Vancouver Getaway Roundtrip from Seattle

Independent 3-day roundtrip rail getaway between Seattle and Vancouver

Illustration of Vancouver Getaway Roundtrip from Seattle

Amtrak Vacations runs this 3-day, 2-night independent getaway between Seattle and Vancouver, using the Amtrak Cascades train in Coach class for a roundtrip rail journey between the two cities. After arriving in Vancouver, travelers spend two nights in the city with a hop-on, hop-off sightseeing tour and included admission to the Vancouver Lookout before the return trip to Seattle by rail. The operator describes Vancouver as a place where ocean and mountains meet, and points to spots such as the Vancouver Aquarium, the Museum of Anthropology, and viewpoints at Cypress Mountain and Whytecliff Park for independent exploration. This suits independent travelers looking for a short, simple rail trip between two Pacific Northwest cities without a fully escorted schedule.
