CANADIAN CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS

Double $1499 Single $1799 per person (Deposit: $100)

Christmas in Canada is filled with music, family and friends, group feasts and longstanding traditions. Take a holiday trip to three of Vancouver Island’s favourite Christmas landmarks: The Christmas Express Train, Ladysmith Festival of Lights and Chemainus Theatre Festival. Spend three nights in the charming town of Chemainus, full of quaint shops, an ever-expanding collection of murals and its very own Theatre Festival. Spend an evening at the theatre, dining at the Theatre Buffet before enjoying a live Christmas Performance. Visit a winter wonderland at BC Forest Discovery Centre to ride the Christmas Express Train. Explore the 100-acre grounds transformed into holiday magic with twinkling lights and Christmas displays. Attend the Ladysmith Festival of Lights, which includes the countdown to light up, the town’s annual Craft and Artisan Fair and the Kinsmen Parade with a folding chair, making this a truly special Christmas event. Get to know local Artisans Mary Fox Pottery and Creartful Dodger Collage Studio, see and hear the migrating sea lions in Cowichan Bay, take free time to browse the shops in Duncan and visit Pacific Northwest Raptors for an up-close experience. Lastly, visiting the Gatsby Mansion for Afternoon Tea Lunch at Pendray Tea House ~ is always relaxed and traditional. Visit Victoria’s annual Christmas events, the Gingerbread House Competition and Crystal Garden Christmas Fair. Shopping opportunities on Government Street before we sail back to Vancouver wrap up another Canadian Christmas to remember!
