The ferry features three classes of service. Economy, Vista Class, and a Comfort Class upgrade on the upper deck, featuring sweeping views and spacious seating along with complimentary snacks, coffee and tea.

The voyage between Seattle and Victoria takes 2 hours and 45 minutes, allowing just enough time to enjoy a selection of locally-sourced meals or a good book. Sightseeing and other activities may be booked en route to your destination. We take pride in vetting each mode of transportation, hotel and activity personally, so we can provide you with inside knowledge and recommendations to create memorable trips.

About Victoria

A less than three-hour scenic cruise on the Victoria Clipper lands you in the heart of Victoria. This beautiful town is one of the most walkable cities in North America. Located on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, this treasure of a town preserves the spirit of England with colonial architecture, an endless supply of lush gardens and a shimmering waterfront that houses an array of farm-to-table restaurants and boutiques filled with locally-produced goods.
