Coastal Escape to Victoria
An incredible way to experience British Columbia’s capital and surrounds, this trip connects cosmopolitan Vancouver with historic and hip Victoria by both air and sea. Conveniently departing from downtown Vancouver aboard a sleek, modern catamaran, enjoy a scenic crossing with local cuisine and wine, free Wi-Fi and your own comfortable leather seat.
Watch for whales, eagles and seals as you journey through the pristine Southern Gulf Islands, then arrive to Victoria’s inner harbor and your accommodation: the Fairmont Empress. This landmark building commands a regal presence in the city and overlooks the cobblestone streets where your food tour takes place.
Indulge in delicious Canadian treats, explore the world-famous Butchart Gardens and return to Vancouver by seaplane for an entirely new perspective.
