Sea Two Cities
2 Night Vancouver Package with a Day Tour of Victoria

Our most popular pre / post Alaska Cruise package.
This package expands on "Discover Vancouver" by offering a full day Victoria Excursion Tour with plenty of time to explore these two great cities.

Day 1 - Arrive in Vancouver and sit back and relax on your choice of either a morning or afternoon Deluxe Grand City Tour of Vancouver. You will be picked up from your hotel and taken on a tour through Chinatown, the second largest in North America, and historic Gastown with its cobblestone roads and unique steam clock. See the hustle and bustle of the downtown core driving through the city centre, financial district and harbour area on the way to beautiful Stanley Park. At 1,000 acres, it is the largest urban park in Canada and features native Indian totem poles and lush forests surrounded by some of Vancouver's favourite beaches. Enjoy two stops in this magnificent park: a photo stop at the totem poles followed by a chance to see the panoramic ocean views from Prospect Point. Drive through the English Bay beach area on the way to Queen Elizabeth Park at the top of the city to enjoy a photo stop at the Sunken Gardens, a former rock quarry now covered in floral beauty. Ask about arrangements for theatre tickets and the Sunset Dinner Tour around Vancouver Harbour!
