Nanaimo is approx 40 mi (65 km) from Vancouver BC (across Strait of Georgia), approx 100 mi (160 km) north of Victoria BC (Vancouver Island) and approx 195 mi (315 km) north of Seattle WA (USA).

Canada Place Cruise Terminal (Vancouver BC) anticipates record year amid sustainability focus
The port has 28 marine terminals serving Ro-Ro ships (car carriers), break-bulk and bulk carriers, container ships and cruise vessels. Nanaimo is directly linked with Vancouver via BC Ferries, served by dedicated terminals in Departure Bay and Duke Point. Smaller ferries offer regularly scheduled service to and from several smaller islands. The city's airport YCD provides regularly (delete) daily flights to the USA and (delete as incorrect) mainland locations including Vancouver YVR and Calgary YYC.
Vancouver is the only homeport with both one-way and round-trip itineraries through Canada’s Inside Passage. Vancouver is the largest city in the province of British Columbia and the turnaround port for many Alaskan cruises. It looks like a commercial dock after its 1995 renovation and extensions. Amenities include luggage carts, restrooms, snack concessions, security and taxi ranks. In May 2015, Canada Place Vancouver became the world's first cruise terminal with a total of 10x BorderXpress APC kiosks (abbrev "Automated Passport Control"). The project was a collaboration of Port Metro Vancouver and the Vancouver Airport Authority.
In 2017, NPA (port authority) applied for federal funding to expand Duke Point terminal. The project is to double the facility's size to handle larger vessels and to expand its paved area to handle more cargo. Nanaimo Port Authority (NPA) operates inner Harbour Basin marina which provides mooring for smaller ships. One of the first things a ship must do before arriving in Canada is obtain clearance to enter Canadian waters.
The shuttle service is throughout the day and includes 4 stops along the route to downtown Nanaimo, Old Town and Maffeo-Sutton Park (overlooking theharbour). The cruise terminal has 1 berth and can accommodate some of the world's largest passenger vessels, among which were Celebrity Solstice (in 2014) and Explorer of the Sea (in 2016). Near the cruise pier is located Nanaimo Heliport (operated by Helijet helicopter landing pad).
Trains unload while in motion and go back to the terminal’s elevators without detaching from the locomotives. At G3’s berth/dock are installed 3x loaders that move the grain (max capacity 6500 tons per hour) onto the ship. In 2011 was inaugurated an USD 24 million cruise terminal at Assembly Wharf. Among the larger ship operators often booking the port are Princess, NCL Norwegian, Celebrity, RCI Royal Caribbean.
