We got the memo! to our new Luggage Program. 🎉 In addition to the launch of our new Spring Schedule with 6 round-trips from Thursday - Monday, starting March 1 guests can sail with large luggage and select sports gear for an additional fee. ⛴️💨

We have heard you and understand how important this is to better connect you between and downtown , so we’re removing some seating on our vessels to accommodate fully-reservable luggage space.

This means you can connect to YVR and Canada Place cruise ship terminal with the extra luggage needed for your travels! ✈️

How does it work? It's easy– when booking your tickets, you’ll have the option to reserve a spot for your extra belongings too. Space is limited, so be sure to book online in advance.

And don’t forget, you can still bring one carry-on sized bag and a personal item for free! 🙌 Head to hullo.com/luggage for all the details on sizing, pricing, and allowances.

As always, we are grateful you choose to sail Hullo and hope this additional service helps connect you to more possibilities and adventure.

Happy sailing!
