Mountains to Maritime Marvels

Your adventure begins in the alpine town of Banff, where you will spend the night surrounded by the spectacular Canadian Rockies. The following morning, you board the world-renowned Rocky Mountaineer for a two-day journey through some of the most iconic and dramatic landscapes in Canada. Travelling from Banff to Kamloops, you pass soaring snow-capped peaks, glacier-fed lakes, and deep mountain canyons, with highlights including the Continental Divide, the Spiral Tunnels, Kicking Horse Canyon, Rogers Pass and Craigellachie, the historic site where the last spike of the Canadian Pacific Railway was driven. On arrival in Kamloops, you will stay overnight before continuing your journey the next morning.

The second day of your rail adventure takes you west towards Vancouver, through the desert-like scenery of the British Columbia Interior, along the rushing Thompson River, and into the Fraser Canyon where you will witness the powerful waters of Hell’s Gate. As the journey continues, the landscape transforms into lush forests and fertile valleys, before the train finally arrives in Vancouver, where you will spend two nights, giving you time to enjoy the vibrant coastal city framed by ocean and mountains.

From Vancouver, you embark on a seven-night cruise aboard Zaandam, beginning with a scenic voyage through the Inside Passage, a labyrinth of fjords, forested islands and sheltered waterways. The sailing takes you north to the dramatic Tracy Arm Inlet, before continuing to Juneau, Alaska’s capital, surrounded by glaciers and mountains. Your journey then brings you to Skagway, once a bustling Gold Rush town, where echoes of history meet the stunning mountain landscapes. The voyage continues into Glacier Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where towering tidewater glaciers calve into the sea, before reaching Ketchikan, famed for its Native heritage, totem poles and salmon-fishing traditions.

Sailing south through the Inside Passage once more, the cruise concludes in Vancouver, where your adventure comes to an end with a transfer to the airport.

Designed to carry fewer guests while offering greater space, Zaandam is elegant and comfortable. Her décor is inspired by music and features musical instruments including signed guitars from Queen, Iggy Pop, Eric Clapton and the Rolling Stones and a Baroque-style pipe organ. While on board, rejuvenate with a spa treatment in the serene Greenhouse Spa & Salon®, indulge in a tantalizing meal at a fine dining restaurant or play a friendly game of pickleball at sea.

World Stage, the largest theater on board is home to a variety of performances day and night. Our exclusive EXC® Talk lecture series features captivating regional stories told by local experts and narrated by your Cruise & Travel Director. In the evening, World Stage features shows from one or more sensational groups like Step One Dance Company, Cantaré, Island Magic and more. Koningsdam, Nieuw Statendam and Rotterdam bring the World Stage experience to the next level by surrounding you in spectacular sight and sound with a two-story, panoramic LED screen.

Commemorative starter kits will soon be available in our retail shops — purchase as gifts for avid players or as souvenirs, so that you can always look back on your pickleball cruise memories.

Stop by the professionally staffed Fitness Center equipped with the latest cardio and weight machines. Try one of our classes on indoor cycling, Pilates and more or work out at your own pace. You can also head out for fresh air and exercise on deck, where you’ll find basketball and volleyball courts, and two refreshing pools (available on select ships). Some classes may have a nominal fee.

Pinnacle Grill is the ultimate steakhouse at sea, where an exceptional menu and impeccable service make for one of finest meals you’ll ever have.
