Cruise-style ships haven’t visited Nanaimo Harbour much of late, but one can be seen anchored off Protection Island for the coming weeks.

Satinder Singh, Port of Nanaimo vice-president of operations and harbour master, Nanaimo Port Authority is supporting the MV Isabelle, a 652-cabin luxury floatel that underwent a refit in Europe in 2023 and will have its refit work finished at Seaspan’s North Vancouver shipyard before it takes on its new purpose as workforce housing.
