Get closer to the extraordinary: Canada & Alaska

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. Alaska’s Inside Passage is considered one of the world’s greatest routes to explore, a protected network of waterways that offer plenty of opportunities to spot iconic wildlife.

Here are just a few of the extraordinary experiences you can expect on these tours.

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 Grand Canadian Rockies 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.
