Canada Place Transportation
Connect the Cruise With the Rest of the Journey
Cruise transfers often connect two different schedules: a ship with a flight, hotel stay or regional trip. Passenger count and voyage baggage should be planned together so the vehicle has enough room for both.

Common Connections
Before or After Canada Place
Choose the route that matches what happens immediately before embarkation or after disembarkation.
Cruise-Day Planning
Details That Change the Vehicle or Timing
Flight Time
For Canada Place to YVR trips, the departure time matters when planning the post-cruise connection.
Cruise Luggage
Several full-size bags can make an SUV or Sprinter more appropriate than a sedan.
Hotel Stay
Pre- or post-cruise hotel transportation can be arranged separately from the airport connection.
Family Travel
An SUV can provide more space when several passengers are travelling with cruise luggage.
Private Groups
A Sprinter can keep the group and luggage together instead of dividing travellers across vehicles.

SprinterCruise Departure Planning
Choose Your Terminal Pickup
| Starting point | What changes the plan | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| YVR arrivals | Flight timing, baggage and customs before vehicle pickup | Airport-to-Canada Place service |
| Vancouver hotel | Hotel entrance, checkout time and complete bag count | Confirm the pickup address and ship check-in |
| Home or regional address | Travel distance, traffic and luggage | Request a route-specific quote |
For a return pickup after your sailing, confirm the meeting instructions and contact method before disembarkation day. A ship’s scheduled arrival does not guarantee the time your party will be ready to leave the terminal.
