Vancouver City Highlights Pre Cruise

The journey, in full

Pick up from the Cruise Terminal, your downtown Vancouver or Richmond hotel, and meet your tour guide. Stanley Park Totem Poles – It is one of the most visited attractions in British Columbia for a reason. Learn the legends surrounding the ancient Indigenous Peoples’ Story Poles, across from the white sails of Canada Place, located near the entrance to Stanley Park. Stanley Park Prospect Point – Reach the highest point in Stanley Park, our 1001-acre playground, and gaze upon the bustling Lions Gate Bridge, set against a stunning backdrop of magnificent mountains and the sparkling Pacific Ocean. Granville Island – Home to freshly baked treats, restaurants, unique boutiques, and artisan galleries, Granville Island and the Public Market is a perfect place to eat, shop and watch the hustle and bustle of the city. Chinatown – Although the Chinatown of today is an ever-growing part of town, the red lamp posts lining the streets and the Millenium Gate marking the entrance are reminders of how this neighborhood came to be. Gastown – This National Historic Site is home to the statue of Gassy Jack Deighton and the Gastown Steam Clock. Wander through the cobblestone streets and some of the city's oldest architecture. Get something to eat or drink at one of the many fine-dining restaurants or from one of the more casual pubs or bars. Canada Place – One of the busiest areas in town, visit Canada Place to see the 2010 Olympic Cauldron, FlyOver Canada, some of Vancouver’s contemporary art displays, and the unforgettable views of Burrard Inlet and the North Shore mountains. English Bay – Imagine going for a walk along sandy shores and the ocean breeze with the Pacific Ocean on one side and palm trees on the other. That’s right – we’re talking about Engish Bay, one of the city’s best urban beaches.
