Confused about cruising and Canadian ETA

Our take

Are you navigating the exciting world of cruising while wondering about your entry requirements into Canada? As a Filipino citizen with a U.S. tourist visa and an Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) for Canada, you're in a unique situation. You’re flying into Vancouver and embarking on a one-way Princess Cruise to Anchorage, Alaska, without returning to Canada. Your key questions are whether you need a Canadian visitor visa and if your U.S. tourist visa and Canadian ETA will suffice for boarding the cruise ship.

Hello, I am a Filipino citizen with a USA tourist visa and an ETA (Electronic Travel Authority)for Canada since I am eligible for that program. This is my situation: I am entering Vancouver by air but leaving canada by boarding Princess Cruises one-way northbound to Anchorage, Alaska and I am NOT GOING BACK TO CANADA since I will be exiting BY AIR in Anchorage, Alaska to Los Angeles, California.

Question is:

1) Do I still need a Canadian visitor visa even if I am no longer returning to Canada? Again, my cruise is a one-way cruise.

2) Will I be able to embark the cruise ship in Canada that's leaving Canada to Alaska (US) with only my US tourist visa and Canadian ETA?
