Vancouver, British Columbia

Port Vancouver stands apart as a cruise port because it blends gateway access to pristine Pacific Northwest wilderness with a magnetic urban welcome, all framed by the North Shore mountains and Burrard Inlet. Signature experiences flow from the shore to the ship: whale watching and sea kayaking in Howe Sound, cycling or strolling the Stanley Park Seawall, and culture-rich explorations of Granville Island Market and Chinatown, where fresh seafood, local produce, and diverse flavors echo the city's cosmopolitan vitality. Its destinations extend beyond the city to Alaska via the Inside Passage and the Gulf Islands, offering breathtaking glaciers, wildlife encounters, and scenic coastal passages that are a hallmark of Vancouver departures. The fleet serving Vancouver emphasizes the latest generation ships with eco-friendly tech, expansive observation decks, and shipboard innovations that turn every voyage into a floating resort, from immersive dining studios and Broadway-style entertainment to tranquil spa areas and family-friendly zones. Onboard services complement the set-apart experience with chef-led culinary programs, enrichment talks on the regions you visit, flexible shore excursion options, and world-class service, ensuring that Vancouver is not only a port of embarkation but a complete, memorable voyage in its own right.
