NOTES of a NOMAD #321 -1 Million Visitors, One Small City — Victoria’s Cruise Ship Surge -12 April 2026

Did you know that Victoria on Vancouver Island hosts the most cruise ship visits of any Canadian port?

There are 335 cruise ship visits scheduled this year from April to October which means there could be over 1 million guests visiting our small city.

Tourism is big business here and the cruise ship visits continue to grow since I arrived here in 2008.
