Feel the pulse of picturesque Prince Rupert, perched on Kaien Island's northwest shore, on this tour through the City of Rainbows. Prince Rupert is known for its stunning waterfront, vibrant arts scene, and rich Native history.
Hop aboard a vintage-style wheeled trolley. Your local expert guide points out the highlights of this beautiful and remote coastal city — the only municipality nestled in the majestic Great Bear Rainforest. Hear about the boom, bust and rebuild of Prince Rupert's tumultuous economy. You will also learn about the local Tsimshian Nation and Sm'álgyax-speaking people. Wondering how on earth to pronounce that? Your guide has the answer to this and many other questions.
From the trolley, snap a photo of the local Tsimshian Nation's totem collection, with the backdrop of the ocean and mountains that frame the small port.
Continue through scenic winding streets, past Service Park and some of Prince Rupert's earliest residences, still intact.
Visit the Seal Cove Salt Marsh for photos and the miniature Sunken Gardens Park just across from the cruise terminal.
Guests wishing to stay in town to shop or explore independently are welcome to do so but must make their own way back to the ship.
Please note: This tour is designed to be accessible for all guests, including those using a wheelchair (the tour operator suggests bringing a companion to assist if needed, as guides are not allowed to push wheelchairs). Only non-ambulatory guests using a wheelchair that requires specific accommodations, such as a lift/ramp and wheelchair anchor on the transportation, can book this tour, as it ensures accessible transportation; guests using a collapsible wheelchair and able to board the coach via the steps must book Explore Prince Rupert by Vintage Trolley (Companion). Companions can book the same tour under the title Explore Prince Rupert by Vintage Trolley (Companion). The tour route avoids stairs; however, the nature of access may differ from the standards you are familiar with at home. Accessible bathrooms with wide doors are available along the tour route. An accessible vehicle with a wheelchair lift or ramp is used for transportation. The number of accessible vehicles available is extremely limited; make your accessible shore excursion reservations as far in advance as possible. Guests requiring accessible transportation, please complete the Special Services form at https://www.seabourn.com/en/us/about/accessibility; this will ensure that suitable transportation is in place for your tour.
