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.

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.
