Cruising From Vancouver

Gateway to Alaska and the perfect complement to the trip of a lifetime.
Perfectly situated and easily accessible, Vancouver is the ideal home port to begin or end an Alaskan adventure. Blessed with stunning vistas and exciting activities, Vancouver offers the perfect blend of urban and natural experiences.

Regarded as one of the best airports in the world, the Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is served daily with direct flights from airports around Canada, the US and internationally, allowing cruise passengers to easily get to Vancouver to begin their vacation.

Consistently recognized as the “Best City to Live in the World” by the Economist Intelligence Unit and “Best City in the Americas” by readers of Condé Nast Traveller magazine, Vancouver is a must for any cruise itinerary, and a stay of two or three nights pre or post-cruise will allow you to truly appreciate one of the world’s finest cities.

Why Sail from Vancouver?
Recognized as the most passenger-friendly cruise port in North America, Vancouver is the only homeport offering both one-way and round-trip itineraries through the picturesque Inside Passage—along the west coast of British Columbia, to Alaska. As the closest home port to Alaskan waters, departing from Vancouver gives you more time to spend in Skagway, Ketchikan, Juneau and Glacier Bay. From May to October, most cruises departing from Vancouver head to Alaska, but throughout the rest of the year, there are also select sailings to destinations such as California, Hawaii and points further afield. There are a wide range of cruise lines sailing out of Vancouver, including larger vessels equipped with everything you could wish for, through to smaller, more intimate ships better suited to up-close adventures. Lines operating sailings out of Vancouver include Celebrity Cruises, Disney Cruise Lines, Holland America Line, Norwegian Cruise Lines, Princess Cruises, Royal Caribbean International, Crystal Cruises, Oceania Cruises, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, Silversea Cruises and others.
