Ferry Journey from Seattle to Victoria

Arrive at Pier 69 in Seattle at the designated time, where you will board the ferry destined for Victoria, BC, embarking on an enriching day trip to one of the most pedestrian-friendly cities in North America!

As you glide across the Salish Sea, experience a captivating 2-hour and 45-minute cruise aboard a high-speed ferry. Marvel at the striking coastal scenery as you depart from downtown Seattle, and soon enough, you'll be arriving at your destination.

Upon docking in downtown Victoria, you will have approximately 6 hours to discover the city at your leisure. Begin by wandering through the enchanting streets adorned with Victorian-style buildings, or indulge in a delightful afternoon tea at the iconic Fairmont Empress.

We also suggest exploring the Butchart Gardens, a stunning 55-acre sanctuary filled with vibrant blooms, meandering paths, and picturesque vistas. You'll be captivated by the ever-changing seasonal hues and serene atmosphere. Alternatively, visit Victoria’s Inner Harbor, a perfect location for watching the sunset and enjoying a meal at the nearby waterfront eateries.

At the appointed time, return to Victoria Terminal for your trip back to Seattle, completing your adventure approximately 12 hours later. Should you wish, there is also the option to reserve a one-way trip.
