About this Trip
Between Dec 1 – Jan 1, it’s holiday magic time at The Butchart Gardens during their annual 12 Days of Christmas Holiday Lights display! Hop on the Victoria Clipper fast ferry to travel from Seattle to Victoria and experience thousands of holiday lights and carolers at The Gardens! Soak in the sound of classic Christmas tunes as they float through the air or stop for a photo with Annabelle the carousel horse as you wander the grounds. Fan of holiday lights? This is an experience you’ll never forget!
Depart from downtown Seattle’s Pier 69 on the Victoria Clipper fast ferry and cruise directly into downtown Victoria. Upon arrival, check-in to your hotel before hopping on a deluxe motor coach at 6pm (Mon – Thur) or 4pm or 6pm (Fri – Sun) in front of The Fairmont Empress to head out to The Butchart Gardens. Stroll through the twinkling wonderland as more than 300,000 colorful lights illuminate the 55-acre grounds.
Keep your eyes peeled and see if you can spot all the enchanting 12 Days of Christmas displays. If you worked up an appetite strolling through the beautiful displays, consider capping off your day with a festive feast at Dining Room restaurant. Afterward, take a CVS Tours departing bus from The Gardens at 9pm (Mon – Thur) or 7pm or 9pm (Fri – Sun) for a relaxing ride back into Victoria.
On your second day in Victoria, grab brunch at one of the many excellent restaurants around town and use the rest of the day to explore the city and join in the holiday festivities before your early evening departure to Seattle.
