The M.V. Coho features a selection of duty free products onboard the ship. We offer Victoria's largest selection of duty-free liquor, including a wide range of spirits such as single-malt scotch, tequila, rum, and vodka, as well as duty-free cigarettes.
The Duty Free Store typically opens halfway through each sailing. The Purser will announce the opening and closing of the store.
