Where to Stay in Vancouver Before a Cruise: The Ultimate Downtown Retreat

So, if you are planning a cruise trip to Alaska or the Pacific, you are certainly excited about your trip. However, we know one thing for sure—planning a holiday, getting yourself ready, preparing your baggage, and trying to figure out where to stay in Vancouver before a cruise etc., all this takes a lot of effort, and you might need something more than just that small room in the middle of nowhere. You need a comfortable space for rest and recovery.

That is why we invite you to enjoy our downtown 1-bedroom + den apartment. We promise that our rooms will provide you with all necessary comfort before setting foot onboard.

The Logistic Breakdown: Where to Stay in Vancouver Before a Cruise

The very first thing that a tourist considers upon choosing accommodation in Vancouver for their cruise is undoubtedly this question: "How close am I to my ship?"

Though the mega-hotel chains are right above the Canada Place Cruise Terminal, they also cost an arm and a leg due to their luxury status. We offer our guests the ability to have luxury in Downtown Vancouver at a significantly lower price, while still maintaining absolute convenience.

Our location is across the road from the Stadium-Chinatown SkyTrain station. For a trip to the ship, you will need only two stops, which will last for about 4 minutes, to get to Waterfront Station (Canada Place exit). Alternatively, in case your luggage is too much for transportation, an Uber or a taxi trip from us to the cruise port will take less than 10 minutes.

The "Pre-Cruise" Prep: Spread Out and Repack

Have you ever tried to unpack two large checked bags in a regular hotel room? You will find yourself stepping on your own shoes in the process.

Our suite is a large 1 bedroom plus den with a fully equipped living space, which means that you will have all the necessary space to arrange your items properly and pack formal attire for your ship.

• In-Suite Laundry: This option comes in very handy since you will be able to clean all your traveling attire before boarding the cruise ship and thus start your vacation with a brand new suitcase (which also means avoiding the additional costs associated with laundry on the ship).

• Fully Equipped Kitchen: Get the necessary products from the grocery stores and pharmacies right across the street.

• Free Secured Parking: When driving to town in order to get aboard your cruise ship, you will spend a fortune on parking. However, we provide free parking options to our guests.

Unwind in a Private Spa Before You Set Sail

Why wait until you’re on the boat before you have your holiday? There are enough facilities in our building for you to have a luxurious holiday during those days as well!

After an afternoon out exploring the town, just return, dump your luggage, and go down to the indoor pool, hot tub, and sauna of the building. It’s the best way to relieve your travel anxiety or stress. At night, you can relax by drinking some wine while enjoying the stunning view of the mountains and the city from the comfort of your own living room.

Turn a Port Stop into a True Vacation

Make use of Vancouver as your transit point, but most importantly, take the time to enjoy the city while you are here! Just a few steps from our front door, you will have the opportunity to explore the cobbled streets of Gastown, Yaletown, and downtown.

If you prefer a more traditional Vancouver experience, simply walk to the waterfront and hop on board the Aqua Bus to Granville Island for an afternoon filled with cheese tastings, pastries, and waterways teeming with boats.

We’ll Have the Coffee Ready

Our objective is to make your move from land to sea entirely hassle-free. This is the reason that we employ a flexible system for self-check-in which ensures that you are not caught up against deadlines in case your flight is delayed.

As soon as you arrive at the destination, you will be greeted by a welcome basket containing coffee, water, snacks, as well as our carefully crafted list of the best places to eat and see.

Cruising should be your vacation. Don't let poor planning put a bad start to your trip. Make your reservations today!
