Canada and Alaska Trip Overview
This special Canada tour and Alaska cruise package is simply spectacular!
Fly from Australia to Vancouver, where you’ll have time to discover the cultural city’s top attractions.
Then join the Canadian Rockies coach tour and ascend the Coastal Mountains and travel to the interior of British Columbia. Overnight in Jasper and then travel along the breathtaking Icefields Parkway to take in spectacular mountain scenery. Enjoy two nights in the famous resort town of Banff, with a day trip to Lake Louise and picturesque Moraine Lake.
Return to Vancouver, where you’ll board the 7-night cruise aboard Ruby Princess. Witness amazing views and wildlife as you sail through the magical Inside Passage to Junea, Alaska’s remote capital. Then dock at Skagway, the small town that’s big on adventure with options to go hiking, kayaking, wildlife watching or travel by train to White Pass.
A highlight will be the scenic cruising in Glacier Bay National Park. The number of ships allowed in the bay is capped each day to preserve the region and the upside is also a breathtaking experience for passengers as you get up close to the mammoth rivers of ice. Sail past evergreen-clad cliffs and floating frozen “bergy bits” on this stunning voyage. Final stop before returning to Vancouver is a beauty, in the culturally-rich town of Ketchikan with its towering totem parks and fun lumberjack show.
With return international flights, escorted touring, cruising with meals and more, don’t miss your chance to see the Canada and the USA’s most remarkable landscapes in one unbeatable package!
