About Us
Vancouver will definitely put more vacation in an Alaskan vacation. With its breathtaking setting, blend of cultures and international cuisine, Vancouver is the ideal homeport to start or end a memorable Vancouver-Alaska cruise. Vancouver is the only homeport offering both one-way and round-trips through Canada’s picturesque Inside Passage, which runs along the west coast of British Columbia. Itineraries feature the sights of Alaska’s glaciers, mountains and wildlife. And with a shorter distance travelled through the Inside Passage en route to Alaska, guests have more time to spend in ports. This signature route through the Inside Passage also allows visitors the unique option of travelling on an itinerary that calls at other British Columbian ports, such as Victoria, Nanaimo and Prince Rupert. Port Metro Vancouver’s cruise-ship terminals, Canada Place and Ballantyne are conveniently located, easily accessible, and only 30-minutes from Vancouver International Airport (YVR) by car, taxi or rapid-transit. Canada Place is located in the city centre and is close to shopping, dining, attractions and Stanley Park. This national icon is the place to see, feel and experience what makes Canada spirited and bright. Ballantyne, the Port’s second facility, is just minutes from Canada Place. There is easy access to public transit, transcontinental railroad connections and to the Trans-Canada Highway and cross-border highway systems. With surveys consistently revealing high passenger satisfaction scores, Vancouver is an ideal port for your clients to start or end their Alaskan vacation.
