check Norwegian cruise line. i'm booked on a 3 night cruise with them that goes from LA to Vancouver, so they might do the same route in reverse as well.

are you looking for something that starts AND finishes in vancouver?

I've seen 3 nights Vancouver - Victoria - Seattle, and I thought there were shorter trips also. Try contacting these people - they would keep track of that sort of thing:

In fact, they have a four day cruise with Princess listed. I tried to post the link here, but it's too long, but if you use their search box on the website, you should be able to find it.

Look up Pacific Coastal Cruise on the internet and you should be able to find a bunch. Usually around September or May.

When and where do you want to go? We did a 4-night cruise last year, Vancouver-Port Angeles-Seattle-Victoria-Vancouver - it was a lot of fun and for once I didn't get seasick!

Jubilee Travel has a number of cruises on their website that might suit you - notably a 5-night Mother's Day cruise in May 2009. They also have a 3-night cruise in September from Seattle-Vancouver with the option of shuttle to Seattle before departure.

Another one on their website is September 28: 5 nights cruise & stay to Anaheim, including air, 3 night cruise and 2 nights hotel in Anaheim.

normally you will find the shorter cruises before and slightly after the main cruise season. April may, and sept oct would be good times to look. Also look for repositioning cruises.

Vancouverite67 check out tinyurl.com to shorten those long links to something you can post. Works like a charm.

Anyway, lots of good info already provided. You'll find some options for short cruises up and down the west coast.

Thanks Wanderer! I'll do that. :>

Tiny url - VERY COOL - thanks for the link.

That is perfect for posting a link to my trip pictures on the web, without everyone being able to figure out how to get into my page.

Thanks again.

We are taking a three-night cruise on Holland America cruiseline - Seattle to Vancouver. Celebrity also has cruises ... most of the major cruiselines that cruise Alaska have short cruises around the Seattle/Victoria/Vancouver areas in the spring and fall -- when the ships are being relocated to Mexico and other destinations.
