I’ve long been a fan of B.C. Ferries‘ scenic routes, ever since I took my first trip from Vancouver to Victoria (well, from Tsawwassen to Swartz Bay, if you want to get technical) over two decades ago.

My enthusiasm was rekindled earlier this month when I had the chance to hop aboard several ferries on British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast. The scenery rivalled almost anything you’d see from the deck of a pricey cruise ship. Just check out this view along the route from Earl’s Cove to Saltery Bay.

It turns out my fellow members of the Society of American Travel Writers (SATW) agree with me. The B.C. Ferries made SATW’s new list of the world’s top 10 ferry rides.
