smilejesuslovesu Posted December 2, 2017 #1 Share Posted December 2, 2017 We are planning a cruise and we are taking the train from Vancouver to Seattle but I am not sure how far the train station is from and port and what would be the best way to get there. Thank you in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straitlover Posted December 2, 2017 #2 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Per google maps, it is 3 kilometers, which is 1.86 miles. I'll let others speak as to whether you should cab it or take the metro rail (can't remember the exact name of that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zozizar Posted December 2, 2017 #3 Share Posted December 2, 2017 You could take SkyTrain. There is a station (Science World) a block away from the Amtrak station, then ride it west to Harbour (end of the line). Pier is just a couple blocks from harbor station.

Rare martincath Posted December 2, 2017 #4 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Take a cab unless you have minimal luggage. There's no space for bags on the trains from Main Street, and it's unlawful to block seats or aisles - a $150 fine compares poorly with the ~$12 cab fare (and even if you get away with just bad karma, you don't save much unless you're a solo traveler - it's $2.85pp for SkyTrain, so share a cab with another couple and it's a wash to take a cab, plus no need to walk ~ 4 blocks).

xlxo Posted December 3, 2017 #5 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Keep in mind..... your ship docks around 7am.... the latest you can stay on the ship is around 9:30am you will be on the street at 10am the train does not leave Vancouver for another 7 hours later Best thing to do is unload your luggage at the cruise terminal CDS baggage for a fee ($40?). Go sightseeing (Capilano? Grouse?) Return downtown around 3:30am to get your bags and taxi over to the bus/train terminal. Another option is the Quick Shuttle that can take you from the cruise terminal for a Seattle drop off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
