Get ready! The cruise that awaits you is known as one of the most spectacular in the world.
You will board BC Ferries' Northern Expedition in Port Hardy and then travel up the coast to Prince Rupert, where you will continue your trip.
This 15-hour journey through the Inner Passage is also used by travellers heading to Alaska and will give you a good look at the west coast.
The 150-metre-long ferry can accommodate 538 passengers and 115 vehicles. At a maximum speed of 20.5 knots, you will sail between the coastline and the islands through endlessly changing wild landscapes and seascapes.
The mist shrouding the surface of the water at the beginning of the day gradually rises to reveal stunning views of inlets, fjords, wooded islands and the majestic Coastal Mountains. It's a sight to behold!
Don't forget your binoculars: you could see eagles, whales and porpoises during the trip!
