Newfoundland - Labrador

  Newfoundland

Alternate No. One to Argentia, NFLD
    Ferry to Argentia

        Approximately 14 Hours 

        June 17 thru August 31 -  Mon 0600;  Wed  0700;  Friday 15:30

        Rates:  Motorhome     - 432.75Cn       

                    Truck             - 157.00Cn

                    Passenger(2)  -  151.00Cn
 

Note:  Consider going to NFLD by way of Port Aux Basques rather than Argentia, a saving of 8 hours and over $400.  This will require additional driving time in NFLD and some 'back-tracking', but might be more cost effective.  Would probably require 300 to 350 miles of 'back-tracking' .  Maybe 50 gallons of fuel at $2.50/gallon - $125.
