Cruises from Vancouver

Located in British Columbia, Canada, the metropolitan city of Vancouver is a very popular cruise departure port. Cruises from Vancouver are typically available from late-April through early-October. Hands down, Alaska cruises are the most popular and most featured cruises from Vancouver. Short cruises along the US Pacific Coast are also fairly popular from Vancouver, while a limited selection of Hawaii and South Pacific cruises are also options. Because Vancouver is a very desirable city to visit, many people that take a cruise from Vancouver opt to stay a few nights in the city prior to or after their cruise.

Princess Cruises, one of the leaders in Alaska cruises, features a whopping four ships cruising regularly from Vancouver: Coral Princess, Crown Princess, Island Princess, and Pacific Princess. Princess also features Golden Princess, Grand Princess, and Star Princess making irregular sailings from Vancouver. Most of the itineraries are 7- or 14-night Alaska cruises, some sailing round trip from Vancouver, with others sailing Northbound (ending in Whittier, Alaska). A few longer cruises are available with Princess, going to destinations such as the Panama Canal, Hawaii, and Asia.

Celebrity Cruises offers two cruise ships departing from Vancouver mainly on premium 7-night Alaska cruises, Celebrity Century (sailing round trip) and Celebrity Millennium (sailing Northbound, ending in Seward). Another premium cruise line, Holland America Line, offers a large selection of cruises from Vancouver. The majority of their cruises are 7-night Alaska cruises, aboard ships that sail round trip from Vancouver (ms Zuiderdam and ms Volendam) and those that sail Northbound, ending in Seward, Alaska (ms Zaandam and ms Statendam). A few longer Alaska cruises, as well as a few Panama Canal and Hawaii cruises from Vancouver, are also being offered by Holland America.

Royal Caribbean mostly features 7-night Northbound Alaska cruises from Vancouver aboard their beautiful Radiance of the Seas, plus a couple of 10- and 11-night Hawaii cruises. Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) has two ships that cruise from Vancouver, just doing a couple of sailings each (5- or 7-nights in length).

Those looking for a luxury cruise from Vancouver should be happy to learn that the all-inclusive brands of Regent Seven Seas Cruises (mostly 7-night Northbound Alaska cruises aboard the all-suite Seven Seas Navigator) and Silversea Cruises (7-, 10- and 11-night Alaska cruises aboard the all-suite Silver Shadow) offer such cruises.

Disney Cruise Line's Disney Wonder, is based out of Vancouver doing 7- to 9-night Alaska sailings for the summer cruise season. All of these Alaskan cruises will be round-trip.

An Alaska cruise tour is a fantastic option available for those looking to combine an Alaska cruise from Vancouver with a land package that explores Alaska even more inland. Such Alaska cruise tours are currently available through Princess Cruises, Holland America Line, Celebrity Cruises and Royal Caribbean. View our Cruise Tour section for more information!

Short cruises from Vancouver are available from both Princess Cruises and Holland America Line. Such cruises are 1- to 5-night Pacific Coast cruises, which typically end in cities such as Seattle, Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego.

Things to do in Vancouver

These are just a few of the more popular tourist attractions in Vancouver, along with a brief description:

♦ Stanley Park
It would be a shame to take a cruise from Vancouver without visiting one of its most popular areas. Over 10% larger than New York City's Central Park, Vancouver's Stanley Park is often named as being one of the best parks in the world. Among the many activities you can take part in while at this park are running, walking, swimming, cycling, tennis, Pitch and Putt golf (as there's an 18-hole course), inline skating and hiking. There is even an petting farm and an aquarium in Stanley ParkStanley Park (Vancouver Aquarium, which happens to be the largest in Canada). One of the big attractions at the park happens to be its beautiful totem poles, which many visitors like to take a picture next to.

♦ Granville Island
This island is a formal industrial site that's connected to the Vancouver's mainland, which now happens to be a very popular place to go shopping. Among the many things to do there are checking out the great public market (which has over 100 vendors in it), as well as the marina, quaint shops and cafes, and various theaters. Beer enthusiasts should consider taking a tour of Granville Island Brewing Company's facility (Canada's first modern microbrewing facility). You should certainly consider visiting this fabulous area of Vancouver before or after your cruise from Vancouver.

♦ English Bay
The beautiful English Bay is home to many events throughout the year. For instance, each summer hundreds of thousands of people go there for the Celebration of Light fireworks competition. English Bay Beach is downtown Vancouver's most popular place to go for some sunbathing, swimming and sunset-watching. Those taking a cruise from Vancouver that are looking for a great beach, or even just a beautiful place to walk around, should certainly consider visiting English Bay.
