The Victoria Express begins service this summer on May 22, just in time for Memorial Day weekend. Plan to ride the ferry from Port Angeles to Victoria, BC during that long weekend, and take advantage of some of the spectacular special deals offered by Victoria Express.
Victoria Express trips to Craigdarroch Castle
Their Afternoon Express Special Includes round trip ferry tickets from Port Angeles to Victoria and a Grand City Drive tour. At $53.50 per person, it is an affordable way to leave the country for the day. Victoria Express takes care of all of the details – you simply sit back, relax, and take in the glorious views of the Straits of Juan de Fuca and the city of Victoria.
If you would like to add a taste of old Scotland to your day trip, check out Package 3a, which adds a trip to Craigdarroch Castle. According to the castle’s website, “Craigdarroch was built between 1887-1890 for Robert Dunsmuir, a Scottish immigrant who made his fortune from Vancouver Island coal. This legendary Victorian mansion, built on a hill overlooking the City of Victoria (Craigdarroch means “rocky, oak place” in Gaelic) announced to the world that Robert Dunsmuir was the richest and most important man in Western Canada…. The immense fortune of the Dunsmuir family is reflected in the four floors of exquisite stained glass windows, intricate woodwork and fabulous Victorian era furnishings.” A trip to the castle makes a delightful outing for anyone interested in Victorian architecture.
Take some time to plan your summer getaways on the Victoria Express. Remember that as of June 1, 2009, travelers between the United States and Canada will need passports or an enhanced driver’s license.
