The Noordam, one of Holland America Line’s elegant Vista-class ships, made a swift and efficient departure from Canada Place in Vancouver. Known for her sleek design and traditional charm, Noordam wasted no time today — her exit was one of the fastest we’ve seen this cruise season.
Departing early in the afternoon under hazy skies, Noordam embodied Holland America’s signature style: smooth, precise, and graceful. With the North Shore mountains rising in the distance and busy harbour traffic weaving around her, the ship slipped away from Canada Place and set her course toward the open waters of the Pacific.
The haze in the air, softened by afternoon light, created a unique backdrop as the seaplanes circled overhead, cargo ships passed by, and smaller ferries crisscrossed False Creek and Burrard Inlet. Despite all the harbour activity, Noordam’s confident manoeuvre commanded attention — her dark blue hull and gleaming white superstructure catching the light as she cleared the harbour.
As part of Holland America Line’s fleet, Noordam carries guests on unforgettable journeys to Alaska’s Inside Passage, Glacier Bay, and beyond. Her quick departure reflects not only efficiency but also the excitement of beginning another voyage north, where glaciers, fjords, and wildlife await.
For cruise fans, watching Noordam’s fast sailaway is a reminder of the variety of departures that unfold daily in Vancouver. Some ships linger and spin gracefully; others, like Noordam, head out with purpose, making their way confidently toward the horizon.
This short reel captures her departure in all its detail — a moment of maritime precision against the dramatic Vancouver waterfront.
