how many hours by sea??to canada

[scrappylane]

hi,can any 1 tell me how many hours it will take from england to canada by ferry,i live at the north east coast of england,thanks

I believe a ship takes 4 to 5 days to reach Canada from the UK. Flying takes about 5 to 9 hours depending on what part of Canada you are going to. It is also a lot cheeper to fly then to take a ship.

no ferrys operating??come on my friend,the whole world is covered in water,iv been looking at ferry holiday pagages for weeks,lol

[Mr Veritas]

Sorry but you are not using the correct definition(from the OED) of the word "ferry":~

"a commercial service with terminals and boats for transporting persons, automobiles, etc., across a river or other comparatively small body of water"

so Zac is quite right,there is NO such thing as a "ferry" from North East of England to Canada.The best you could hope for is a cruise ship,OR a cargo boat,maybe going from Harwich?
You also seem to have a VERY hazy idea of just how far away Canada is from the UK..
London to Toronto is 3,548.48 miles.

Just to support others (including, in particular, Eddie51):

The definition of a 'ferry' usually refers to a service where passengers can easily book either single or return fares. As others have indicated, there are no such trans-Atlantic services. The QE2 was the last Atlantic 'liner' offering a comparable service.

Unless you can find a cruise company which allows you to book just part of a cruise twice (once for your outbound journey and once for the return), your only option would be to seek passage on a freighter. Only a small number of cargo ships accept passengers, with fares typically around �200 per day. Container ships typically cover about 600 nautical miles in a day so, even if you could find a ship going directly from the UK to Canada, you're probably looking at around �2500 for the round trip. However a container ship from the UK might well go via Rotterdam (or even via the Mediterranean) en route to Canada, so you might have to travel for (and pay for) 10 or 20 days in each direction.

This company might be able to provide some suggestions but, unless you're super-rich, I fear that what you propose is simply impossible:

you could take the QM2 from Southampton to New York, if your trip co-incides with Cunard's schedule - http://www.cunard.co.uk/
QM2 usually arrives in New York at breakfast time. from New York trains leave for Toronto at 07h15, and Montreal at 08h20, http://www.amtrak.com/servlet/ContentServer?pa gename=Amtrak/Page/Schedules_Index_Page&c=Page &cid=1080072922206&ssid=3
so it's likely you'll need to stay over 1 night in NY.
net journey time UK to Canada by this route 7 nights.
