Experience Victoria, British Columbia
Your exhilarating Victoria experience begins when you board a Victoria Clipper high-speed catamaran at Pier 69 in downtown Seattle. As you travel through Puget Sound and into the Strait of Juan de Fuca, your sights will be filled with the glorious Olympic Mountains, quaint island villages, and blue skies! From Seattle via the Victoria Clipper, this wonderful city is as little as two hours away, though its ivy-covered Parliament and Legislative buildings make it seem as if you're traveling back in time. Whether you're enjoying traditional high tea at the exquisite Fairmont Empress Hotel or meandering through the 50-acre floral extravaganza of Butchart Gardens, Victoria, BC offers the best in Old World charm. Unlike anywhere else in Canada, this magnificent city preserves the spirit of Great Britain-with double-decker bus tours, elegant Victorian houses, shops full of woolens, tartan plaids, and toffees, as well as plenty of other delights steeped in British tradition.
