Embarkation at Canada Place
Give the desk the cruise line, the ship and the sail date. The member operator in Vancouver confirms the terminal the port has assigned and times the transfer to the line’s boarding window — from Vancouver International (YVR) with the flight tracked, or from a hotel with the pickup set so you arrive within the window rather than at the head of the queue.
Disembarkation
Disembarkation runs late more often than early. The reservation includes ninety minutes of complimentary wait from the ship’s scheduled arrival and the chauffeur holds at the terminal meeting point with a name board. Luggage goes straight from the hall to the vehicle, and the departure flight is on the confirmation so the timing is built around it.
Checking the berth before sailing day
Which terminal and berth your ship works from is set by the port, not the cruise line, and it can move in the last week of the schedule - which changes where a car is allowed to set down and how far you walk with luggage. Canada Place official website publishes the working schedule; the desk reads it the day before and sends the chauffeur to the right gate.
Before and after the cruise
A pre-cruise night in Vancouver, a chauffeured day at the region’s attractions, a post-cruise transfer to a second city: all booked on the same desk. See the Canada page for the rest of the coverage.

Questions about Canada Place transfers
Which terminal at Canada Place will my ship use?
The desk confirms it with the port for your cruise line, ship and sail date and prints it on the confirmation. Terminal assignments change per sailing and are re-checked the day before.
How long will the chauffeur wait on disembarkation?
Ninety minutes from the ship’s scheduled arrival, at the terminal meeting point with a name board. Beyond that, wait time is billed at the published rate.
Can you take us from YVR straight to the ship?
Yes, with flight tracking on the arrival and the boarding window on the port side. A stop at a hotel or a store on the way is added to the fare.
Do you carry groups to Canada Place?
Yes: Sprinters, mini coaches and motorcoaches for embarkation from a hotel block, and hourly chauffeurs for private shore days timed to all-aboard.
