Vancouver is a seasonal homeport: ships leave from Canada Place from spring to fall, and most of them sail to Alaska. The terminal is downtown on the harbor, a short walk from Gastown and a train ride from the airport. In the winter months no cruises leave from here, so we have no weather data for them.
The average high temperature in Vancouver during October is 61°F, with a low of 48°F.
Vancouver typically sees 7 days of rain in October. Cool and wetter, the season ends.
For a October cruise to Vancouver, you should pack layers, a light jacket, and comfortable walking shoes.
