A rare royal double — two Princess ships arriving on the same day, each making her own entrance.
This timelapse video captures the full back-to-back arrival sequence of the Grand Princess and Ruby Princess at Vancouver’s Canada Place. It’s not a side-by-side comparison — it’s even better: one after the other, each with their own time to shine.
🌅 Grand Princess arrives first, just after sunrise.
Her golden glow reflects off calm water as she glides into harbour, smooth and serene. The city is still quiet. The skies are soft. A timeless, graceful arrival.
☀️ Ruby Princess follows later in the morning, bathed in crisp daylight and arriving with confidence. Her approach is bold, her docking smooth, and her timing perfect.
📍 Filmed from the Vancouver City Views vantage, this timelapse stitches both moments together into one cinematic sequence. You’ll see:
Grand’s early morning spin and gentle docking
The bright blue skies that greeted Ruby
Water traffic shifting between arrivals
Both ships parked at Canada Place — the harbour at its most elegant
