Spectacular Rockies Alaskan Cruise
(22 days, Victoria - Vancouver, 2013)
Spectacular Rockies & Alaskan Cruise
Journey through the western reaches of Canada and see some of the most dramatic landscapes and untouched wildlife in the northern hemisphere. Explore the abundant nature, culture and tradition of historic British Columbia, meet a Canadian Mountie, natives of the aboriginal Shuswap Nation, and take a horse-drawn carriage ride through Victoria. Relax to the railway rhythm of the world-famous Rocky Mountaineer, one of the most luxurious ways to see the majestic, snow-capped Rocky Mountains and see glaciers of Roger’s Pass. Enjoy the vibrant charms of Vancouver and embark upon an unforgettable Alaskan cruise, spotting orcas, humpback whales and even bald eagles along the way. Stay in many iconic Fairmont Hotels, including the Fairmont Banff Springs - a castle amidst the dense Canadian forest and enjoy the spectacular views from the comfort of the Fairmont Château Lake Louise, high in the Rocky Mountains.
No hidden surprises, just hidden gemsAt Scenic Tours we pride ourselves on genuine, fully-inclusive touring. Unlike other operators that charge additional fees for optional tours and meals, our guests have very little extra to pay once they leave the UK. All excursions on your tour are included in the overall cost of the holiday, along with a variety of meals and accommodation throughout.
The fully-inclusive touring extends from the beginning of a holiday, right to its end: all guests are met at the airport at the beginning of a tour and transferred to their hotel, and at the end of the holiday guests are transferred to the airport for departure. When travelling with Scenic Tours, all hotel porterage is included, so guests won’t need to carry their own bags.
A warm welcome awaits you every nightAccommodation with Scenic Tours is always handpicked, and always in a carefully selected location. Our expert team has researched each destination in comprehensive detail to ensure we provide luxurious accommodation when available, and accommodation of the highest possible standard where hotel options are more limited. On every Scenic Tour, our guests are invited to take advantage of our Scenic Special Stays, which are often iconic hotels and are outstanding through the level of luxury and service they offer.
Unforgettable dining experiences
Dining should be a wonderful part of any holiday, and at Scenic Tours we provide our guests with an array of dining experiences and gourmet delights. We include a variety of meals during our tours, and we take pride in the quality that our guests enjoy. Our guests start every day with a full buffet breakfast, which features several hot selections, and many delicious lunches and dinners are also included.
For an escorted tour to be the successful, enriching and unforgettable experience our guests expect, flexibility is vital. In addition to all the included sightseeing and attractions, our flexible approach provides guests with the opportunity to enjoy the activities that interest them most, without any extra cost.Scenic FreeChoice, it’s what makes us different
Scenic FreeChoice should not be confused with the ‘optional tours’ that other operators charge extra for. All Scenic FreeChoice experiences are included in the overall tour price, so regardless of what our guests choose there is nothing extra to pay. We offer our guests the freedom to personalise their touring experiences to suit their individual tastes, by simply selecting the excursion or dining option they would like, and we take care of the rest.
Scenic Enrich - Take home amazing memoriesScenic Enrich is a range of activities, many exclusive to Scenic Tours, which enable you to experience a destination in the most spectacular fashion imaginable. One highlight during the Spectacular Rockies & Alaskan Cruise tour is a fascinating lecture about Canada’s Black Bears by a world leader in Black Bear Research, Michael Allen.
A table with a spectacular view
The quality of cuisine throughout a Scenic Tours holiday is always of the highest calibre, but there are a number of opportunities for you to enjoy a culinary experience that will enliven all the senses. For example, in Banff you’ll taste authentic cuisine and enjoy great entertainment during the fantastic Rocky Mountain Round Up.
