Historic Tall Ship Silva - Offered in conjunction with the 2025 CAO Congress

Your visit to Halifax will simply not be complete without experiencing a scenic sailing cruise on the world’s second-largest natural harbour – The Halifax Harbour. Join us abord the Halifax’s signature ship, the Tall Ship Silva, for local, live music and to see the sights, city, and coastline, from a unique perspective. While on board our historic, three-masted schooner, you’ll see some of Halifax’s most well-known landmarks including Georges Island National Historic Site, the Historic Properties, the vibrant waterfront, and the scenic Northwest Arm. If conditions are favourable, you’ll be invited to join the crew in raising the sails. So come, relax, refresh with a beverage or two from the onboard bar, and enjoy your leisurely sailing cruise on the water.
