Riviera Travel has launched its Canada group tour holiday for 2023, which includes the option to sail on an Alaskan cruise.
The nine-day tour, titled ‘Canada’s Rocky Mountaineer’, comprises experiences and visits across the Rocky Mountains as well as Banff and Vancouver.
These include two days on the iconic Rocky Mountaineer train; trips to Lake Louise, Peyto Lake and the Athabasca Glacier; a ride on the Snocoach snow track; and a journey to Icefields Parkway.
The optional cruise extension is a seven-night sailing on the Holland America ship, MS Koningsdam.
The itinerary features a visit to the Glacier Bay National Park, a World Heritage Site and home to actively calving glaciers and humpback whales.
While at sea there are calls to Skagway and Ketchikan, and the opportunity for guests to book a range of shore excursions such as glacier helicopter flights, bear and whale-watching, fishing, kayaking, hiking and dogsledding.
There are 21 departures available from £2,999pp, including return flights, transfers and excursions.
Twenty of the tours include the Alaska cruise add-on, with the overall package available from £3,899. Departures are from May to September 2023.
Will Sarson, head of strategy and innovation at Riviera Travel, said: “The magnificent Rocky Mountains are a spectacular sight with the Rocky Mountaineer train held up as the ultimate way to travel through the terrain.”
“The optional cruise will set sail to some of the most eye-catching areas of Alaska including Glacier Bay, with its extraordinary twelve-storey walls of ice.”
