Quick Shuttle. It goes right to the pier and with the one day cruises they fill up at the pier so its direct to the border. By far the easiest. www.quickcoach.com

https://www.boltbus.com the earlier you book the cheaper the tickets are. We did the Seattle to Vancouver cruise last year and took the Bolt bus Vancouver to Seattle before the cruise. I've taken the quick coach before too. Bolt bus has more leg room than quick coach

We rented from Enterprise as they pick you up, they picked us up at the pier - took us to the rental office and then we drove the car back to Canada. We have 2 kids too so it worked out about $100, and we could grab groceries then also.

Quick Shuttle UsuallycouponinEntertainment Book. Goes from/to YVR-Cloverdale- Bellingham Airport-Seatac. Occasionally you can get a rental car that needs to be returned to US or Canada. We did that one time for a vehicle in Canada that needed to go back to US. Paid $35.

Best Ways to Return from Seattle to Vancouver After a 1-Day Repositioning Cruise

After a wonderful day of cruising, you may wonder what the best way to return from Seattle to Vancouver is. Here are a few options to consider:

1. Ferry

The Victoria Clipper is a high-speed catamaran that takes you from downtown Seattle to downtown Victoria in about 2 hours and 45 minutes. From Victoria, you can take a bus to Vancouver, which takes about 3 hours and 30 minutes. The total travel time is about 6 hours and 15 minutes, and the cost is around $100.

2. Train

Amtrak offers direct service from Seattle to Vancouver. The train ride takes about 4 hours and 30 minutes, and the cost is around $60.

3. Bus

BoltBus offers direct service from Seattle to Vancouver. The bus ride takes about 4 hours and 30 minutes, and the cost is around $40.

4. Drive

If you have a car, you can drive from Seattle to Vancouver in about 2 hours and 30 minutes. The cost of gas will vary depending on the current price of gas.

Which Option is Best?

The best way to return to Vancouver from Seattle after a 1-day repositioning cruise depends on the time you have available, your budget, and your preference for transportation. If you want to get back to Vancouver quickly and are willing to pay a bit more, the ferry is a good option. If you want to save money, the bus is a good choice. And if you want to drive, that is also an option, but it will take longer than the other options.

Tips

* If you are taking the ferry, book your tickets in advance, especially if you are traveling during peak season.
