Cruises From Vancouver FAQs

The official address is 999 Canada Place, Vancouver, BC V6C 3E1, Canada. The cruise terminal is part of the larger Canada Place complex, which also houses the Pan Pacific Vancouver Hotel, the FlyOver Canada flight simulation ride, the Vancouver Convention Centre, and the World Trade Centre Office Complex.

  • SkyTrain: Take the Canada Line directly from YVR to Waterfront Station (the last stop). The trip takes about 25-30 minutes. Canada Place is a short, four-minute walk (approx. 600m) from the station via covered walkways. The one-way fare includes a YVR AddFare.
  • Taxi/Rideshare: A taxi ride takes about 30 minutes, depending on traffic, and the fare is typically a fixed zone rate (around $38 CAD) from the airport to the cruise terminal.
  • Cruise/Private Shuttles: Dedicated cruise line transfers or independent shuttle services (like Ace Charters) can be pre-booked and offer door-to-door service from the airport to the terminal.
  • Yes, the Canada Place Cruise Terminal is wheelchair accessible, featuring elevators and ramps. The SkyTrain route from the airport is also fully accessible. Passengers requiring wheelchair assistance for embarkation should contact their specific cruise line directly and in advance to arrange for a porter or terminal staff support upon arrival. Designated elevators are often reserved for passengers with mobility issues.

    Both terminals offer on-site parking. Pier 91 has a large, open-air lot with a shuttle service to the terminal, while Pier 66 has a covered parking garage directly across the street, connected by a sky bridge. Reservations are highly recommended, especially for RVs and oversized vehicles at Pier 91.

    Yes, long-term cruise parking is available in the secured underground parkade beneath Canada Place. Parking is expensive, typically ranging from $55 to $60 CAD per day. It is generally recommended to pre-book your space online to secure a spot and potentially a better rate. You may find more economical long-term parking options at or near the Vancouver International Airport (YVR) with a connecting SkyTrain ride to the terminal.

    Yes, third-party luggage storage services are available near or at the cruise terminal, most commonly provided by companies like Westcoast Sightseeing after disembarkation. These services are typically for daytime storage only (e.g., 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM) and charge a flat rate for up to two bags. Overnight storage is generally not available directly at the terminal.

    It is recommended to arrive at the terminal during your scheduled check-in window (usually provided by your cruise line) or to aim for a time outside the busiest periods. The terminal is generally busiest between 11:30 AM and 1:30 PM. Arriving slightly earlier (between 10:00 AM and 11:30 AM) or later (after 1:30 PM) may result in shorter wait times for check-in and security.

    When arriving at Canada Place, porters will be available to collect your checked luggage at a designated drop-off area, which is usually located in the parkade level where transportation arrives. You should affix your cruise line luggage tags (printed with your name and stateroom number) before handing them over. The next time you see your checked bags, they will be in your stateroom.

    Major cruise lines that operate from Canada Place include Holland America Line, Princess Cruises, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, and Disney Cruise Line. The primary and most frequent destination for cruises departing from Vancouver is Alaska. Repositioning cruises to the Pacific Coast and Hawaii also occasionally depart from this terminal.

    The Canada Place Cruise Terminal is located right in downtown Vancouver. For accommodations, the Pan Pacific Vancouver Hotel is built directly into the terminal, offering the most convenient option. The Fairmont Waterfront and Fairmont Pacific Rim are both located just across the street.
