Calgary Stampede

Grab your cowboy hat and spurs and get into the swing of things at the annual Calgary Stampede. With its roots tracing all the way back to 1886 when Calgary’s first exhibition took place, the Stampede eventually grew into one of the world’s largest outdoor rodeos and exhibitions. Today, it’s often dubbed the ‘Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth’.

Capilano Suspension Bridge Park

Savour a sensational visit to Capilano Suspension Bridge Park on the beautiful outskirts of Vancouver. After breakfast at the Cliff House Restaurant, you’ll join an insightful nature exploration through the grounds and across the suspension bridge.

Cruise aboard the Holland America Line

With over 50 years of operation in Alaska, Holland America Line is the true pioneer of cruising in the region. Enjoy a cruise that is small enough to embrace the little luxuries, while large enough to offer award-winning onboard entertainment and a range of culinary options, developed by a team of world-class chefs. Holland America Line ships are refreshingly uncrowded and perfectly sized to cruise Alaska’s Inside Passage and picturesque Canada and New England.
