Whispers of the Wild North

Begin your Canadian adventure with a night in Banff, where you’ll enjoy time to explore the iconic mountain town surrounded by the majestic peaks of the Rockies. A private transfer from the airport gets you there in comfort.

The next morning, board the Rocky Mountaineer for a breathtaking rail journey. Travel through awe-inspiring landscapes—from glacier-carved valleys and high mountain passes to river canyons and expansive ranchlands. Highlights include the Spiral Tunnels, Rogers Pass, and Craigellachie. You’ll overnight in Kamloops before continuing west the following day through the dramatic Fraser Canyon and lush Fraser Valley, arriving in Vancouver by evening.

Spend two nights in Vancouver, with time to explore the city’s blend of natural beauty and urban energy. Then enjoy a private transfer to the cruise port, where you’ll board Serenade of the Seas for a 7-night voyage to Alaska.

Cruise through the Inside Passage, visit Sitka, Juneau, Icy Strait Point, and Ketchikan, each offering its own slice of Alaskan wilderness, Native heritage, and marine life. After a final scenic cruising day, return to Vancouver, where a private transfer to the airport wraps up your unforgettable journey.

Sitka truly offers the best of Alaska. Its small-town appeal stems from a unique blend of Russian, Tlingit and American history. Its snow-capped peaks and volcanic Mount Edgecumbe pose amongst the statex2019;s most postcard-worthy scenes. And its rare wildlife astounds, from Saint Lazaria Islandx2019;s orange-beaked puffins to Alaska Maritime Refugex2019;s 40 million seabirds. This is off-the-beaten-track Alaska, where you can kayak Sitka Sound alongside swimming sea otters or fly-fish for the worldx2019;s biggest halibut.

Framed by Mount Juneau and Mount Roberts, the cityx2019;s picturesque central area offers centuries-old bars, boutique shops and historical landmarks. For a taste of the local culture, visit the historic district and the Alaska State Museum. And for outdoor thrills, you can take your pick of activities ranging from whale watching in Auke Bay Harbour to tundra trekking over Mendenhall Glacier, and even try your hand at gold panning in Last Chance Basin.

Day 11 20 August 2026

Skagway, Alaska

The tiny town of Skagway still looks like it did during the Klondike Gold Rush over 100 years ago x2013; and today it remains an outpost for thrilling Alaskan adventure. An old-time tram ride along bustling Broadway Street reveals well-preserved buildings, including the statex2019;s oldest hotel. You can see engraved walrus tusks at the Corrington Museum, or get lost in riveting historical reenactments around town. If outdoor adventure is more your thing, there are plenty of ways to ramp up the adrenaline, from sledding with Alaskan Huskies on Laughton Glacier to rafting on Lynn Canal, the longest fjord in North America.

If you want to get up close and personal with nature, venture into the Tongass National Forest, the largest in the United States. Or head to Ketchikan Creek Waterfall for amazing views of downtown Ketchikan and a glimpse at the yearly salmon runs.
