New facilities for cruise ships opened in 2004. Prince Rupert is becoming an important stop for the Alaska cruises, especially for those ships based in Seattle that have to visit a foreign port on the way to Alaska.

This facility consists of a system of 8 mooring/breasting dolphins with a floating dock mid-ship. The berth is connected to the terminal via a 150 foot, two-part passenger boarding system indexed to tide range to accommodate <10% grade. The 4,000 square foot terminal building accommodates Canada Customs and Immigration operations for foreign arrivals. The terminal accommodates vessels of up to 300 meters (960 ft.) in length and 15 meters (50 ft.) in draft. A 45 meter floating platform provides for ease of passenger transfer from the ship to a 70 meter gangway in constant adjustment to the tide.
