🔭 Looking ahead to 2027

Vancouver’s Alaska season returns every year, so the regular Canada Place lines will be back. Here’s the notable new 2027 news so far:

Princess Cruises

Its biggest-ever Alaska program — 187 departures with Vancouver among the homeports, and Star Princess returning.

Royal Caribbean

Serenade of the Seas round-trip from Vancouver, plus Anthem of the Seas open-jaw Vancouver ↔ Seward.

Virgin Voyages

Confirmed back for 2027 with round-trip sailings from Vancouver.

MSC Cruises (heads-up)

MSC joins Alaska in 2027 — but homeports in Seattle and calls Victoria, BC, not Canada Place Vancouver.

2027 itineraries as announced by the cruise lines; subject to change. Full 2027 Canada Place dates will be added once the Port of Vancouver calendar is published.
