Canada Place is one of the most iconic cruise ship terminals in the world, boasting several distinctive white sails and a design intended to resemble the decks of an oceangoing liner. It’s also one of the most easily-accessible facilities in the world, thanks to wraparound promenades that allow curious passers-by to view the enormous ships that dock here. From embarkation to cargo handling, there’s never a dull moment!
At the port for our special installment of Cruise Photos of the Week here on From the Deck Chair: Holland America Line‘s sleek, 2002-built Zuiderdam and the 2004, Japanese-constructed Sapphire Princess, part of Princess Cruises‘ comprehensive Alaskan fleet deployment.
