ARC Gloria Tall Ship Arrives in Vancouver! 🇨🇴⛵ Tug Welcomes her to Vancouver Harbour with spins!

A spectacular arrival in Vancouver Harbour! The stunning ARC Gloria, Colombia’s national tall ship, arrived under clear skies and calm seas — and what a welcome she received. This short reel captures the excitement as she enters Vancouver for her highly anticipated visit, marking one of the most beautiful and symbolic arrivals of the year. The ARC Gloria is a sailing training ship of the Colombian Navy, renowned around the world for her tall masts, brilliant white sails, and proud display of Colombia’s national colours. Her arrival is always a showstopper — and Vancouver was treated to something truly special today. As she entered the harbour, a local tugboat was already waiting to greet her, performing spinning donuts on the water in a joyful maritime salute. The harbour was alive with sound and colour: the tug’s engines roaring as it circled in tight formation, water shimmering in the sunlight, and the ARC Gloria gliding in with her crew standing proudly at attention. For a moment, Vancouver Harbour was transformed into a scene that looked straight out of a maritime festival — the modern and the traditional meeting in perfect harmony. Built in 1968, the ARC Gloria is not just a ship — she’s a floating symbol of Colombia’s maritime heritage and international friendship. Her presence in Vancouver marks an opportunity for locals and visitors to see one of the most iconic sailing vessels in the world up close. During her stay, she’s docked in North Vancouver, open for public viewing and tours until Saturday — an experience not to be missed for ship lovers, photographers, and anyone captivated by the art and history of sailing. In this short reel, you can see the ARC Gloria making her graceful entrance into the harbour, framed by Vancouver’s skyline and the North Shore Mountains. The scene unfolds like a painting — the sun catching her rigging, the tug circling in welcome, and the reflections of the city dancing across the water. A rare sight and a true reminder of Vancouver’s global maritime connection. If you’re in the area, head to North Vancouver’s waterfront this week to see her in person — she’s one of the most beautiful tall ships ever built and still sails proudly under her nation’s flag. This is the same harbour that welcomes cruise ships like the Coral Princess, Norwegian Sun, and Anthem of the Seas — but today, the spotlight belongs to this magnificent tall ship and her spirited welcome. Don’t miss this glimpse into living maritime history — Vancouver at its finest, where tradition, beauty, and community all meet on the water. #ARCGloria #TallShip #VancouverHarbour #TallShipArrival #ColombianNavy #VancouverMaritime #VancouverCityViews #VancouverBC #NorthVancouver #CanadaPlace #CruiseVancouver #VancouverWaterfront #VancouverLiveStream #SailingShip #HarbourViews #ExploreBC #BeautifulBritishColumbia #VisitVancouver #VancouverEvents #VancouverTourism #WestCoastCanada #PacificNorthwest #VancouverSkyline #VancouverPhotography #VancouverShipSpotting #VancouverMarineLife
