other sailing adventures. Owner Kevin Griffin said container ship cruises have been a popular way to travel in other parts of the world. Vancouver has been a port of call for years. And don't be in a hurry to get to your destination. The Halifax to Vancouver cruise takes 71 days. The longest stretch is 37 days between ports. The ships offering the passenger service are six French-owned vessels. This Sunday, passengers can board the CMA CGM Cendrillon.​
