The Canadian Rockies With Alaska Cruise

Sunday 18th May - Monday 2nd June 2025

Overview

Step onboard the iconic Rocky Mountaineer train as you journey into the very heart of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. This awe-inspiring experience is paired with an Alaskan Inside Passage cruise, where you sail among towering glaciers onboard Holland America’s ‘Koningsdam’ ship.

Your adventure begins in Calgary, Canada with a morning drive to explore the turquoise Lake Louise and the breathtaking mountainscapes of Banff. Set off on one of the world’s most beautiful road trips as you journey along the Icefields Parkway, through Jasper National Park, towards the Columbia Icefield. Admire jaw-dropping scenery, cascading waterfalls and sweeping valleys with views of Crowfoot Glacier, Bow Summit and Mistaya Canyon.

Return to Banff to board the Rocky Mountaineer train, delight in SilverLeaf service which offers panoramic views, all meals onboard, beverages and more. You’ll wind through mountain passes, lush forests, the remarkable Spiral tunnels and rocky lakeshores. As you travel through these remote regions to Kamloops, keep an eye out for wildlife including the elusive bear, moose, deer and coyote.

Explore the highlights of Vancouver on a full day of leisure before you board Holland America’s ‘Koningsdam’ ship to cruise Alaska’s famous Inside Passage. Experience stunning wildlife and glacial fjords framed by snow-capped mountains as you cruise to Glacier Bay’s National Park and beyond. Admire the twin Sawyer Glaciers in Tracy Arm Inlet and listen to the creaks and groans of the centuries-old ‘living’ ice in Glacier Bay. Encounter historic Tlingit totems and artistic works in Ketchikan, step back to Skagway’s gold rush days and visit Juneau, Alaska’s remote capital city. Watch for humpback whales and playful orca as you return to Vancouver through the protected waters of Alaska’s Inside Passage.

This incredible journey includes return international full-service flights, 2 days onboard the Rocky Mountaineer train in SilverLeaf Service, a 7-night Alaska Inside Passage Cruise with Holland America, 6 nights of accommodation, 24 meals and more.

Visas
Canada
Australian passport holders must apply for an electronic travel authorisation (eTA) before travelling to Canada by air. An Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) is an entry requirement for visa-exempt foreign nationals travelling to Canada by air. An eTA is electronically linked to a traveller’s passport. It is valid for up to five years or until the passport expires, whichever comes first. If you get a new passport, you need to get a new eTA.

United States
If travelling on an Australian passport, an ESTA (Visa Waiver) for the USA is a strict requirement when travelling to or flying through the USA. Once a USA ESTA Visa Waiver is issued it is valid for 2 years or until your passport expires (whichever is sooner) and will allow multiple entries into the USA.
For information on ESTA eligibility or to apply, please visit: https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta/

Please note: Due to recent changes in the USA Immigration policies, the tour operator recommends all travellers visit US Customs & Border Protection.
