Photo: Cruise Ship Broughton Strait Vancouver Island

A large cruise ship sails through Broughton Strait, between Malcolm Island and Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada.

This is a picture of a large cruise ship sailing down Broughton Strait which separates Vancouver Island from Malcolm and and Cormorant Islands. In the background can be seen the Coast Mountains, an important mountain range in North America which extends from southwest Yukon and the Alaska Panhandle and down virtually all of the coast of British Columbia, a distance of about 1,600 kilometres or 990 miles.

East of the Broughton Strait is the beginning of Johnstone Strait which leads to the Strait of Georgia and the City of Vancouver via the Discovery Passage.

Cruises are a favourite way of seeing coastal British Columbia and Alaska since they combine food, transport, accommodation and entertainment into one package for the traveller. Like floating hotels or even mini cities, some cruise ships have a capacity of more than 2,500 passengers and the facilities range through gyms, swimming pools, computer rooms, casinos, and special children's entertainment. ... continue below the picture...
