Post disembarkation Vancouver query

[Aussiepommie]

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

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).

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.

Thanks for your help and confirmation xixo and cruiseryyc. Kamloops here we come! Used to packing light on our trips- fortunately we can leave some luggage with the motorcycle company !

You should be off eh ship no later than 9:00 - 9:30. I have no idea how far it is to Kamloops, but if it is not too far it should be no problem.
