Port of Vancouver Releases Second 2026 Cruise Update
The Port of Vancouver has released its second cruise update for 2026, highlighting Canada Place’s record passenger numbers, its upcoming annual Port Day, and a call to action to help drive water conservation in the port.
In its newsletter, the port said that passenger traffic through the Canada Place cruise terminal is reaching record highs. More than 290,000 passengers passed through the terminal in July (the most ever for a single month), with August on track to match that volume.
Vancouver said that 40 percent of the 1.4 million passengers expected at Canada Place this cruise season will have moved through the terminal in the span of just two months. Passenger flows have remained fluid despite these record-breaking volumes.
