Fantastic World Escorted Tour Offers

Canada's Rocky Mountaineer & Alaska Cruise

Nine days from only £1,699. Sixteen days from only £2,499.  Selected departures up to September 2011

The Canadian Rockies, coupled with an Alaskan cruise, must surely rank amongst the very finest scenic and wildlife holidays on earth! Combining Canada, the world’s second largest country, with a cruise to Alaska, the largest state in the US, our tour has been designed to showcase the very best that such an enormous area can offer. 

We stay in Banff, the very heart of the mountains then travel along the monument to man’s engineering prowess, the ‘road of steel’ that is the great Trans-Canadian railway, on the incredible Rocky Mountaineer train. 

Finally, we arrive in Vancouver, nestling beside the immense majesty of the Pacific Ocean, which ranks alongside Sydney, Cape Town andSan Francisco as one of the world’s most naturally beautiful panoramas. With its gleaming glass skyscrapers reflected in the azure-blue ocean, Canada’s third-largest city is a fascinating and cosmopolitan metropolis encircled by water and mountains. Our seven-night cruise with Holland America Line to Alaska is available as an extension to the tour on almost all departures.

The cruise includes two days at sea sailing the calm, sheltered waters of the famed Inside Passage. In Alaska, we visit historic ports of Skagway and Ketchikan, where the prospectors of the 1890’s Klondike gold rush took their first steps towards riches or heartache! On board you will enjoy unparalleled service and extraordinary sights coupled with exciting and unique experiences via the many shore excursions on offer.

  • Return, direct, scheduled flights from London Gatwick and connections from Manchester
