With the Seven Seas Mariner gliding through Prince Rupert harbour and making her berth right on time at just before 1 PM, the 2019 Prince Rupert Cruise season is underway!
The first cruise visit of the year, providing an opportunity for many of the 700 guests of the Regent line vessel to make their way to shore and the opportunity to explore what Prince Rupert and the North Coast had to offer.

Once safely tied up and all lines and hoses were attached, the vessel began to send those ashore who were interested in taking in the range of tour opportunities and other activities that were available for the day, with the Tour booth and tour buses finding a fairly busy period shortly after the passengers aboard cleared the customs area.
