When it comes to boat rides, we’d rather be ferrying between the balmy Fiji Islands this time of year. But in lieu, a more pleasurable glide across the Strait of Georgia will do.
On a recent ocean voyage to Vancouver Island we tried out the Seawest Lounge and we’re convinced there’s no better way to sail (other than Clooney’s private yacht that is). Available on four ships in the BC Ferries fleet, the lounge offers a quiet, cozy atmosphere, private washroom and its very own newsstand where you can borrow fashion mags just like you would at the hair salon. Also included are complimentary bevvies and healthy snacks like almonds, cheeses and granola bars to keep the greasy burger cravings at bay.
The $10 fee is well worth it when you find yourself disembarking cool, calm and caught up on celeb gossip with nary an arcade game ringing in your ear.
