Large-volume, high-temperature Bose-Einstein condensation is illustrated for a relativistic O(2)-invariant scalar field with fixed charge using the canonical ensemble. The standard, grand canonical results are reproduced for the infinite-volume limit. Finite-volume corrections are calculated in the canonical ensemble and the results are found to differ from the finite-volume grand canonical approximation in a consistent qualitative way.
