Sail from Seattle to Victoria, BC, for a day of exploring charming streets, the Fairmont Empress, and Butchart Gardens on this exciting day trip!
Ferry From Seattle to Victoria
At the indicated time, head to Pier 69 in Seattle, from where you'll set sail towards Victoria BC, for an exciting day trip to one of North America's most walkable cities!
Navigating the Salish Sea, you'll enjoy a scenic 2-hour and 45-minute cruise on a high-speed ferry as you leave downtown Seattle behind. As you sail, take in the stunning coastline views passing you by. In no time, you'll arrive at the destination.
Once the boat anchors in downtown Victoria, you'll have about 6 hours to explore the city at your own pace. Start with a stroll through its charming streets lined with Victorian architecture, or visit the iconic Fairmont Empress for traditional afternoon tea.
During your visit, we also recommend checking out the Butchart Gardens, a 55-acre oasis filled with flowers, walking paths, and scenic views. You'll fall in love with the seasonal colors and relaxing ambiance here. Or, head to Victoria’s Inner Harbor, an ideal spot for enjoying the sunset and grabbing a bite at the waterfront restaurants nearby.
Then, at the designated time, make your way to Victoria Terminal, from where you'll make your return to Seattle, arriving 12 hours later. If you prefer, you can book the one-way only option.
Return Times
Please note that on Thursdays, the ferry returns from Victoria at 1:30 pm instead of at 5 pm, meaning that you'll only have 2 and a half hours of free time (instead of 6 hours) if you take the trip on a Thursday.
