Sicamous was one of three luxury-class liners operated by CPR, which was the main carrier on the lakes, providing freight and passenger connections between Penticton, on the Kettle Valley Railway (the Southern Mainline) and Okanagan Landing (Vernon) for connections to the CPR Mainline at Sicamous via the Shuswap and Okanagan Railway. Smaller launch-sized vessels such as SS Naramata, which is also beached at the same shipyard as Sicamous, provided passenger service to smaller settlements around the lake, as well as excursions for tourists. The other two luxury-class vessels were Aberdeen and Okanagan. The first-class saloon from the top aft deck of Okanagan is also preserved in the park and awaiting funds for restoration
