We're excited to welcome you on board BC Ferries’ newest vessel – the Northern Sea Wolf – for a breathtaking journey into the heart of the Great Bear Rainforest.

The Northern Sea Wolf was named in honour of a First Nations’ legend in which the Sea Wolf is a manifestation of the Orca. Kwakiutl First Nation’s Richard Hunt and Nuxalk Nation’s DanikaNaccarella designed the artwork that adorns the vessel. Their designs depict the beauty of the majestic animal, with the Sea Wolf the symbol of family, loyalty and the protector of those travelling their waters.
