Day

Whittier

Departure at 20:30

Enjoy the scenic rail journey through some of the best wilderness in the Great Land on our exclusive Direct-to-the-Wilderness rail service. Once in Whittier, you'll step from the train onto your ship for the beginning of your unforgettable cruise.

Day

6

Hubbard Glacier (Scenic Cruising), Alaska

Arrival at 15:00, Departure at 20:00

Nicknamed the "Galloping Glacier," this east Alaskan glacier is rapidly advancing toward the Gulf of Alaska into a pristine area known as Disenchantment Bay. In fact, its movement temporarily formed a natural dam that twice closed off nearby Russell Fjord from the bay, but the intense water pressure building within the fjord-turned-lake has thus far been enough to explode through the wall of ice.

Day

7

Glacier Bay National Park (Scenic Cruising), Alaska

Arrival at 09:15, Departure at 18:15

Just west of Juneau, this breathtaking national park and preserve boasts some of the world's most spectacular tidewater glaciers, such as Margerie Glacier, which often drops colossal chunks of ice into the sea. Not surprisingly, Glacier Bay National Park and its epic ice giants are part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site comprising Alaska's magnificent park system.

Day

8

Skagway, Alaska

Arrival at 07:00, Departure at 20:30

Skagway was the gateway to the gold fields for the thousands who flocked to Alaska and the Yukon with the hope of striking it rich. Skagway may have boasted the shortest route to the Klondike, but it wasn't the easiest. Over 100 years ago, the White Pass route through the Coast Mountains and the shorter but steeper Chilkoot Trail were used by countless stampeders. Many a would-be miner perished on the treacherous Chilkoot Trail.

Day

9

Juneau, Alaska

Arrival at 06:30, Departure at 16:00

In 1880, it was slow going for Joe Juneau and Richard Harris as they searched for gold with the help of Native guides. After climbing mountains, forging streams, and facing countless difficulties, they found nuggets "as large as beans."

From their discovery came three of the largest gold mines in the world. By the end of World War II, more than $150 million in gold had been mined. Eventually, the mines closed, but the town Joe Juneau founded became the capital of Alaska, and the business of gold was replaced by the business of government.

Day

10

Ketchikan, Alaska

Arrival at 10:00, Departure at 18:00

Ketchikan is known as Alaska's "First City" because it's the first major community travelers come to as they journey north. Located on an island, Ketchikan began life as an Indian fishing camp. The name Ketchikan comes from a Tlingit phrase that means "eagle with spread-out wings," a reference to a waterfall near town.

Day

11

At Sea

Relax and enjoy the facilities onboard the ship.

Day

12

Vancouver, Canada

Arrival at 07:30

Disembark the ship and transfer to the hotel for an overnight stay. It seems unlikely that a character named "Gassy Jack" Deighton would be responsible for one of the most beautiful cities on the continent. But that's history for you. During the gold rush, Gassy Jack saw a chance to make money from the hordes of miners on their way to the Yukon. The saloon he built became the focus of the shanty town known as Gastown. From that ragtag group of shacks, modern Vancouver was born. The provincial government persuaded settlers to change the name of the town to Vancouver, after Captain George Vancouver, who sailed the region's waters in 1792.

Day

13

Vancouver, Canada

Overnight at Hotel

Canada's third-largest city, Vancouver is a cosmopolitan place with a European feel and a personality all its own. It's a community with a rich ethnic mix - including the second-largest Chinatown in North America - and stunningly beautiful parks.

Day

14

Vancouver to Kamloops, Canada

Onboard Rocky Mountaineer

Board the train in Vancouver, and you will enjoy a sumptuous breakfast as we head out of the metropolitan area and start rolling through the Fraser Valley. Following the Fraser River, we witness the landscape change dramatically as we cross the Coast Mountain Range and see the raging waters of Hell’s Gate.

During a leisurely 3-course lunch, the train crosses the truss arch bridge of Cisco Crossing, and the landscape turns more arid. After a full day on the train, you will pull into Kamloops and be transferred to your hotel for a good night’s rest.

Day

15

Kamloops to Banff, Canada

Onboard Rocky Mountaineer

Transfer from your hotel to the train, as the route continues east, with coffee and breakfast, you will travel through the lake-strewn Shuswap region. Passing further landmarks such as Craigellachie – home of the Last Spike hammered in to complete the original transcontinental railway – and the Spiral Tunnels, as the train climbs as you get closer to the Canadian Rockies.

After lunch, you will move deeper into the alpine, taking in Lake Louise and Castle Mountain before arriving in Banff. Transfer to your hotel for an overnight stay.

Day

16

Banff, Canada

Overnight stay at the Hotel

Banff National Park is a stunning natural area in Alberta, Canada, known for its mountainous terrain, vibrant lakes, and abundant wildlife. It's Canada's oldest national park and a UNESCO World Heritage site. The town of Banff, located within the park, serves as a hub for tourism and outdoor activities.

Board the train in Vancouver, and you will enjoy a sumptuous breakfast as we head out of the metropolitan area and start rolling through the Fraser Valley. Following the Fraser River, we witness the landscape change dramatically as we cross the Coast Mountain Range and see the raging waters of Hell’s Gate.

During a leisurely 3-course lunch, the train crosses the truss arch bridge of Cisco Crossing, and the landscape turns more arid. After a full day on the train, you will pull into Kamloops and be transferred to your hotel for a good night’s rest.
