Do UK residents need a Canadian eTA for an Alaskan cruise?

Going on The Pearl next July and visiting Victoria. Do we need a visa?

 

Conflicting views online.

 

Thanks

If the cruise leaves from Canada you need an eTA to get into Canada from UK. Check with your travel agent or check the Canada immigration site. Also check to US site too.

Sorry, leaves from Seattle but visits Canada.

Hello. If your cruise starts in Canada all travellers require an ETA with the exception of Permanent Resident Card Holders, US Citizens, and those Citizens from those countries that require a Temporary Resident VISA (Tourist Visa or Family Visa). If your cruise starts in the US and you enter Canada by land or sea you do not need an ETA, just a passport.

No - you don't.

You only need a Canadian ETA if arriving by air

I did an Alaskan cruise (albeit with Celebrity not NCL) in May/June this year after the new laws came into force

You absolutely do not need a Canadian ETA if you are doing a round trip from Seattle taking in a Canadian port

End of!!!

Thanks to the last two posters. I knew I'd get a definite answer here.
