National Parks of the Northwest US & Canadian Rockies with Alaska Cruise

25 days from Salt Lake City to Vancouver
Discover six of North America's most celebrated national parks before setting sail on a 7-night Alaska cruise. This journey combines the geothermal wonders of Yellowstone, the soaring peaks of Grand Teton, the glacier-carved landscapes of Glacier National Park, and the spectacular scenery of the Canadian Rockies with an unforgettable voyage through Alaska's famed Inside Passage.

Explore the wildlife and dramatic mountain scenery of Grand Teton National Park before discovering the geysers, colorful hot springs, and geothermal features of Yellowstone National Park. Continue to Glacier National Park for a ride aboard a historic Red Jammer Bus along the Going-to-the-Sun Road, then cross into Canada to experience the lakes, peaks, and wildlife of Waterton Lakes National Park.

Travel deeper into the Canadian Rockies with stays in Banff National Park and Jasper National Park. Visit the turquoise waters of Lake Louise and ride the Ice Explorer onto the ancient Athabasca Glacier at the Columbia Icefield for an up-close look at one of the largest icefields in the Canadian Rockies.

Cross the Strait of Georgia by ferry to Victoria, where you'll have time to explore the city's British heritage and visit the world-famous Butchart Gardens before continuing to Vancouver.

Your adventure concludes with a 7-night Alaska cruise aboard Holland America's MS Koningsdam or MS Zaandam, complete with the Have It All Premium Cruise Package. Sail the scenic Inside Passage while watching for whales and other marine wildlife, visit the historic Gold Rush town of Skagway, and cruise through breathtaking Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, where towering tidewater glaciers and snow-capped mountains create one of Alaska's most spectacular landscapes.
