Its Not too Early to Plan your Ferry Trip

Ferries are an integral part of life on the BC, WA and Alaska coast.

The popularity of the Alaska Ferries on a global scale coupled with their limited sailings means reservations are absolutely required months and months in advance. 

For summer 2014 ferry reservations or planning information call 1-800-6860446 asap

Vancouver to Nanaimo ferry + Port Hardy to Prince Rupert ferry = Magic

BC Ferries provide some on the worlds most spectacular scenery as you travel thru the Inside Passage.
Ferry from Vancouver (Tsawwassen  or Horseshoe Bay terminal) to Vancouver Island at Nanaimo (either the Duke Point or Departure Bay terminal) then drive up the Island Hwy, thru famous Campbell River to Port Hardy before relaxing on the graciously appointed MV Northern Expedition as she travels to Prince Rupert.

Stay 1 Day or Stay Several Days: 

Seattle Victoria ferries enable magical one day or multi-day holidays - but plan ahead because advance reservations are required to avoid disappointment

Fabulous "will not be undersold" package policy makes combining a Victoria hotel stay with a Ferry from Seattle the best price available.
