There was until late 2009 when the Government of Nova Scotia declared that they wouldn't subsidize the ferry, which ultimately costing the Town of Yarmouth 100s of jobs. The entire Southern quarter of Nova Scotia is devastated. However, a new cruise ferry service, Nova Star Cruises, began operating in May, 2014. For more information see novastarcruises.com.
Yes. Nova Star Cruises began operating in 2014. See novastarcruises.com
No. There was the "Cat" from Maine to Yarmouth, NS, but they closed it down over a year ago.

The distance between the above places is approximately equal to 117 nautical miles. To convert miles to nautical miles, multiply the miles by 0.86. This is point to point straight distance. The actual distance will change according to the route.
Most would probably drive, using interstate 95 to the Canadian border at Woodstock, New Brunswick, then NB highway 2 to the Nova Scotia border. Alternatively, you can take Maine highway 9 from Bangor, or coastal highway 1, to the Canadian border at St. Stephen NB, then NB highway 1 via Saint John toward NS. The I95 route is longer by distance but a bit shorter time-wise. There's also a ferry from Saint John to Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley. (There were ferries that travelled from Portland and Bar Harbor ME to Yarmouth NS but these are not currently operating. There's still hope a ME-NS ferry service will be reinstated.) There are not currently any direct flights from Maine to NS. The nearest US airport with direct flights to Halifax is Boston.

About 7 hours and 11 minutes[1] There is also a ferry from Bar Harbor to Yarmouth, NS, but this will probably take longer.
the mason jar in oxford Visit Portland, Maine. We went last year and had the best time (and lobster) in this city! Take the ferry for the lighthouse tour. If you have time take the ferry to one of the islands too! Take a jacket for the ferry!
The most quick way, which avoids a lot of New Brunswick is going down the Annapolis Valley way (about 233 kms, 145 miles), then getting on the Saint John Ferry. Going from Saint John to the border (Calais, Maine) about 114 kms (71 miles). Then Calais, Maine to Bangor, Maine is another 157 kms (98 miles). Then from Bangor, Maine to Portland, Maine it's another 207 kms (129 miles). Halifax, Nova Scotia -> Ferry (233 kms) (145 miles) Saint John, New Brunswick -> Calais, Maine (114 kms) (71 miles) Calais, Maine -> Bangor, Maine (157 kms) (98 miles) Bangor, Maine -> Portland, Maine (207 kms) (129 miles) All in all, you'll probably be driving for a good 11 hours. You'll probably rack up a good 800 kms (497 miles).
We only have 1 city, well one recognized city. Halifax. However the town of Digby is actually the closest to Maine in travel time. From Digby Nova Scotia you can take the ferry (boat) to St. John New Brunswick and then drive to the US border and into Maine.
Marine Atlantic runs ferries between Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. The ferry leaves from North Sydney on the eastern coast of Nova Scotia.
Drive South on the 101 from Halifax to Digby. Get on the Ferry to New Brunswick (check out the princess of Acadia website for schedule) and drive south to the main border.
Yes you can but you have to take a plane from sydney Australia to nova scotia then take the ferry.
