First Prize is a four night cruise for two aboard the MV Aurora Explorer! WELCOME ABOARD! Cruise the inland waterways of coastal British Columbia and experience the magic of the MV Aurora Explorer, a 135 foot landing craft that transports a wide variety of heavy equipment and general freight throughout the Gulf of Georgia and the remote inlets of Johnstone- Queen Charlotte Straits. Along with 12 other passengers, you'll enjoy rugged coastal scenery, observe killer whales and other sea life, and experience the history and influence of the early explorers, settlers, cannery workers and native populations on the coast. You'll listen as the crew works the radio telephones or navigates the ship by radar and watch as freight is loaded and discharged along the way. The Aurora Explorer operates from a base at Menzies Bay (15 km north of Campbell River, BC), and offers a dining lounge, lower deck lounge and bridge deck lounge for passenger comfort and viewing. There is a nautical and history library of coastal BC on board. There are also outside observation decks where passengers can observe activity on the freight deck, enjoy the passing scenery or simply lie back and soak up the sunshine and salt air. The Aurora Explorer is Transport Canada Ship Safety approved and carries the full range of safety equipment as directed by the Canadian Coast Guard. Passenger accommodations are premium staterooms with twin beds and forward viewing windows, or standard staterooms equipped with bunkbeds. There are six shared washrooms, three shower rooms and adjacent washer/dryer. Passenger accommodation is offered on regular freight voyages to a variety of coastal locations. Trip packages are three, four and five days in duration. Passengers enjoy observing the ship at work, but there's also time for play. Going ashore for a picnic or exploring tidepools in a hidden bay, throwing in a line when the vessel is waiting on the tide and barbeques on the back deck or beach are all part of the pleasures of freightboat cruising on the Aurora Explorer.
