Two ships. One beautiful Vancouver afternoon. One seamless real-time departure.
This full-length live recording captures the graceful departures of Radiance of the Seas and Seabourn Quest, each making their own statement as they slip out of Canada Place and head toward open waters.
First, Radiance of the Seas — true to her name — sails away with poise and confidence. With her golden hull reflecting the soft afternoon light and the Coast Mountains looming in the distance, she delivers one of the smoothest getaways we’ve seen this season. It’s classic Royal Caribbean: commanding, photogenic, and beautifully framed by Vancouver’s natural splendour.
Just behind her, the smaller but ever-distinctive Seabourn Quest follows suit. Sleek, quiet, and charming, she showcases the refined presence that has made Seabourn a leader in ultra-luxury cruising. From her streamlined silhouette to her gentle wake, she is a floating boutique hotel that doesn’t need to make noise to make an impact.
🎥 Filmed in real time, this video offers a relaxing, immersive look at the art of departure from one of the world’s most beautiful cruise ports. You’ll see tugs, seaplanes, sailboats, and even reflections dancing on the water — all part of the theatre that is Vancouver Harbour.
