Vancouver, B.C.

Ringed by deep water and bordered by densely forested mountains, the British Columbia city of Vancouver has a natural setting alike to Alaska in many ways. This, coupled with its many cosmopolitan offerings, makes its an especially enjoyable transition point for Alaska cruise passengers.

Cruise activity in Vancouver centers around the Canada Place event center and cruise terminal. It serves Princess, Celebrity, Norwegian, Holland America, Viking Ocean Cruises, and Royal Caribbean. Just off downtown Vancouver, the eye-catching facility is known for its distinctive white sail roof. It's a gathering place as well as a cruise terminal, with harbor front trails, events, and exhibits drawing visitors and locals alike. Canada Place is within walking distance to the historic Gastown neighborhood and the city's beloved Stanley Park.
