Itinerary
Please choose your preferred 10 day itinerary
Fly to Vancouver where you will be met and transferred to your hotel.
A full day at leisure provides ample time to take in Vancouver’s sights and attractions, or, take a ferry across the island-dotted strait of Georgia to Vancouver Island. The capital city of British Columbia, Victoria, is a unique blend of old world charm and new world experiences. Combined with the beauty of the Pacific Ocean and rain forests set against a backdrop of the Olympic Mountains, a visit to Victoria makes for the perfect day trip.

Today’s journey takes us across the Canada/U.S. border to the jewel of the Pacific Northwest, Seattle. Set on the waterfront and framed by snow-capped mountains, Seattle is a sophisticated city that offers visitors a real sampling of Northwest life.
The Downtown Seattle Waterfront is a great place to take in the views of Elliott Bay and the Olympic Mountains, and no visit would be complete without strolling through the grounds at the Seattle Center, and checking out the spectacular view from the Space Needle’s 520-foot high observation deck!
