“More than half way into this year’s cruise season, we’re proud to have the cruise industry standing behind our fully accredited COVID-19 testing solutions in Vancouver. I’m grateful and proud of our entire team who continually deliver excellent, reliable, and convenient testing solutions. The feedback from cruise line companies and their passengers has been very positive throughout the season. We remain ready to serve for the rest of the season and anticipate continued strong volumes for August and September.”

While the cruise season in Vancouver runs until November, the peak season runs from July to October based on cruise schedules managed by the Port of Vancouver.

With several ships carrying more than 4000 people, the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority expects more than 300 cruise ship calls for the 2022 season – a nearly eight per cent increase from 288 calls in pre-pandemic 2019.

All of Empower’s COVID-19 testing solutions are fully accredited by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia’s Diagnostic Accreditation Program (DAP).

Passengers can visit www.empowerclinics.com/covid-19-testing to book COVID-19 testing solutions that include virtual (telehealth) or in-person Rapid Antigen / Rapid PCR (RT-Lamp) testing at a site at Fairmont Waterfront Hotel – adjacent to the port terminal at Canada Place in Vancouver.
