Overview

17 Day Tour from Calgary to Vancouver
Just because the Canadian Rockies are home to some of the most rugged terrain in North America doesn’t mean you have to rough it! Under brilliantly lit skies, you’ll relish three of the region’s most coveted five-star resorts on this pampering tour of the Canadian Rockies. With overnight stays at the renowned Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge, Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, and Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, also known as the “Castle of the Rockies,” you can expect the royal treatment. Majestic views await as you enjoy a guided walk along the turquoise waters of Lake Louise, a peaceful cruise on the gleaming Maligne Lake, and a thrilling Ice Explorer ride through the vast Columbia Icefield – while exceptional creature comforts welcome you back from the wilderness. Balancing the great outdoors with the grand indoors, this Canadian Rockies vacation is the perfect marriage of peaks and pools, conifers and concierge, and sparkling lakes and spas. More scenery, cities, and savory cuisine are served aboard your Rocky Mountaineer train as you travel in comfort from Alberta to British Columbia. A thrilling addition to your Canadian Rockies tour, your Rocky Mountaineer train transports you from beautiful Banff to vibrant Vancouver with a midway overnight stay in the welcoming town of Kamloops. Your adventure continues with a cruise to Alaska through the breathtaking glacial beauty of the Inside Passage and Glacier Bay National Park, and you’ll personally cruise through several exciting ports of call, including the capital city of Juneau, the gold rush town of Skagway, and totem-pole-dotted Ketchikan. PLUS, your tour includes your choice of excursions in Banff so you can plan your day your way.

LOCAL FAVORITE
HEROES ON HORSEBACK As the song goes, Canadian Mounties “always get their man.” Since the early days of the Northwest Territory, the brave members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have patrolled the mountains of Alberta and beyond with dignified duty. While visiting Banff, visit with a Canadian Mountie as a tip of the signature wide-brimmed hat begins the tales of adventure including the tradition behind the famous red jackets and regulation jodhpurs.
