San Juan Cruises is introducing a new route from the Bellingham Cruise Terminal to the Skagit County town of La Conner as part of its 2014 cruise season, which begins Saturday, May 3.

The La Conner tour will run six times this summer between June and August. It will depart from Bellingham on San Juan Cruises’ 50-foot, 53-passenger M/V Salish Sea vessel, and pass through the Swinomish Channel and Deception Pass.

The tour’s return route will go directly under the historic Deception Pass Bridge.

San Juan Cruises has a variety of other tours scheduled this year, including its popular whale watching cruises.
