Hi there,

 

I realize you will be on an Alaskan cruise and posted here, but there is a Canada board with lots of info on Victoria. Please click on the link below; once there, use the "Search this forum" button on the right hand side, type in "Victoria", and you will literally get hundreds of threads. This has been discussed before and there is a wealth of information there.

We thoroughly enjoy the Royal British Columbia Museum. It is located very close to the Empress Hotel. We have visited this museum twice, and found it very enjoyable both times.

it's less than a mile, and the shuttle bus (which will wait until it's full) costs $7.50 return. A taxi is under $10; and the city bus is $2.50/ea (from right outside the dock).

We are also going on an Alaska cruise in May and our last stop will be Victoria.

What I did find and the price is reasonable, its called the Big Bus.What it is you can get on and off at certain stops is the best way to explain it.The Web site is :
