In just a few hours you’ll get a good idea of why Vancouver, a city of mountains, seascapes, forests and unique architecture.

Highlights include the soaring cedars of Stanley Park, exotic Chinatown and historic Gastown.  Your motor coach will head directly toward Stanley Park which encompasses 1,000 acres, of which 800 acres are forested.

There will be a short stop at the totem pole collection before you continue to Brockton Point Lighthouse, for glimpses of the North Shore Mountains, West Vancouver and the Lion's Gate Bridge.  this bridge connects the north and south shores of the mainland.

Then, after meandering through the park toward English Bay's north shore, you'll overlook the university area and Kitsilano.  There are panoramic views of the city and its mountain backdrop from the southern side of the bay. You'll then pass through the prestigious Shaughnessy District en route to Queen Elizabeth Park for a 20-minute interlude.

Vancouver boasts North America's second-largest Chinatown, brimming with colorful shops and street-side vendors.  From there, you'll proceed through Gastown, the city's birthplace and home of the famous steam clock.

Soon afterwards, you'll return to the ship.


Approximately 3-1/2 hours.
