Activity Level 1 - Light & Leisurely

You can climb at least one flight of stairs, board a coach, and walk unassisted at a relaxed pace for up to 60 minutes without difficulty. You can easily handle altitudes up to 5,000 feet.
Your cruise ends this morning in the vibrant Canadian city of Vancouver. Ascend Grouse Mountain on an enclosed gondola and take in panoramic views while you enjoy lunch on the peak of Vancouver. Join a private ranger-led tour to meet two grizzly bears that were rescued in 2001. Later, stop at beautiful Stanley Park, Canada’s renowned urban rainforest. Follow the park’s famous seawall and encounter mountain views along trails, beaches, historical landmarks, and colorful gardens.
