Canadian Rockies Rail Tour and Alaska Wildlife Cruise - 0001273

See the natural wonders of the Canadian Rockies and explore wildlife and the glacial coastlines of Alaska on this amazing tour departing from the UK. This fantastic holiday gives you the chance to admire a host of Canada’s most mesmerising sights and to take two thrilling journeys by both rail and sea. Begin your explorations in the awe-inspiring Banff National Park, home to snow-capped peaks, sparkling lakes and impressive wildlife. Then discover Lake Louise, often described as one of the most beautiful places in Canada. Vancouver is next, via a two-day journey aboard the iconic Rocky Mountaineer train. Take in sublime views as you travel along Kicking Horse Pass and through the dramatic canyons of the Fraser River. Soak up Vancouver’s stunning setting before the next leg of your journey – a spectacular seven-night Alaskan cruise. As you sail along this scenic coastal landscape, watch for wildlife from the deck including whales, eagles, seals and grizzly bears. Step ashore in Alaska’s capital, Juneau, and in Skagway, a lively relic of the Klondike Gold Rush. With an extra two nights in the beautiful city of Vancouver perhaps hire a bike and explore Stanley Park, visit Granville Market or enjoy one of the newer attractions in Vancouver – FlyOver Canada – a virtual ride in Canada Place.
