Rocky Mountains, Coastal Wilderness & Alaskan Glaciers | 2027

19–22 days | Land Journey & Verandah Cruise

This is a journey shaped by scale and silence — emerald lakes cupped by the Rockies, ancient glaciers calving into still waters, and coastal towns where wilderness feels close enough to touch. Travelling in an intimate APT group of no more than 40 guests, these Canada and Alaska experiences combine legendary rail journeys, storied national parks, and a refined ocean cruise through one of the world’s most dramatic seascapes.

From Fairmont grandeur to GoldLeaf rail luxury and a verandah-framed Alaskan voyage, every detail is considered — effortless, immersive, and deeply rewarding.

 

Rockies Explorer & Alaska Cruise

19 Days | From $19,795 pp 

Your journey begins in Vancouver, a city balanced between mountains and sea, before heading inland to the heart of the Canadian Rockies. In Banff, Lake Louise, Jasper and Whistler, nature presents itself in its most cinematic form — turquoise lakes, snow-dusted peaks, and forests scented with pine.

A highlight unfolds aboard the Rocky Mountaineer, where GoldLeaf Service transforms the journey itself into an event. Glass-domed carriages reveal rushing rivers and towering canyons, while attentive hosts and gourmet dining elevate every mile.

From the mountains, you return to the coast to embark a Holland America Line cruise to Alaska. With a guaranteed verandah, the world glides past — the ice-blue drama of Glacier Bay, the frontier charm of Skagway, and the rainforest-lined shores of Ketchikan and Juneau.

 

Rockies Odyssey & Alaska Cruise

22 Days | From $20,195 pp 

This extended odyssey allows more time to absorb the rhythms of Western Canada before venturing north to Alaska. Beginning and ending in Vancouver, the route winds through the Canadian Rockies, where landscapes feel almost impossibly vast and refined lodgings provide welcome repose.

As with the Explorer journey, GoldLeaf Service aboard Rocky Mountaineer delivers front-row views of Canada’s most celebrated scenery — but this itinerary adds richer cultural layers. In Whistler, a visit to the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre offers insight into First Nations traditions, animal symbolism, and storytelling, paired with a memorable breakfast experience.

The voyage continues north aboard Holland America Line, where calm seas, polished service, and glacier-carved coastlines define the days. With additional time woven into the journey, the experience feels unhurried — allowing space for reflection as well as discovery.

 

A Landscape That Leaves Its Mark

There is something profoundly grounding about these places — the stillness of Lake Louise at dawn, the slow power of glaciers, the quiet comfort of watching Alaska slip past from your private verandah. These journeys are not about rushing from highlight to highlight, but about allowing great landscapes to reveal themselves fully.

Travelled in comfort, guided with expertise, and designed for those who value depth over speed, Canada and Alaska unfold here with grace, scale, and unforgettable presence.
