Your Example Itinerary
Day 1
Fly from the UK to Calgary.
Day 2
Banff
Leaving Calgary behind, you’ll set off on a full-day tour, starting in Kananaskis. En route to Banff, you’ll call in at Bow Falls, Lake Minnewanka and the Hoodoos, before riding the Banff Gondola to the summit of Sulphur Mountain. This exciting ascent takes just eight minutes, and once at the top, there’s an option for a short walk around the summit ridge. Look out for bighorn sheep!
Day 3
Lake Louise
From Banff, join a half-day tour of the natural wonders of Yoho National Park, including the Spiral Tunnels, Kicking Horse River and Emerald Lake. You’ll finish in beautiful Lake Louise, where you’ll have a free afternoon to explore. Perhaps hire a canoe or take a walk around the spectacularly blue Moraine Lake or soak up the views at Lake Louise itself from the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise hotel, which looks like it’s been plucked straight from a fairytale.
Days 4-5
Jasper
Spend the day touring the sights and sounds of Banff and Jasper National Parks along the picturesque Icefields Parkway. You’ll even get to travel onto the creeping Athabasca Glacier in a specially-designed Ice Explorer, a 6-wheel drive vehicle that looks not unlike a Monster Truck. Top sights include the beautiful Bow Lake, glistening beneath the mountains, and the Columbia Icefield. The next day, you’ll explore the mountain wilderness of Jasper National Park.
Days 6-7
Onboard the Rocky Mountaineer
Get ready for the ride of your life as you board the iconic Rocky Mountaineer train. Travel from Jasper to Vancouver via Kamloops and watch the dramatic scenery of the Cariboo Mountains pass by as you journey along the North Thompson River. After a night in Kamloops, continue on the train to Vancouver via dense forests and jagged rock formations, and enjoy dazzling views of lake shores, mountain peaks and winding canyons.
Days 9-16
Alaska cruise onboard Celebrity Summit
At the Vancouver cruise terminal, hop onboard the Celebrity Summit cruise ship. Bound for Alaska, this ship is your home for the next seven days. Cruise the Inside Passage to Juneau, where you’ll explore the Mendenhall Glacier and the Juneau Icefields. Choose to spend your time rafting, kayaking, fishing or flying over the area, before continuing to Skagway and Glacier Bay National Park. At Ketchikan, you can visit the Tongass Historical Museum and Totem Bight State Park, before returning to Vancouver once more. Don’t forget to look out for whales.
Days 8-9
Vancouver
Spend a night at leisure in Vancouver before you set sail for Alaska.
Day 16
Return to Vancouver and depart for the UK.
