Two distinctly different cities, in two unique countries, 81 miles and less than 3 hours apart via a Victoria Clipper cruise through the Salish Sea. Visitors will enjoy the Old World charm of Victoria with its ivy covered buildings, traditional high tea and the famous Butchart Gardens, as well as the outdoor adventures of golf, kayaking, zip-lining, whale watching and strolling around this walkable city. Vibrant downtown Seattle offers the best in dining, entertainment, sports and shopping. Both cities are family friendly and perfect stopovers in conjunction with an Alaska cruise or for those living in the region, they are quick and easy getaway destinations.
