VICTORIA, BC
BC Ferries is pleased to announce that the summer schedule is now in effect for its northern services. With three routes to choose from, travellers can explore Port Hardy, Prince Rupert, the Queen Charlotte Islands, Bella Coola and all the unique and diverse locations in between.
This spectacular area of the province is rich in culture, physical beauty and recreational opportunities including ocean kayaking, salmon fishing, hiking and wildlife watching. Discover ancient totems and eagles in their natural settings. Include the circle tour through the Cariboo – Chilcotin region in your BC Ferries’ itinerary or carry on north to Alaska.
BC Ferries’ Port Hardy – Prince Rupert service sails up and down the Inside Passage every other day through to September 30. The 15-hour day cruise offers travellers ample time to soak in the rugged beauty of the coastline aboard the well-appointed Northern Adventure.
The Prince Rupert – Queen Charlotte Islands route makes up to five round trips per week. Travel times aboard the Queen of Prince Rupert to the Queen Charlotte Islands vary between six and nine hours, depending on the day of the week. The summer schedule to the Queen Charlotte Islands is in effect until September 18.
The Discovery Coast Passage route provides three round trips per week between Port Hardy and Bella Coola with stops at the coastal villages of Bella Bella, Shearwater, Klemtu and Ocean Falls on specified dates. Kayakers are able to “wet-launch” from the Queen of Chilliwack, which services this route. The Discovery Coast Passage is an eco-tourism route. It is a summer-only service which will run through until September 8.
Explore authentic First Nations culture at the Haida Gwaii Cultural Centre in the Queen Charlotte Islands or take in all the entertainment at the Discovery Coast Music Festival in Bella Coola. Make this the summer to explore British Columbia’s north coast wild frontier. BC Ferries is your key to getting there. Also remember, BCAA members receive a 10 per cent discount on select northern sailings.
Reservations are required on BC Ferries’ northern routes and are available at www.bcferries.com or by calling toll-free to 1-888-223-3229. Customer Sales and Service Representatives are available seven days per week.
