Vancouver’s 2025 Standby Cruise Program: Unmatched Flexibility and Savings
Vancouver’s 2025 Standby Cruise Program has set sail with an enticing array of last-minute savings and flexible cabin choices, fostering a spirit of spontaneous travel. Offering voyages to stunning destinations such as Alaska, Whittier, Hawaii, Seattle, San Diego, and the picturesque Pacific Coast, this program appeals to adventure-seekers eager to explore breathtaking locales.
Launched in August 2023, the Standby Program quickly gained popularity for providing remarkable fares, enabling travellers to book cruises at a moment’s notice. Although prices have risen for 2025, they start at approximately US $99 per day, inclusive of all taxes and fees. This represents significant savings compared to standard cruise packages.
This year’s program allows guests to select their cabin type before departure—an upgrade from previous methods where staterooms were assigned at check-in based on availability. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for Vancouver residents, who can easily access cruise departures from the city’s Canada Place terminal.
Highlights for 2025 include a spectacular 28-day journey known as the Alaska and Hawaii Legendary Voyage, slated for late August, as well as five-day coastal cruises to San Diego in late September. Shorter one-night sailings between Seattle and Vancouver are also featured, making it accessible for first-time cruisers.
Interested travellers can register for the program and receive notifications if a berth opens up, continuing to enhance the program’s convenience and affordability. With its compelling offerings, the Standby Cruise Program promises unforgettable experiences complemented by unbeatable value, solidifying Vancouver’s status as a premier cruise departure point on the West Coast.
