Rare Smokeyham Posted March 1, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Can anyone tell me where the cruise ship docks, i.e. is it downtown or do we need to take a taxi/shuttle? Also, for those looking for some good guides/maps to Prince Rupert, the Visitor Guides on the website are very good: https://visitprincerupert.com/discover-prince-rupert/visitor-guides/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a little after the downtown area, so a short walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urban trekker Posted March 1, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Heidi13 - isn't there a mall just around the corner from the pier - been a few years since I was last there. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis It's also many years since I worked out of Rupert Harbour and we rarely, went ashore. I recall the shops are up the hill from the cruise ship berth, on the main street (Yellowhead Hwy). I never docked in Prince Rupert when working Alaska cruises, but after my cruise ship days, at times we did steam up the harbour while waiting for a berth. I recall seeing a few buildings around the dock and on the hill, but don't recall a mall down at the waterfront. Mind you the memory isn't as good as it used to be.

Northern Aurora Posted March 3, 2023 #6 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I have visited Prince Rupert as a port stop. I find it so refreshing to visit a port where a Diamonds International shop isn't just across from the dock. I don't remember a mall in close proximity, but would not be looking for one either. I do remember the beautifully curated Museum of Northern British Columbia and a lovely artists co-op with great high end crafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
