The Port of Vancouver welcomed a record 306 cruise ship visits in 2022, an increase of 6% compared to 2019.

The final cruise ship of the season departed from the Port of Vancouver on November 2nd, 2022, completing a comeback year for the local cruise industry, following a two-year hiatus due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.

While passenger numbers were lower in 2022, as expected, as people slowly returned to their pre-pandemic travel habits, occupancy levels gradually increased throughout the season and are projected to average approximately 70% for the year. This will mean approximately 815,000 passenger visits Vancouver in 2022, compared to approximately 1.1 million in 2019.
