The season began on April 10 with a visit by Holland America Line’s Nieuw Amsterdam. At the start of the season, the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority projected that Ogden Point would receive 335 cruise ship calls during 2026.
The harbour authority also recorded six inaugural calls over the season, including visits by ships operated by Virgin Voyages and MSC Cruises.
