Overview
Across eighteen days from Vancouver and back again, you’ll travel through the Canadian Rockies with snowcapped peaks rising above you and glacier-fed lakes glowing emerald green beneath them. Choose how you want to experience the landscape, from guided hikes and food tours to white water rafting, with cold river water racing between the mountains. In Banff, a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience takes you into the boreal forest for a Plant Medicine Walk with a First Nations Local Specialist. Then board Rocky Mountaineer for the journey towards Vancouver, with pine-covered slopes, river valleys and miles of wilderness passing beyond the glass, before sailing into Alaska’s Inside Passage, where deep fjords, blue-white glaciers and Gold Rush towns line the route.
Iconic Experience
- Vancouver: Vancouver's historic neighbourhoods spring to life on a tour with your Travel Director. Admire the Victorian facades, cobblestone streets and charming lighting of Gastown as you make your way to the leafy sanctuary of Stanley Park.
- Victoria: Victoria. A waterfront city of historic sites known for its gardens and British influence. View the Parliament Buildings erected in 1897 with beautiful gardens. Then explore on your own, strolling along the Inner Harbour where you will have the chance to watch street buskers perform or venturing to Victoria's unique shopping areas in Market Square.
- Mount Robson: Mount Robson, one of the world's crown jewels awaits. Admire one of the finest views in the Rocky Mountains of this UNESCO-listed icon which is also the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies at 12,972 feet. Not only will you bask in a view of Mount Robson but learn from your Travel Director why it's the most prominent mount in North America's Rocky Mountain Range.
- Icefields Parkway: Unlock the Canadian Rockies' pristine wilderness on one of the most scenic drives in North America – the Icefield Parkway. This stretch of double-lane highway from Jasper to Lake Louise winds along the Continental Divide through rocky mountain peaks, rock spires, waterfalls, icefields, valleys and more than 100 ancient glaciers. Snap a pic at a viewpoint to capture the beauty.
- Columbia Icefield: Gear up for a Columbia Icefield Adventure. Board a massive, specially designed ‘Ice Explorer’ to view one of the largest non-polar ice fields in the world, the Athabasca Glacier. Stop at the best spot to walk on, feel and drink from the Glacier. What better way to appreciate this natural wonder? You’ll even enhance your visit learning about the Columbia Icefield, how the glacier has changed and the thrill of driving up the moraine deposits to reach the glacier.
- Departing Banff, you’ll spend two days travelling through the Canadian Rockies and British Columbia by luxury rail. Cross the Continental Divide and wind through the Spiral Tunnels before an overnight stop in Kamloops, then follow river gorges and lake country as the journey continues towards Vancouver.
- Board your premium cruise liner and spend the week cruising calm coastal waters, majestic fjords and massive glaciers. With stops in Juneau, Skagway and Ketchikan and plenty of opportunities to spot whales, orcas, bears and salmon, you’ll have every opportunity to admire Alaska's wild beauty.
