Overview

This cruise offers a more relaxed and comfortable way to see Vancouver from the water. Unlike larger sightseeing boats or high-speed tours, our custom small-group pontoon features lounge-style sofa seating, close-to-the-water views, and an open layout for panoramic sightseeing and photos. Guests can take in both Vancouver’s vibrant downtown waterfront and its beautiful natural scenery, including coastal views, open water, and mountain backdrops. The experience feels more like enjoying Vancouver from a floating lounge, with a smooth ride, light local commentary, onboard music, and a more personal atmosphere throughout the cruise. With its smooth ride and comfortable layout, it is especially well-suited for guests looking for a calmer sightseeing experience, including couples, families, and multi-generational groups.

Frequently Asked Questions (8)

Q: Will I get seasick on Vancouver Small-Group Sightseeing Cruise with 360° Panoramic View?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
