Creator's Key Takeaways

Alaska is one of the best cruises that we've done and we've done it twice so far and we highly recommend anybody who loves cruising, loves nature, and wants to go to a really cool place, make sure you book an Alaskan cruise.

Victoria was a lovely city. Weather was fantastic. Super walkable. It was nice just to be able to stroll around, check out the sites.

I love the historical aspect of Victoria. There's a ton of stuff to look at, ton of history.

It was probably one of the best things that we did on our entire 7 days on the cruise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Visit Victoria earlier in the day to experience more attractions and whale watching.
Check out Captain's Corner on Royal Caribbean ships for a unique Q&A with officers.
Try the Royal Mystery puzzle break game for a fun onboard activity.

YouTube Video Description

Join us on the final stop of our 7-night Alaska cruise aboard Royal Caribbean’s Quantum of the Seas! In this vlog, we explore the charming city of Victoria, British Columbia — known as the City of Gardens and one of the most beautiful cruise ports in Canada. Even with only a few hours in port, we managed to walk through downtown Victoria, visit the historic Fairmont Empress Hotel, explore Canada’s oldest Chinatown, and stroll along the colorful Fisherman’s Wharf. Back onboard Quantum of the Seas, we’ll take you behind the scenes at Captain’s Corner, battle it out at Harry Potter trivia, and solve the Royal Mystery escape-style game — one of the most fun activities of our entire cruise!
