cruiseryyc Posted January 20, 2009 #2 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Well if you are a good walker you could walk - about 20 to 30 minutes. Alternatively there will be shuttles at the dock that will drop people off right in front of the Empress. You might want to make a reservations for tea; it gets very busy.

Sally Forth Posted January 20, 2009 #3 Share Posted January 20, 2009 You can't miss the Empress. Everyone will be heading over to the Inner Harbour area, and it's right in the middle. The cruise dock is off Dallas Road. http://www.tourismvictoria.com/Map.aspx Viv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The #30, #31 (16 and 33 too, but they're limited service) city bus runs from right in front of the cruise terminal (turn left as you walk out and there's a bus stop on the cruiseship side of the street). The fare is $2.25 (last I checked) and runs to right behind the Empress. Combined they operate 8x/hour (4 each), so you wont wait long. Ask the driver for what's the best stop to get out at.

insideedge Posted January 22, 2009 #5 Share Posted January 22, 2009 You may want to check with the Empress for a tea time, sometimes when ships are in they open only for ship tours. You may not be able to get in before noon and that would be pushing it for time. The ships tour is a nice one, you get a nice tour of the city before tea and the tea is included in the price.
