Vancouver Cruise Port – Embarking
Embarkation typically begins at 1pm and passengers should allow for a minimum of 1 hour for examination of travel documents and luggage screening in addition to going through U.S. Customs. Luggage handlers, however, start receiving luggage as early as 10:30am.
If you are being dropped off for your cruise, your driver would enter the Canada Place vehicle ramp (parking garage) located at the end of Howe Street (at Canada Place Way) and a traffic attendant will direct you to the drop-off and luggage unloading location.
Short term luggage storage is available at the terminal through Westcoast Sightseeing.
Wheelchair and Scooter rentals are also available.
Canada Place Cruise Terminal – Disembarking
Passengers disembarking in Vancouver will be required to clear Canadian customs.
For those passengers being picked up by a private car, they would still enter at the Canada Place parking ramp and receive instructions from the attendant. Short term parking is free for the first 15 minutes on levels P1 or P2 of the garage.
Sightseeing in Vancouver
In addition to booking pre- and post-cruise excursions through your cruise line, West Coast Sightseeing offers daily tours of Vancouver, Whistler, Victoria and North Vancouver as well as hop-on, hop-off city tours. The kiosk is located at the ground transportation desk within the cruise terminal.
