Cruise from Vancouver (Vancouver Roundtrip) There aren't many cities in the world that offer Vancouver's combination of big-city lifestyle and outdoor fun in such cheek-by-jowl proximity.  Ski in the morning, sail in the afternoon and still make it back to town in time for a cocktail or three. Vancouver is still a city of new immigrants – wander the streets and you'll hear a dozen different languages.  The city also attracts young professionals and artists from the eastern provinces who come here to enjoy the city's recreation and laid-back sophistication. These days, Vancouver has a cosmopolitan population of about 2 million.  Many Asians have migrated here, mainly from Hong Kong, but other regions are represented as well.  The mild climate, exquisite natural scenery, and relaxed, outdoor lifestyle continually attract new residents to British Columbia's business center, and the number of visitors is increasing for the same reasons.  People often get their first glimpse of Vancouver when catching an Alaskan cruise, and many return at some point to spend more time here.
