Get ready for a thrilling cruise season in Vancouver! In 2026, the city is set to welcome a record-breaking 1.4 million cruise ship passengers to Canada Place terminal, with a lineup of exciting new additions and a bustling schedule. But here's where it gets controversial... The Disney Cruise Line is kicking off the season with a bang, starting earlier than ever before. The Disney Wonder will kick things off on February 26th, followed by the arrival of the Nieuw Amsterdam on April 11th. But the real controversy lies in the fact that the Disney Magic, the very first vessel of Disney Cruise Line, will be making its debut at Canada Place. This season, Disney Cruise Line is effectively doubling its Vancouver capacity, with the Disney Wonder and Disney Magic combined. The Disney Wonder will make 21 sailings from Canada Place, while the Disney Magic will make 20 sailings, with the Disney Magic's first-ever sailing from Vancouver on May 1st. But that's not all - two cruise lines will be sailing from Vancouver for the very first time: Virgin Voyages and the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection. The Brilliant Lady, the fourth vessel in the Virgin Voyages fleet, will make two sailings from Vancouver this season, while the Luminara of the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection is a smaller luxury ship. So, are you ready to dive into the controversy and excitement of Vancouver's cruise season? Let's explore the details and get ready for a summer of unforgettable adventures!
