Vancouver - Train/Boat Excursion / MV Britannia and the Royal Hudson

In summer the excursion to Squamish (Wed.-Sun.) aboard the MV "Britannia" or the "Royal Hudson" (an old steam train) is immensely popular. It takes the same time (71/2 hours) by ship or train and passengers can sample both forms of transport by switching for the return journey.

The Royal Hudson is former CPR locomotive that was used in 1939 to pull a train carry King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, thus giving the train its name.

The MV Britannia carries up to 500 passengers and offers a variety of entertainment options on board. There are dining cruises, special events cruises, or the ship may be chartered for special events. The MV Britannia has been fully renovated.
