Sea links crossing Îles de la Madeleine and Prince Edouard Island ferry, cruise on St-Lawrence
Description
CTMA Group was founded in the forties from the need of the community of Les Îles de la Madeleine to provide itself a dedicated and reliable means of transportation that would play an active role in the economic development of the Region.
For many years, the Group's ships traveled between the Atlantic Provinces, Quebec and Les Îles de la Madeleine, carrying goods and passengers to and from the archipelago. In the seventies, the Group introduced a regular Ferry Service between Prince Edward Island and Les Îles de la Madeleine. That Ferry Service has since become, the main access to the Islands. More recently, the company introduced a regular weekly cruise between Montreal, the Gaspésie Region and Les Îles de la Madeleine, with a stopover in Quebec City on the way back.
During the Winter of 2004, CTMA introduced a Cold Water Cruise in the Gulf of St-Lawrence including a thematic sojourn on Les Îles de la Madeleine. Seal Observation on the ice floes, as well as outdoor and cultural activities are central to the themes.
