Cruise Itinerary: Vancouver • Hubbard Glacier • Sitka • Skagway • Juneau • Ketchikan • Vancouver

This unforgettable journey showcases the very best of Alaska and the Canadian Rockies, combining a spectacular cruise, an iconic rail adventure and stays in two of Western Canada's most celebrated destinations.

Your holiday begins with a two-night stay in vibrant Vancouver, where you can soak up the atmosphere of this beautiful Pacific Coast city before boarding Discovery Princess for an extraordinary nine-night Alaska cruise. You'll sail in a balcony cabin, widely regarded as the best way to experience Alaska's breathtaking scenery. From the comfort of your own private outdoor space, watch for soaring eagles, whales and seals as glaciers and snow-capped mountains glide past, offering a front-row seat to one of the world's most spectacular natural environments.

As Discovery Princess sails north, you'll visit the colourful frontier towns of Skagway, Juneau and Ketchikan while enjoying scenic cruising through both Hubbard Glacier and the magnificent Glacier Bay National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Towering glaciers, pristine wilderness and dramatic fjords create unforgettable views at every turn, making this one of Alaska's most sought-after cruise itineraries.

Returning to Vancouver, you'll enjoy a further two nights in the heart of the city, giving you time to discover its many highlights. Explore historic Gastown, wander through vibrant Chinatown, relax amongst the natural beauty of Stanley Park or enjoy the city's renowned restaurants and waterfront atmosphere. With a Hop-On Hop-Off sightseeing pass included, it's easy to experience Vancouver at your own pace.

The adventure continues as you board the world-famous Rocky Mountaineer for a two-day rail journey on the iconic First Passage to the West route. Travelling in luxurious GoldLeaf Service, you'll enjoy panoramic views from the bi-level glass-domed coach as the train winds through spectacular mountain scenery, dramatic river valleys and rugged canyons. Gourmet cuisine, exceptional service and access to an exclusive outdoor viewing platform ensure the journey is every bit as memorable as the destinations themselves. An overnight hotel stay in Kamloops means you can relax in comfort while enjoying every moment of the breathtaking scenery.

Arriving in Banff, you'll spend three nights in the heart of Banff National Park, Canada's first national park and part of the UNESCO-listed Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks. Surrounded by soaring peaks, emerald forests and glacier-fed lakes, Banff provides the perfect finale to your Canadian adventure. Ride the Banff Gondola for incredible panoramic views across the Rockies, explore the charming mountain town and visit the world-famous Lake Louise, whose turquoise waters and stunning alpine setting have made it one of Canada's most iconic natural attractions.

Combining a balcony cabin Alaska cruise aboard Discovery Princess, the award-winning Rocky Mountaineer in GoldLeaf Service and the spectacular beauty of Banff National Park, this incredible multi-centre holiday offers the ultimate way to experience the very best of Alaska and the Canadian Rockies in one unforgettable journey.
