I’d want to head up the night before - more going on In Vancouver, plus you’d already be there in the morning.

Quick shuttle has a bus from the airport and bolt bus does the route (but I don’t know where they pick up). Amtrak also has an evening train (which is my favorite).

Good luck with your planning.

Cheers,

Other than a car rental, I think D&DM covered all your possible options for travel; while hotels in Bellingham would undoubtedly be cheaper than Vancouver the nightlife is definitely a major step down!

If you want to stay in Bellingham, easiest place to stay would be the Holiday Inn at the airport, it is new and has a very good onsite restaurant and then grab the Quick shuttle at the airport the next day. The Bolt bus leaves from the Cordata bus station 3 miles away, and the Amtrak station is 5 miles away. Amtrak the most relaxing, Bolt the cheapest, Quick the most convienent as that would drop you directly at the cruise port.

Since your plane gets in at 5:00pm, you'd have plenty of time to catch the 9:05pm Amtrak Cascades to Vancouver. You get into Vancouver Pacific Central Station at 11:00pm. There really are a number of options, but I love the train and take it often to both Vancouver and Seattle.

I would book the Quick Shuttle N6 bus that picks up at Bellingham's airport at 8:55pm. It will drop you off downtown Vancouver 10:50pm and onwards to a Downtown hotel.

$30 and no taxi's or additional hotel transfers required

I think the Amtrak train requires you to catch a cab 10 miles south of the airport for the Fairhaven station. Another option is a bus, but that may mean a luggage drag.

I should add depending on when you are travelling.... it may be dark at 9pm. Not much of a view from the train.
