Accent Cruises invites guests to board one of their five yachts to experience the peaceful beauty of Vancouver at dusk. The tour departs from Granville Island, giving passengers a great view of the Burrard and Granville Street Bridges before heading off toward Stanley Park and the Lions Gate Bridge on Burrard Inlet. Sights include million dollar homes and maybe even a glimpse cliff divers and eagles near Point Atkinson, before heading across English Bay toward the fabulous view of the Vancouver skyline. The buffet dinner provides excellent choices, including fresh salmon and chicken marinated in garlic teriyaki sauce before being barbecued to a golden brown. Guests round out their meal with fresh salads and vegetables, a tasty pasta dish and crispy French baguettes. Accent offers convenient free parking near the dock.
