Rocky Mountaineer & Alaska Tour Routes

Planet Cruise presents a variety of different package tours. Choose from a pre-cruise journey beginning in Calgary onboard Rocky mountaineer which will end with a stunning cruise to Alaska. Alternatively, cruise the Alaskan coastline first before boarding the train in Vancouver and riding to Alberta where you will finish your journey.

The First Passage to the West and the Western Explorer packages are the most popular routes. The First Passage to the West includes an overnight stay in Banff, before joining the Rocky Mountaineer. The train journey itself includes an overnight stay in Kamloops, before arriving in Vancouver for at least one night, before joining your cruise.

The Western Explorer is our bestselling Rocky Mountaineer package. Your journey will encompass the greatest destinations Canada has to offer in one complete tailor-made package. Traveling on an Eastbound or Westbound itinerary, you’ll enjoy overnight stays, motor coach tours to stunning towns, cities and iconic natural sights. Time spent travelling onboard Rocky Mountaineer will only ever be in daylight, ensuring you don't miss a second of the awe-inspiring landscapes. The standard 7 night package is excellent value and the perfect trip for those eager to explore Canada's picturesque and untouched beauty on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday. Some of the magnificent highlights of your Rocky Mountaineer journey will include a stay in Calgary and visits to the famous tower, followed by a fully escorted, full-day tour concluding in Banff. The Western Explorer tour also includes a 12-minute helicopter flightseeing tour in Kananaskis, a summit flight over the remarkable landscape of the Rockies, as well as a journey into the beautiful mountain resort town of Jasper. It is here where you will witness the UNESCO Heritage site of the largest national park in the Canadian Rockies.

On your arrival in Lake Louise, guests will enjoy a stay in the iconic Fairmont Chateaux Lake Louise, before journeying on to Jasper to enjoy more excursions and stays in the beautiful township. No trip in this region would be complete without an Ice Explorer ride to the middle of the Athabasca Glacier, formed by the famous Columbia Icefield - one of the largest accumulations of ice, South of the Arctic Circle. One of the favourite highlights of this trip is the ‘Journey Through the Clouds’, spanning from Vancouver, to Kamloops and to Jasper, before concluding your journey with a stay in Vancouver, ahead of further arrangements for an Alaska cruise, or a flight back home.
