is the scenery a once in a lifetime treat? Or should we stick to a shorter,quicker Prince Rupert-Ketchikan,AS option instead? 3-4 older guys in our 50's....2 have never been to BC.Will spend 2-3 nights in Vancouver then fly to either Port Hardy or Prince Rupert.

No.

Done the trip a number of times from different craft including a BC Ferry-it's not in any way exceptional just a lot of bare rocks/small broken trees and water.

Does anyone else have an opinion? I have heard some say it is a gorgeous, if long, ride. And what about the quality and price of the food on board? Thanks, all!

We did the BC Ferries trip in early March one year, with drizzle and low clouds.... lots of grey... grey skies, grey water. We didn't see any wildlife. But we still thought it was beautiful.

Food on BC Ferries is notorious for being overpriced and poor quality-the northern routes even more so.

It's all prepacked/frozen microwaved pap-fresh anything is a rarity.
