Prince Rupert is a genuine discovery for most visitors - a small, unhurried city on Canada's northwestern coast that most cruise itineraries overlook entirely. Surrounded by deep green fjords and coastal rainforest, it sits at the mouth of the Skeena River on territory the Tsimshian people have called home for thousands of years, and their cultural presence is woven throughout the city. The Museum of Northern British Columbia is one of the best indigenous cultural museums in the country, and the wildlife viewing - bears, bald eagles, orcas - is exceptional for a city of 15,000.
What we'd suggest: The Museum of Northern British Columbia for genuine cultural depth, and a wildlife-watching excursion if the timing works. Prince Rupert rewards the traveler who slows down.
