SandAndSea6 Posted June 25, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I'm on a Holland America ship in late August 2023 stopping at Victoria briefly. For anyone familiar with visiting Victoria this way, what would you do? I haven't stepped foot in Canada for 49 years but feel like I would like to do something here. We love to take pictures, take in the sights, eat/drink new things... Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preferably one of the two with hand-pulled or nitro tap ales, served at the correct temperature. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And @SandAndSea6 - it may be a really short stop, with most attractions closed, but at least you likely will get a little bit of daylight, even last day of Aug sunset is just as you arrive, with 30+mins twilight and moonrise soon after. You might manage to get a few 'golden hour' shots as you sail in and even ashore if you hustle off quickly! Maybe some poutine for an evening snack??? (Warning, I did not check ALL the restos on the list are still in the poutine biz - but there's links there you can confirm yourself!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Haljo1935 Posted August 3, 2023 #4 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Being on HAL, we take the ship shuttle to downtown, eat & listen to live music at Irish Times Pub, grab a Gelato at the shop next to where the return shuttle line queues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
