⚓ Cruise Port
Victoria, the genteel capital of British Columbia, is usually a short evening call on Alaska itineraries (a U.S. law requires a foreign stop) — but it packs a lot of charm into a few hours. The harbourfront is a stroll from the grand Fairmont Empress hotel and the floodlit Parliament Buildings, while the world-famous Butchart Gardens bloom a short drive away. Think afternoon tea, English-style pubs, and tidy gardens.
Because Victoria is usually a short, late call, pick ONE thing — most choose Butchart Gardens (gorgeous when lit after dark) or a harbourfront stroll. Book the gardens transfer ahead, since taxis are scarce when several ships are in.
