Vancouver Excursions |
|
 |
 |
|
Vancouver is a big city and a great place to get out and explore. Whether you're taking a bus tour of the city, walking through its parks and neighborhoods, or getting out of the city to view the area's spectacular mountain scenery, you'll find lots of things to do in Vancouver.
Most ships will dock at the modern Canada Place cruise ship facility, which is located in the city center and near excellent hotels, shopping, dining and entertainment venues. You'll know you're there when you see the distinctive white sails that fly over the structure. The Canada Place facility also houses a five-star hotel and the Vancouver Convention and Exhibition Centre.
If you're not docking at Canada Place, you'll dock at the overflow facility at Ballantyne, which is located just minutes away from Canada Place.
