VANCOUVER

Vancouver is a clean, vibrant city of 2.5 million people that is a common starting and ending port for cruise itineraries. The port is 10 mi/ 16 km away from the Vancouver International Airport, and is in the heart of the downtown district.

Popular areas of interest such as Granville Street and the historic Gastown District are within walking distance. You will find a fantastic visitor information center directly across from the Canada Place Cruise Terminal to aid in helping you discover Vancouver.

Vancouver has many travel opportunities to offer. It is filled with world class museums, art galleries, and shopping options. If it is a nice day, embrace the outdoors with a trip to Stanley Park, Grouse Mountain, Capilano Suspension Bridge, or the VanDusen Botanical Gardens.

For foodies, head to the Granville Island Public Market. If you have time and wish to venture further, consider taking a Ferry over to Victoria B.C.

If embarking/disebarking in Vancouver, consider spending a few extra nights to fully dive into everything the city has to offer.
