Vancouver is the principal departure point for cruises up the British
Columbia's inland passage to Alaska. Cruise ships depart from
Vancouver every day
or two during the spring and summer months.
Vancouver-Alaska Cruise Ship
The cruise ship terminal is centrally located at Canada Place in
downtown Vancouver.
The views from the terminal are spectacular, particularly in springtime
when the north shore mountains are snow-covered. Whether or not
you plan to take a cruise, a walk around Canada Place is strongly
recommended. From the cruise ship terminal, you can either walk south into the
trendy Gastown area or north along Coal Harbour waterfront.
