Bluenose II Ship — Attraction in Lunenburg

We booked our sail approximately 2 months in advance. It was our exact 10 year wedding anniversary date, we flew out, rented an AirBnB, and the night before the sail received a text that they were issuing an immediate refund due to personal circumstances.

I understand there are bigger problems in life. I would have appreciated a modicum of understanding for us though - maybe an attempt to rebook or facilitate another sail, since every other day was able to still sail and keep their bookings.

We sent a message asking about anything that could be done - zero response.

Very disappointed but something to keep in mind that they can (and will) cancel hours before the sail and will not communicate or accommodate. If we were to have cancelled with the same timeframe and same circumstances, they would have...

So it’s important to check and get...

This was a definite highlight of our east coast vacation. I can’t say enough good things about our 2 hour sail on this iconic ship. The staff came around and answered any questions we had about the ship and they were very well informed and seemed to be so happy to be able to have the opportunity to work aboard this ship. Definitely purchase tickets ahead of time to avoid disappointment. I’m from Ontario and I wish I was closer so I could go on this tour more often. The Bluenose is such a great ambassador for Nova Scotia and the east coast in general. For added information on the Bluenose it is well worth it to...
