The Christmas Lights & Karaoke Trolley Tour mixes festive sightseeing with onboard sing-alongs, guiding passengers through some of the city’s busiest and brightest holiday spots.
Riders board at Canada Place for a 6:30 p.m. departure, settling in for a 3.5-hour loop that highlights the city’s December glow.
The tour weaves past the Vancouver Christmas Market, where crowds gather over warm drinks and treats, before rolling through Robson and Burrard. Storefronts and street decorations illuminate the route, with St. Paul’s “Lights of Hope” shining just up the block. Stanley Park adds another backdrop of holiday lights as the trolley moves toward the West End.

An optional stop at VanDusen Garden offers a deeper dive into holiday displays, a chance to step off the trolley and take in the garden’s well-known seasonal installations. Those who add the garden visit return to Canada Place around 9:30 p.m.; others finish around 8:30 p.m.
The West End portion of the tour includes Denman and English Bay, where shoreline lights, decorated trees, and winter reflections set a quieter tone before the final leg back downtown.
