Victoria Day Trip from Vancouver on the V2V Empress

Beautiful and historic, Victoria is a fantastic place to visit. Now you can experience Victoria in a day, sailing from downtown Vancouver through beautiful islands, Active pass and across the Salish Sea on our stylish catamaran, the V2V Empress.

V2V offers a premium cruise service connecting downtown Vancouver and downtown Victoria in British Columbia, Canada. The downtown departure and arrival points are located within walking-distance of key hotels, restaurants, shopping, museums, transportation and sightseeing services, and local attractions.
