A great fast trip from BC to Seattle. Had a great smooth ride this time, with geourgous views! Fun instead of flying.
Riding on the Clipper kicked off a great weekend visiting friends on Vancouver Island. The staff was friendly, the view spectacular, and the ride smooth. For anyone coming from Seattle, the Clipper is an affordable, stress-free way to get away for a long weekend. Highly recommend!
Well organized, comfortable and scenic trip from Seattle to Victoria. We were in the Vista section on the upper level. We would travel by boat to Victoria again!
This was our second experience taking the ferry from Victoria to Seattle and was totally different from the first time. The boarding process was chaotic. There were very long lines to check luggage and get boarding passes. Then we were all herded into a large room with not enough seats to wait for the ship to arrive (it was an hour late). We finally were allowed to wait outside standing in line where at least there was fresh air to breathe. Once we boarded there was again long lines to purchase lunch. The ride was smooth and the captain did make up some time. When we arrived in Seattle again we were in long lines waiting to get our luggage which was sitting out in a room for anyone to take (no one checking IDs). We were told they were short staffed BUT they need to space the schedule out so avoid these long waits.
They were really nice and the ship was clean but it's a long ride and if you're prone to be sea sick it's a REALLY long ride. We upgraded to the nicer seats which helped. We didn't get to see any cool whales.
