Canada & Alaska trip overview
Begin with flights to Calgary, where you’ll be transferred to enjoy 2-night stay in Banff. In the famous resort town in the heart of the Rockies, you’ll have time to explore at your leisure.
Next, it’s time to board the magnificent Rocky Mountaineer for a rail experience unlike any other. The train journey offers a spectacular range of scenery as you travel between the high peaks of the Canadian Rockies, over mountain passes and through remarkable tunnels, along rocky lakeshores and across the ranchlands of the interior. Overnight in Kamloops and continue west towards the Pacific, as the train winds through river canyons, pristine forests and lush green valleys.
After stopping in Vancouver for two nights to experience the vibrant city, board the 7-night cruise aboard Holland America Line’s Koningsdam.
Witness amazing views and wildlife as you sail through Alaska’s magical Inside Passage. Cruise to Alaska’s remote capital of Juneau. Other ports include Skagway and the culturally-rich town of Ketchikan. Sail into Glacier Bay National Park to witness a spectacle that few get to see, with the dramatic glaciers, evergreen-clad cliffs dotted with local wildlife and frozen “bergy bits” floating on the deep emerald waters.
With the magical Rocky Mountaineer Railway, a luxurious cruise, many meals, hotel accommodation and flights, this is an unbeatable Canada and USA package that you won’t want to miss!
