Discover the inclusions provided on your all-inclusive tour, ensuring a stress-free journey where every detail is taken care of.
Tour Highlights
These exclusive or unique events are designed to deepen your experience, taking you on an inspiring journey beneath the surface of local history, culture and traditions. What's more, these once-in-a-lifetime moments are often not available to a regular traveller. The following experiences are just a taste of what we have prepared especially for you.
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.
Meet a Mountie
On an exciting morning in beautiful Banff National Park, you’ll have the chance to meet one of Canada’s renowned Mounties and hear tales from the iconic Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
The Butchart Gardens Before Hours
The gates to The Butchart Gardens are opened a little early just for you. Free to explore with before-hours access, you’ll be treated to a delicious breakfast in the original family residence. Then, take the opportunity to wander among the floral displays without the crowds.
What's On Board
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.
What's On Board
Take your seat for the glass-domed adventure of a lifetime and get comfortable as your world-class train rolls through rugged wilderness, passing forested cliffs, alpine rivers and snowy peaks. And because APT provides the luxury of GoldLeaf Service on every Rocky Mountaineer holiday in Canada, the five-star views will, of course, be matched by five-star service.
Trip Extensions
More days means more to discover, with extension packages you can add before or after your cruise. Enjoy additional days to explore your embarkation or disembarkation city, or see a new destination altogether with a choice of exciting cities.
