About Us
The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority is responsible for the efficient and reliable movement of goods and passengers through the Port of Vancouver, and integrates environmental, social and economic sustainability initiatives into all areas of port operations. Canada Place at the Port of Vancouver is an internationally-recognized landmark as well as an award winning cruise terminal. Our facility offers passengers convenient services and a safe and efficient passenger experience. Canada Place is conveniently located in downtown Vancouver in close proximity to entertainment, restaurants, shopping and attractions, and is only 30 minutes from the Vancouver International Airport (YVR). For more than 30 years, we’ve been a leading homeport for Alaska cruises and act as the home base for one-way and round-trip cruises through the scenic Inside Passage, a stunning coastal route that runs along the west coast of British Columbia. Environmental stewardship is a priority for the port authority. In collaboration with the cruise industry and BC Hydro, the port authority continues to work toward increasing the use of shore power by cruise ships calling Vancouver. Shore power reduces marine diesel air emissions by allowing ships to shut down their engines and connect to BC Hydro’s electrical grid while at dock. Since inception in 2009, the shore power installations at Canada Place have reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 14,000 tonnes.
