“It may seem strange that a city so far north that its nearest well-known neighbor is Ketchikan, Alaska, has become a hot ticket. But that's happening. This summer, 75,000 tourists and 20,000 crew are expected to disembark in Prince Rupert. They'll find a city that is a stirring blend of cultures-Tsimshian, British, and, of course, Canadian — in a setting that ranks among the most beautiful places on earth.”
“—like the ships and railcars, the whales and bald eagles, and the Tsimshian spirits, you'll probably be planning a return.”

“Many cruise passengers sailing the Inside Passage bound for the Last Frontier will discover Prince Rupert's charms when they call on the small town in British Columbia, just 40 miles south of the Alaska state line.”
“Getting around town is easy. In compact Prince Rupert there are no skyscrapers, no fast-moving traffic. Main businesses, many in buildings dating from the 1930's line 2nd and 3rd streets.”
“—you're sure to wear a smile wandering this area.”

“We're in northern British Columbia, in a scantily populated river valley, on a passenger train bound for the Pacific port of Prince Rupert. On the tracks ahead, a moose is standing in the path of our train. The engineer brakes, blows his whistle, and brakes some more. The moose isn't moving.”
“The train comes to a gentle stop. The moose doesn't budge. Looking down from the dome car, we see why: The reeds trembling in the narrow strip between the tracks and lake reveal where her babies are hiding.”

“That section of the North Coast is one of the most beautiful wilderness areas in the world. Fjords, inlets, rain forests, lagoons, sandy beaches, haunting abandoned villages, it's all there offering endless inspiration.”

“The summer dusk is long in Prince Rupert, and catspaw breezes carry the tinkle of rigging and the scent of the sea as we enter the Eagle Bluff Bed and Breakfast through an arched picket gate.” “Prince Rupert offers glorious scenery, a colourful history, and a wide range of activities for visitors, whether they're on a one-day port of call or a stopover of several days.”
