Vancouver, Coast & Mountains is spectacularly situated by the water, so do something doubly delectable — cruise its celebrated shores while savouring a fine meal and extraordinary scenery.
Some cruises provide guides, others live entertainment. Sunset dinner cruises are particularly popular. During Vancouver's Celebration of Light each summer, many companies offer sunset dinner cruises that give you the best seat in the house for the dazzling fireworks display.
Indian Arm, Vancouver
Take a lunch cruise over the calm waters of Indian Arm, Canada's southernmost glacial fjord. Enjoy views of Silver Falls, the North Shore Mountains, wildlife and private islands. Or explore the area on a guided kayak trip that includes a salmon barbeque on the beach.
The Swan Spirit, Lund
Indulge in a "Banquet at Sea" aboard the Swan Spirit, a 58-foot catamaran. The Swan Spirit leaves from the historic Lund Hotel to sail through magnificent Desolation Sound, BC's largest marine park. Look for eagles, seals, sea lions and porpoises in the myriad islands, bays and inlets.
