Reviews & Ratings for the Alasuinu

On the evening of September 15, 2025, the ferry 'Ala'suinu' experienced mechanical difficulties that threatened its timely departure from Argentia to North Sydney. Passengers and crew braced for potential delays, but the vessel ultimately set sail just before 10 p.m. UTC, ensuring the journey commenced later than originally planned.

On October 7, 2024, the ferry 'Ala'suinu' encountered mechanical issues that resulted in a significant delay for its scheduled departure. Originally slated to depart from Port aux Basques at 11:45 a.m., the sailing was rescheduled to 4 p.m. This was not the first hiccup for the vessel; a prior sailing on October 5 at 11:15 p.m. was postponed to the following day at 8:00 a.m. because of issues with the ramp failing to close properly. As a gesture of goodwill, all passengers were treated to complimentary dinners and desserts while waiting. To minimize the impact of the delay, the crew made considerable efforts during the crossing, reducing travel time from the usual seven hours to just five.
