Information about the best ways to travel from Seattle to Victoria BC

(TRAVPR.COM) CANADA - September 21st, 2020 - Seattle Washington, also known as the "Emerald City" is a short ferry trip, a mini cruise in reality, to Victoria, the island capital of British Columbia.

The high speed Clipper ferry carrying some 400+ Seattle-Victoria travellers departs Elliott Bay daily, year-round, to arrive in downtown Victoria some 2 hrs 45 minutes later.

Without question, ferry travel between Seattle and Victoria is certainly the most scenic and enjoyable way to travel between these neighbouring coastal cities, however there are some alternatives.

If not keen travelling on the high-speed Clipper ferry Seattle - Victoria, one can always drive north on the I-5 between Seattle & Vancouver BC, then board a traditional auto / passenger ferry to travel through the Gulf Islands from Vancouver to Sidney some 30 minutes on the Trans Canada Hwy to downtown Victoria.

With a 2hr driving time between Seattle & Vancouver, + a potential Peace Arch border crossing wait, then a 1-1/2 hr Vancouver- Victoria ferry, and again a 30 minute drive to land in downtown Victoria, one would spend the better part of 5 hrs travelling Seattle-Victoria.

One of the best mini vacations is a circle trip: board the high-speed Clipper ferry Seattle-Victoria, enjoy all Victoria has to offer for as long as you wish then catch the dedicated Coach to take you out to and onboard the BC Ferry travelling to Vancouver.
The Coach delivers you into the downtown core enabling you to access numerous hotel, explore Canadas' 3rd largest city and then, when ready to return to the US catch the Amtrak to Seattle.

Seattle, Victoria, Vancouver, Seattle - a perfect vacation involving a high speed ferry Seattle - Victoria, a traditional BC Ferry Victoria Vancouver, and then complete your trip with a train ride through the farm lands and northern Washington cities on the way back to Seattle
