Canada’s Rocky Mountaineer & Alaska Cruise
Overview
The Canadian Rockies, coupled with an Alaskan cruise, must surely rank amongst the very finest scenic and wildlife holidays on earth. Combining Canada, the world’s second largest country, with a cruise to Alaska, the largest state in the US, our tour has been designed to showcase the very best that such an enormous area can offer.
The magnificent Rocky Mountains are Canada’s crowning glory and we stay in Banff, the very heart of the mountains, then travel along the ‘road of steel’ that is the great Trans-Canadian railway, on the incredible Rocky Mountaineer train, crossing high passes, deep ravines and innumerable spectacular bridges. Finally, we arrive in Vancouver which ranks alongside Sydney, Cape Town and San Francisco as one of the world’s most naturally beautiful panoramas.
Our seven-night cruise with Holland America Line to Alaska is available as an extension on all departures. The cruise includes two days at sea sailing the waters of the famed Inside Passage. In Alaska, we visit the historic ports of Skagway and Ketchikan. We spend a whole day cruising the pristine waters of Glacier Bay.
