Seattle and Victoria Ultimate Getaway

Independent Seattle and Victoria getaway linked by ferry, rail booked separately

Illustration of Seattle and Victoria Ultimate Getaway

Amtrak Vacations runs this five-day, four-night independent getaway pairing Seattle with Victoria, British Columbia, connected by a roundtrip ferry rather than a second train ride. Travelers arrive in Seattle and explore its top sights on their own schedule, using an included hop-on-hop-off pass, seasonal from May through October, and admission to the Space Needle for 360-degree views of the city. A ferry then carries travelers to Victoria for two nights, where the highlight is admission to the Butchart Gardens, before the ferry returns to Seattle. Because this is a getaway rather than an escorted tour, there is no tour director accompanying the trip, and the operator does not publish a day-by-day schedule. It suits independent travelers who want a short Pacific Northwest break built around two cities, and who are comfortable booking their own rail travel to and from Seattle separately, since the quoted price excludes it.

What to know before you look closer

  • The from-price covers the package; the rail fare is booked separately.
  • Rail transportation is not included in the $1,099 from-price; you book your own train fare to and from Seattle separately.
  • The operator publishes no day-by-day itinerary for this package; the description's 'two-nights exploring' Victoria and the four-night total imply roughly two nights in each city, but that split is not stated as a fixed schedule.
  • The Seattle hop-on-hop-off tour operates only seasonally, from May to October; confirm what is substituted outside that window.
  • No hotel name or star rating is given, so the specific properties in Seattle and Victoria are unknown until booking.
