Sapphire Princess



Have you ever wondered about the cruise ships that pass under the Lions Gate Bridge frequently in the summer?


The Port of Vancouver posts a list of the ships scheduled to sail over the season. Below is a seven page pdf of voyages scheduled between April and October this year.


The first one will be the Sapphire Princess today.

When I returned to the Lower Mainland in 1990, the Maitre D’ at the Beach House Restaurant would take a microphone and describe the history and attributes of cruise ships as they passed by the restaurant on Friday nights. My workmates and I would rush down after work to get a good table for this event as often as we could.


I hope someone revives that tradition.
