Arrive in Vancouver for two nights and enjoy guided sightseeing including Stanley Park, Chinatown, and more. Then board the Rocky Mountaineer Train for a 2-day trip following the Fraser River through canyons to Kamloops. Travel through the Selkirk Mountains then enter Yoho National Park with its towering peaks. Wind through the Spiral Tunnels before your train climbs Kicking Horse Pass then crosses the Continental Divide and enters Alberta and Banff National Park.
Spend two nights in Banff with time to hike, play golf, horseback ride or relax at the hot springs. Visit gorgeous Lake Louise, its turquoise waters perfectly reflecting the surrounding mountains and glaciers. Travel the stunning Icefields Parkway and take a ride on the Ice Explorer all-terrain vehicle over the 750-foot-thick ice! Travel through magnificent Jasper National Park and arrive at the base of 12,972-foot Mount Robson on your way to the resort town of Sun Peaks.

Follow the coast through spectacular waterways to watch for orcas, whales, otters, and eagles. Dock in Juneau on the Gastineau Channel and visit the Alaskan capital’s rustic shops in town. Next port is Skagway, with its history of tough prospectors who passed through on their way to find Gold in the Yukon. Visit Skagway’s Trail of ’98 Museum for a glimpse into the Klondike Gold Rush of the 1800s. Cruise on to Glacier Bay, which has more actively calving tidewater glaciers than anywhere in the world.
