It’s officially cruise season in Vancouver and aren’t you lucky that you a) have a port of call in this beautiful West Coast city, or b) are going to start/end your cruise here. With so many shore excursion or pre/post cruise options and likely not that much time to fit it all in, I’ve narrowed it down to some excellent options tailored to how long you might be in the city for.

Vancouver in a Day: Capilano Suspension Bridge & Richmond Night Market
Cliffwalk at Capilano Suspension Bridge
Capilano Suspension Bridge Park—home to the eponymous suspension bridge that is one of B.C.’s top attractions—has just unveiled its newest, thrilling attraction: the 700-foot long (213 metres), 300-foot high (91 metres) Cliffwalk.

Lunar New Year is celebrated by a number of Asian cultures around the world. Of Vancouver’s 2 million or so residents, over 800,000 are of Asian descent. Every spring, tens of thousands of people pack the streets of Vancouver’s Chinatown for one of the biggest and most colourful festivals of the year.
If you’re already planning on coming to Vancouver to ski or ride, try to time your vacation to coincide with this festival. Make sure to research and plan in advance though because the exact dates for Lunar New Year change every year. The festival takes place according to the phase of the moon.
Cypress Mountain is Vancouver’s largest ski area. With 53 ski runs, six lifts and 2010 vertical feet, it’s obvious why this is such a popular destination for visitors to Vancouver. In addition to the alpine skiing and riding area, there is also a Nordic area for snow shoeing, cross country skiing and snow tubing, making Cypress a great family destination.
