About Nanaimo

Ships call at the Port of Nanaimo, with festivities and displays held at the cruise terminal on Assembly Wharf. The downtown waterfront is close to the terminal, and a shuttle has run on some calls, and the Harbourfront Walkway follows the harbour for walking. Many guests stroll the walkway, stop at Maffeo Sutton Park, or sit at Lions Pavilion and Spirit Square for harbour views.

Others take a ferry to Saysutshun (Newcastle Island Marine Provincial Park) for forest trails and coastal views, or visit Protection Island and its floating pub. Calls here are occasional, so terminal activities and any shuttle service may vary by ship.
