Taking the Victoria Clipper from Seattle

If you’re traveling without a car, the Victoria Clipper is a convenient option. It’s a passenger ferry that departs from downtown Seattle and arrives in Victoria’s Inner Harbour in about 3 hours. Once you arrive in Victoria, it’s a short 15-minute taxi ride to the hotel. Be sure to book your tickets early, as the Clipper tends to fill up quickly, especially on holiday weekends.
