Cruises from Vancouver

Canada Place, and a walk-off start to Alaska.

British Columbia, Canada

Canada Place, and a walk-off start to Alaska.

Vancouver’s cruise terminal at Canada Place is one of the few big-ship piers that sits in the middle of a downtown. Alaska weeks in our samples board here in late spring and summer. You are embarking in Canada, so the paperwork is not identical to a Seattle departure even when the ports of call look similar.

The seven-night sample and the longer fourteen-night sample are both in this catalog. The longer one is for travelers who want more Inside Passage time, not a different region. Winter is not Alaska season at this pier.

  • Canada PlaceThe downtown terminal. Hotels in the core are a plausible walk or a short ride.
  • Two lengthsA standard week and a fourteen-night sample, both aimed at Alaska.
  • BorderYou enter Canada to board. Build that into your documents check.

Questions about Vancouver

Seattle or Vancouver for the same scenery?

The scenery overlaps. Vancouver is the better embarkation if you want the city under the mountains. Seattle is simpler for a domestic U.S. connection.

Do I need extra time at the airport?

Yes if you are clearing into Canada the day of boarding. The night before is the low-stress version.

Is the fourteen-night sample a different route?

It is a longer version of the Alaska program, with more calls, not a surprise trip to another ocean.
