Your adventure begins at the Calgary Stampede, “The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth.” This celebration of the Old West brings frontier traditions to life with entertainment and exhibits, great food, world-famous Chuckwagon Races, and the Calgary Stampede Rodeo.
Continue to Banff National Park, stunning Lake Louise, and the Icefields Parkway, where you’ll ride the all-terrain Ice Explorer onto the Athabasca Glacier before traveling to the dramatic landscapes of Jasper National Park.
Then experience a two-day, all-daylight rail journey aboard the Rocky Mountaineer from Jasper to Vancouver. Pass Mount Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies, wild rivers, mountain ranges, and the Hell’s Gate rapids on the Fraser River.
See Stanley Park and other highlights in Vancouver before crossing by ferry through the Gulf Islands to Victoria on Vancouver Island. Visit beautiful Butchart Gardens, then enjoy free time to explore Victoria before returning by ferry across the Strait of Georgia to Vancouver to board your Alaska cruise.
Cruise the spectacular Inside Passage, watching for whales, bald eagles, seals, and other wildlife. Marvel at Alaska’s glaciers and, if conditions allow, witness the dramatic spectacle of ice calving into the sea. This value-minded combination of the Calgary Stampede, the Canadian Rockies, and an Alaska cruise is an unforgettable vacation!
