Independent rail roundtrip from Los Angeles to Vancouver via Seattle

Illustration of Vancouver Ultimate Getaway Roundtrip from Los Angeles

Amtrak Vacations runs this 7-day, 6-night independent rail journey connecting Los Angeles to Vancouver, with a stop in Seattle along the way. The package uses the Amtrak Coast Starlight in Coach class between Los Angeles and Seattle, then Amtrak or thruway service on to Vancouver, with the same route in reverse for the return. Accommodations include 2 nights onboard Amtrak, 1 night in a Seattle hotel, and 3 nights in Vancouver. Once in Vancouver, the operator points to Stanley Park, Queen Elizabeth Park, brunch at Michelin-starred restaurants, afternoon tea at the Sutton Place Hotel, and the towering evergreens of the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park, alongside a hop-on, hop-off sightseeing tour and a harbor cruise. Because two of the six nights are spent onboard the train in Coach seating rather than a hotel or sleeper cabin, this suits independent travelers comfortable with long rail segments and flexible, self-guided days in each city.
