From the moment you begin this remarkable journey through Canada and Alaska, prepare to be astounded. Towering peaks, ancient glaciers, and landscapes that stretch further than the eye can see set the scene for one of the world’s truly great touring routes. Gaze at the dramatic mountains as you make your way through the wildlife-rich National Parks of Banff and Jasper and stand before the glacial Lake Louise. Here you will stay in impressive Chateau and lodge-style accommodation. Relax and enjoy the spectacular scenery on board the world-famous Rocky Mountaineer train. The journey recaptures the romance of rail travel, as it follows historic train routes. Watch for bears, elk, and eagles as the train winds through river valleys and beneath towering forests at a pace of travel that lets the landscape sink in. Wander picturesque cities perched on tranquil harbours in Vancouver and Victoria as well as the famous “village stroll” in Whistler. Next journey through Alaska, still a great frontier land full of highlights to discover during your cruise. Sail through the Inside Passage and into mighty fjords carved by glaciers, where humpback whales may surface alongside the ship and vast icefields stretch to the horizon.
