Vancouver, B.C.: The final cruise ship of the 2024 season, Norwegian Jewel, will depart from Canada Place tomorrow—marking the end of another successful year for Vancouver’s cruise industry.
The award-winning Canada Place terminal at the Port of Vancouver is expected to welcome 327 cruise ship visits and 1.32 million passengers between March 11 and October 29, 2024—breaking the previous record for passengers set last year by more than 80,000 (a 7% year-on-year increase).
“We want to thank everyone who helped 2024 be such a successful cruise season in Vancouver—to have back-to-back record years run so smoothly is a huge accomplishment and testament to the dedication of those involved,” said Shri Madiwal, Vice President of Operations and Supply Chain at the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority, the federal agency that enables growing trade through the Port of Vancouver, including cruise, while protecting the environment.+
In 2024 the award-winning Canada Place cruise terminal was nominated for the following awards: Seatrade Cruise’s ‘Port of the Year’, and the World Travel Awards ‘North America’s Leading Cruise Port’ and ‘World’s Leading Cruise Port’.
