A 12 oz beer is $6.99 and a 5 oz wine is $9.99. Alcohol will have to be purchased with a meal, however, and there’s a one-drink limit per customer.

This is the first time alcohol is available for purchase on sailings between Vancouver and Victoria. The trial will continue for one year as BC Ferries reviews customer and employee feedback, as well as revenue numbers to evaluate the pilot and determine its success.

“Many of our customers have said they would like to have a glass of wine or beer with their meal while sailing with us,” said Melanie Lucia, Executive Director of Catering and Terminal Operations, in a statement.

“We look for ways to enhance the customer experience and are pleased to now offer these beverages in the Pacific Buffet.”
