There's a quirk regarding the crew when originating from a US port and continuing to other US ports. Then the boat has to have a US crew. For that reason, most of the cruises leave from Canada and they are typically cheaper because of the foreign crew.
I think what you’re referring to is why all the Alaskan cruises will stop for a few hours somewhere in Canada (Victoria or Vancouver). I think it has to do with labor laws or something, and it’s favorable for the cruise line to hit one international port.

I believe it's part of the Jones Act.
