Aussiepommie Posted May 13, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 13, 2015 We are on our first cruise so need help from more experienced cruisers! We are booked on a round trip Alaskan trip from Vancouver on infinity next year. Following this we are hiring a motorbike for 11 days to tour the a Rockies. How long does disembarkation take arriving Vancouver 7am? Is it realistic to pick up the bike that morning and ride to Kamloops? We will have stayed in Vancouver pre cruise and post bike tour. We therefore don't want to stay the night in Vancouver disembarkation night if possible. Thanks in advance Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseryyc Posted May 13, 2015 #2 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I think it is quite realistic to reach Kamloops by late afternoon/early evening; especially if you take the Coquihalla highway (highway 5 out of Hope). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance Sue disembarkation is relatively quick.... 7am dock 7:30am first walk offs, 8am you should be ready to go otherwise sleep in, have breakfast and then leave around 10am at the latest Post-cruise bike tour? I assume you have a support vehicle with all that luggage planned. Vancouver to Kamloops is about 4hrs. Longer with breaks. Vancouver to Banff is about 9hrs. Likely longer with breaks and food stops.

I have no idea how far it is to Kamloops, but if it is not too far it should be no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
