Canadian Rockies & Alaska’s Inside Passage
The 15-day Canadian Rockies and Alaska’s Inside Passage is no ordinary tour. It’s chock-full of experiences that connect you to place, people, and presence. The best bit? It’s tailored with Australian travellers in mind!
Trip highlights include:
- Miss none of the action with daytime Rocky Mountaineer rail travel. Enjoy elegant meals and unlimited drinks as you trace the Kicking Horse River through the Rockies
- Signature stops across the tour include line-dancing, lunch, and a wagon ride at a Western Canada ranch, the Totem Heritage Centre in Ketchikan, and breakfast atop Grouse Mountain
- You’ll also join a 7-night Holland America Line cruise through Alaska’s Inside Passage to see Glacier Bay’s spectacular scenery, stop in historic ports like Skagway, and witness the region’s mesmerising wildlife, from whales, orcas, bears, and bald eagles
- Take comfort in elevated stays that do the destination justice. Like the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, Rimrock Resort in Banff, and Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre, before you set sail for Alaska
Premium touches
One of the many reasons travellers enjoy Collette tours is the focus on its pace. They know that slowing down allows you to maximise your experience in the destination. Whether it’s riding Rocky Mountaineer by daylight with a hotel in between so you don’t miss a thing, or time to soak in the heritage, culture, or wildlife, it’s all been thoughtfully factored in.
There are included Choice on Tour moments, where you can select activities based on your interests and experiences. On this tour, your choice is a tough one – take a classic Columbia Icefield excursion or the Skywalk, a glass-floored platform over Canada’s Sunwapta Valley!
While most touring is included, for a little extra something special, switch out the scheduled activity for these three optional extras: jet boat whale watching, a Skagway tour with summit lookout, and flightseeing in Alaska’s spectacular Misty Fjords. Sign us up!
If you’d like even greater premium touches, upgrades are available. Perhaps you’d prefer the ultimate experience aboard the Rocky Mountaineer with Gold Leaf service (upgrade from $1,500), where picture windows and gourmet meals elevate your time aboard this iconic railway journey?
On your Holland America sailing, you can spoil yourself with an Ocean-View or Veranda cabin (add-on from $900).
