What is the address of Canada Place cruise terminal?
Tell your GPS: 999 Canada Place, Vancouver, BC
The address gets you to the building; the ramp gets you inside it. Drivers enter by the vehicle ramp at the foot of Howe Street, where a Port of Vancouver traffic attendant near the top of the ramp assigns a lane, and the parkade's own entrances are off Canada Place Way, off Waterfront Road on the east side, and through the Cordova Street tunnel. None of Canada Place Way, Howe Street or Cordova Street is a permitted place to stop. Arriving without a car, the address to aim for is Waterfront station, which sits beside the terminal and is where the SkyTrain, the SeaBus and the West Coast Express all arrive.

Drop-Off & Parking
How much is parking at Canada Place cruise terminal?
Parking is the Canada Place parkade underneath the terminal, run by Indigo as Lot V374 at 999 Canada Place. Indigo publishes C$74.50 a day whether you pay same-day at a pay station or pre-book online, and the pre-booked rate adds booking, convenience and transaction fees on top of it. Cruise parkers are directed to level P2. Height limits are 6'9" on P2 and 6'6" on P1, and Indigo handles bookings and over-height vehicles on 604.669.7275 or toll-free 1.800.469.4169. Do not use a space marked RESERVED — Indigo tows at the owner's expense. Refunds, changes and cancellations are accepted up to 7 calendar days before departure and not within 7 days or after it; the address for those is guestservices.bc@group-indigo.com. Three Indigo lots away from the terminal are cheaper, all pre-book only: Bentall Centre's Pender Parkade at 1040 West Pender St and Thurlow Parkade at 540 Thurlow Street are C$60.00 a day including fees and taxes, and Arthur Erickson Place is C$50.00 a day plus convenience and transaction fees.
Where do you drop off passengers at Canada Place cruise terminal?
Drivers reach the terminal by the vehicle ramp at the foot of Howe Street, where a Port of Vancouver traffic attendant near the top of the ramp assigns a lane. Go to the designated drop-off location and take your baggage to the spot marked for your ship, saying the vessel name clearly so the bags are routed to the right vessel. Passports and medication stay with you, never in a checked bag. Stops of 15 minutes or less are permitted at the Canada Place parkade for dropping off and picking up cruise passengers; anything longer is paid at a machine on site or online. For an immediate pick-up, follow the signs to the orange zone on P1, and if your passengers are not there yet, move out of the lane and wait in a parking stall — parking fees apply, and the orange zone has to keep moving. Ride-hailing is the one asymmetry to plan around: Uber and Lyft may drop off on level P2, entering by the main parkade entrance off Canada Place Way, the east side entrance off Waterfront Road, or the Cordova Street tunnel, but they are not permitted to pick up guests at the terminal at all. Never use Canada Place Way, Howe Street or Cordova Street as a drop-off. Pre-booked limousines are dispatched by a traffic attendant at Door D after disembarkation.

What should you know before check-in at Canada Place cruise terminal?
- Check your travel documents before you leave for the terminal. International visitors need the appropriate ETA or ESTA in hand before they arrive.
- Baggage can be checked starting between 10:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Pacific time on the day of your sailing. Indicate your vessel name clearly, keep passports and medication with you, and your checked bags are delivered to your cabin.
- Check-in follows baggage, and passenger screening follows check-in. Have your cruise booking confirmation ready; the screening area is on the cruise ship terminal level, CS, at Canada Place.
- Because cruise ships are considered U.S. jurisdiction, you clear U.S. Customs and Border Protection before boarding. That step comes after screening and is the last one before you walk on to the ship.
- Coming home, you fill in a declaration card, form E311, and clear Canadian customs through the Canada Border Services Agency after collecting your baggage. Passports are not required at disembarkation, but you must present the declaration card.

Local Tip
Canada Place has one passenger terminal, so there is no berth to look up on your documents — every ship uses the same building at 999 Canada Place, and drivers come in by the vehicle ramp at the foot of Howe Street where a traffic attendant assigns a lane. Parking underneath is Indigo's Lot V374 at C$74.50 a day, the same figure whether you pay at a machine on the day or pre-book online, and cruise parkers are sent to level P2, where the height limit is 6'9" against 6'6" on P1. Baggage can be checked from between 10:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. Pacific time, with check-in and screening after it, and because a cruise ship counts as U.S. jurisdiction you clear U.S. Customs and Border Protection inside the building before you walk on board. Ride-hailing runs one way only here: Uber and Lyft may drop off on P2, but they are not permitted to pick up at the terminal, so a returning passenger walks out to a City of Vancouver ride-hailing zone at street level. If you arrive with hours to spare, Flyover is in the same building and opens at 9:30 a.m.
