Alaska Yukon cruisetour from US ArriveCAN - Covid test requirements - comments please

[shuyak]

This is a re-post from the Canada (Alaska/Pacific Coastal) ports of call board. 

 

Hope locals/experienced/cruisers on same boat can help with a sanity check (accuracy and completeness) of our understanding below:

 

We will be on a 19 day HAL Vancouver roundtrip cruisetour (3 day NB cruise + 9 day land including Yukon + 7 day SB cruise) + (3 nights before + 1 night after) stay in Vancouver.  The chronological requirements are:

 

ArriveCAN : within 72 hrs arriving YVR

ArriveCAN w/ Covid test : within 72 hrs embarking NB cruise (PCR within 72 hrs or rapid test in 2 days)

ArriveCAN : within 72 hrs of Skagway bus into Yukon (assume HAL will assist/remind)

Covid test : within 1 day rapid test flying from Dawson City to Fairbank (assume HAL will assist)

ArriveCAN : within 72 hrs arriving Vancouver on SB cruise (assume HAL will assist/remind)

Covid test : within 1 day rapid test flying back to US

 

Thanks!

I have no personal experience with this but I think you need the ArriveCan within 72 hrs of boarding SB because of your arrival in CA waters before YVR. Since it is a cruise you may have 96 hrs. One thing that makes me think this is that all cruisers departing SEA had to do ArriveCan prior to boarding in SEA. sightcrr
