Does the Amsterdam dock at the Inner Harbor, or Ogden? (in Victoria BC) I'm having trouble finding the port schedules for Victoria. Does anyone have a link?

Also, any recommendations for something to do that evening (we are only there from 6 PM and I will probably want to be in bed by 10! :)) just walking into town?

 

Thanks in advance!!

Amsterdam docks at Ogden Point, as do all the cruise ships. Here's a link for the Victoria port schedules:

My sister is going on Amsterdam to Alaska in just a few weeks, and she has compiled a list of things to do there on her blog:

You're very welcome. My sister will be on Amsterdam August 5-12, and will be doing her blog while she cruises, with lots of photos as usual. So stay tuned:D

 

Oh, that's exciting! I will definitely watch for her "live" blog! I embark the day she gets back! (August 12)

About 20 minute walk to Fairmount Empress hotel. About 1.8 kilometres.

 

Also try local bus which passes outside pier.

 

Sounds good - if weather cooperates. Would you believe I've cruised this itinerary 11 times over the years, and only got off the ship at Victoria once? It was 4th of July week (can't remember what year) and we went to Butchart Gardens and also to the Butterfly Farm... it was great. Every other time we've docked in pouring rain and I haven't even seen downtown! So here's hoping for this year! Thanks for all the responses!

We did the High Tea at the Empress once and it was very nice. We arrived late on our last visit and our shore excursion to Butchart was cancelled. On our first stop here we did an Orca Watch cruise that was possibly the highlight of the week.
