A Holiday Tradition, Made Even Better

Hop aboard one of Victoria Harbour Ferry’s iconic heated pickle boats, sparkling with Christmas lights and filled with cheerful holiday music, for a festive 40-minute cruise through Victoria’s Harbour!

What began in 2021 as a simple festive boat ride has grown into a cherished Christmas adventure and a holiday tradition for families and friends. This year, enjoy an even more complete experience, starting and ending at our North Pole at Selkirk Landing.

The magic continues ashore! After your cruise, our partners at Sol Food Café will welcome you with warm, homemade hot chocolate and delicious s’more cookies — the perfect treat to warm up and soak in the Christmas spirit.

Make getting to the North Pole part of the adventure with an optional complimentary ride aboard our heated Christmas Trolley from downtown Victoria to Selkirk Landing. Prefer to drive? Free parking is available at Selkirk Landing.
