I suspect they just don't want to sell you the tickets for the one
night cruise. Because there's no prohibition that I can see for not
booking Seattle to Vancouver, if you can do Vancouver to San
Francisco.

The Passenger Services Act says that you can't have a non-USA boat do
coastal cruising in the USA (That is between US ports)
