Vancouver Brunch and Lunch Cruise
Overview
There are two cruise options available, each offering a unique way to experience Vancouver from the water. Please review dates and details carefully before booking the option that best suits your plans.
The Indian Arm Lunch Cruise takes you far beyond the city into one of Vancouver’s most secluded and spectacular natural inlets—a fjord accessible only by boat—offering dramatic mountain scenery and a peaceful escape from the urban landscape.
