What does an Alaska Cruise Canada Rail and Coach Vacation Offer?
If you are hankering for a trip to Alaska and Canada seems like an option worth considering at the same time, research an Alaska cruise Canada rail and coach tour available there across summer.
A number of touring companies offer this ‘combination vacation’ that provides larger than life views of Alaska’s Inland Passage aboard your cruise liner along with rail and coach travel through some of the most spectacular parts of Canada’s British Columbia and Alberta.
Tours are accompanied by guides with expert local knowledge in each of the areas you visit.
The train section of these journeys takes two days and is one of the most spectacular in the world. Traveling to Kamloops it makes its way up through the Canadian Rockies and takes in breathtaking scenery including glaciers, snow capped mountains and possibly moose, elk, deer and bear. An overnight stay in Kamploops is followed by more to see the following day from the glass dome viewing carriage.
Quality accommodation allows travelers to enjoy the ambience of uniquely Canadian hotels during the land component of these vacations. Many itineraries include two night stays to maximize the benefit of stopovers.
Coach travel from Banff north to Lake Louise and Jasper then south to Sun Peaks, Whistler and Vancouver provides more opportunity to see scenic Canadian Highlights.
Just when this vacation appears to have reached its peak, the Alaska cruise begins. Some of Alaska’s most majestic sights can been viewed from on board a cruise ship. Traveling up glacial fjords and around Glacier Bay, past local fishing villages and stopping at Ketchikan, Skagway and Alaska’s political capital Juneau are often some of the highlights of this component of an Alaska cruise Canada rail and coach vacation. Each of these stops reflects some of the local history and the Alaskan way of life. There is much to do on foot or in organized tours during these land visits.
Alaska has 10,000 glaciers or ‘rivers of ice’ and although you won’t see them all on this vacation, you will see some of the most spectacular.
One tip worth considering on any organized tour, relates to the clarity of the costs. If an Alaska cruise Canada rail and coach vacation appeals, make sure that you are clear about how inclusive your costs are. This will help you avoid ‘hidden extras’ that can sometimes materialize at the time of departure. Having done this, go enjoy the vacation of a lifetime!
