Western Canada with Inside Passage with Calgary Stampede & Alaska Cruise

Welcome to Calgary! More fun than a 10-gallon hat can hold, it’s no wonder the Calgary Stampede is “The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth.” This celebration of the Old West brings frontier days to life with entertainment and exhibits, great food, world-famous Chuckwagon horse races, and the Calgary Stampede Rodeo. Continue your adventure through the majestic Canadian Rockies and awe-inspiring Banff National Park, stop to gaze at the turquoise waters of stunning Lake Louise, and ride an all-terrain Ice Explorer across 750-feet-thick Columbia Icefield. Journey further into the breathtaking wilderness of Jasper National Park with the opportunity for an optional excursion to Maligne Lake and the much-photographed Spirit Island. En route to Prince George, see Mount Robson, the Canadian Rockies’ highest peak. Board VIA Rail’s Skeena train for a memorable all-daylight journey through the rugged Coast Mountains. Retrace the steps of the ancient First Nations trading routes following the paths of the earliest fur traders before arriving in Prince Rupert. Your adventure continues by ferry on a fantastic voyage on the Inside Passage—home to some of the world’s most spectacular scenery and marine life. Watch for whales, sea lions, porpoise, eagles, and more. Overnight in Port Hardy, then make your way south to charming Victoria on Vancouver Island—home to beautiful Butchart Gardens. Set sail across the picturesque Strait of Georgia and Gulf Islands en route to vibrant Vancouver. Top off your value-minded vacation in Canada with a 7-day Alaska cruise through even more stunning sights and spectacular scenery.
