Our ship hadn't even left port and already nature impressed. Here, near Stanley Park, float planes conduct tourist flights.

The scenery was immediately impressive after leaving Vancouver's port, and before our ship even reached the open sea.

Very shortly after our voyage began, signs of civilization faded from a dense city to a few posh homes tucked in the hills.

In short order, the Queen Elizabeth sailed away from all signs of civilization into intensely beautiful wilderness.

Wild strips of forest met the sea and rugged mountains rose up in the background as the ship sailed north up the BC coast.

Often hugging the coast, or sailing up narrow fjords, the ship brought us intimately close to the coastal mountains.

Glaciers carve their way through mountain passes. Peter believes that this one is the Margerie Glacier in the Tarr Inlet.
