Seattle and the Space Needle
When you see the Space Needle looming in the distance, you’ll know you've arrived in Seattle. But you certainly won't be “Sleepless in Seattle” as there is more than enough activity to keep you busy! Your city tour includes Pike Place Market, Chinatown, historic Pioneer Square, Seattle’s waterfront and the incredible Space Needle. Officially opened in 1961 for the 1962 World’s fair, the Space Needle’s elevators whisk you to the Observation Deck in under a minute for an unforgettable panoramic view of Seattle. With snow-capped Mount Rainier to the south, the Cascade Mountains to the east and the majestic Olympics to the west, you will see why Seattle is anything but ordinary.

Vancouver – Cosmopolitan Canada
Cradled between the ocean and snow-capped mountains, Vancouver’s dazzling downtown skyline, idyllic waterfront and lush parks make this a city to behold. An experienced local guide will join us for an unforgettable city tour of Vancouver. You’ll see the beauty of Stanley Park with its 1,000 acres of gardens and sand beaches, along with the colorful neighborhoods of Chinatown, Shaughnessy and the historic streets of Gastown. You’ll spend three nights in Vancouver with an endless list of things to see and do in one of Canada’s most cosmopolitan cities.

Travel the Ferry System
You’ll use the popular and intricate ferry system, a main mode of transportation for locals which ties the mainland with the many islands that dot the coast line. Whether it’s crossing the Strait of Georgia or the Strait of Juan de Fuca, ferry is the best way to reach Vancouver Island, the largest in the region.

Whistler Mountaineer
The Whistler Mountaineer is a breathtaking three-hour train trip offering world-class Canadian hospitality from North Vancouver to the mountain town of Whistler. The journey delivers a unique blend of contrasts the “Sea to Sky” region is famous for; cities and old-growth forests, bustling action and natural serenity, deep valleys and snow-capped peaks, seascapes and mountain views.

Victoria – A Capital City
A leading travel magazine named Victoria “one of the world’s top ten cities to visit.” And, Victoria works very hard to live up to that reputation. The historic capital city of British Columbia, Victoria has a distinctly British feel with pubs, tearooms and bagpipers in abundance. Your experienced Tour Manager conducts a panoramic city tour highlighting the best of Victoria, from its beautiful harbor boardwalk to its incredible parliament building. Stop in for a visit at the remarkable Empress Hotel during your free time. One of the highlights of Victoria is the hundred-year-old Butchart Gardens, which has been included on your itinerary. From the exquisite Sunken Gardens to the lovely Rose Garden, you'll be captivated by the spectacular views and elegant waterfalls as you stroll through the expansive lawns.
