Below you’ll find Vancouver's top nine cruise hotels, listed in order of distance from Canada Place, the city’s main cruise terminal (pier). Vancouver has a lot of great hotels, and most of them are packed into the downtown core. Cruises from Vancouver go primarily to Alaska, but also on occasion to Hawaii and the U.S. West Coast.

Things to Know

Vancouver also has a second, less-used cruise terminal called Ballantyne Pier. There are no great hotels near Ballantyne. If your ship departs from that pier you will need to arrange transportation from a hotel to the pier.
Distances shown are approximate but very close; Vancouver's block sizes vary.
Depending on the amount of luggage you have, you may want to take a cab from all but the first three listed hotels.
