Canada & Alaska Tours
Two spectacular itineraries to Canada & Alaska exploring their many highlights
Canada and Alaska are firmly planted as bucket-list adventures in the minds of many. The awe-inspiring Canadian Rockies and their shimmering glacier-fed lakes, unforgettable mountainscapes, alpine forests and world-famous wildlife make for a holiday like no other, and Alaska’s Inside Passage is considered one of the greatest routes to explore. This protected network of waterways offers plenty of opportunities to spot iconic wildlife.
Once in a Lifetime Experiences
Rocky Mountaineer – Be entranced by the scenery of the Canadian Rockies from the comfort of the Rocky Mountaineer with its panoramic windows and viewing areas. Included in our Canadian tours, the journey is renowned for scenic valleys, plentiful wildlife, and majestic Mount Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies.
Step aboard in Jasper, settle into your reclining seat, and let the awe-inspiring scenery of the Rockies unfold. Following a route accessible only by rail, the Rocky Mountaineer passes the magnificent Pyramid Falls and Hell’s Gate, where the Fraser River narrows to a rush of whitewater. After an overnight hotel stay in Kamloops, the Rocky Mountaineer continues its two-day journey, and the scenery slowly changes to rolling hills and fertile farmlands before arriving in Vancouver.
Alaskan Cruise – Embark on a breathtaking voyage and discover wildlife-filled fjords, tidewater glaciers and rich island scenery from the comfort of Holland America Line’s Pinnacle Class ship, the Koningsdam. With its light-filled spaces, and a blend of 21st-century elegance and nautical tradition, the ship is a wonderful home during your Alaskan adventure. Sophisticated yet casual, Koningsdam is a stylish haven after a busy day ashore, with abundant dining and entertainment options to enjoy before retiring to the comfort of your stateroom.
Our seven-night cruise departs Vancouver, visiting historic ports like Juneau, Alaska’s remote capital; Skagway, a former gold rush hub; and Ketchikan, steeped in Native Alaskan heritage. We also cruise through the stunning Inside Passage and Glacier Bay, making this voyage an unforgettable tour highlight.
So Much Included
From start to finish, our Canada & Alaska escorted tours are meticulously planned and offer exceptional value. We include return international flights from the UK, overseas transfers and transport in modern air-conditioned coaches, deluxe hotels in great locations, many meals including daily breakfast, and entrance fees to the many incredible places and monuments you will visit, all with an experienced Tour Manager or local guide.
And if you’re not ready for the adventure to end, you can extend your holiday with an extension to the breathtaking Knight Inlet – the perfect finale to your Canadian & Alaskan holiday.
