Canadian Rockies & Alaska Cruise Tour Highlights:
Banff - Established in 1883 after three railway workers stumbled onto a thermal spring, Banff National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The town is nestled in the heart of the park where you'll enjoy creature comforts. Explore around the park to view deer, elk, moose, bear, and the stunning scenery.
Lake Louise - Experience the turquoise alpine lake where Victoria Glacier reaches the shoreline. Here you will enjoy the outdoors with hiking, canoing, and beautiful scenery. Enjoy high tea at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise or relax in a comfortable chair as you take in the beauty of this area.
Vancouver - If you could watch the history of Vancouver as a time-lapse movie, you'd see the creation of a sawmill and a community that grew up around it, which then became the townsite of Granville. Then comes the railroad, and development of the great natural harbor. Then: a sudden linkage to the Orient, Eastern Canada, and Europe. Immigrants come, business blooms, and the skyscrapers rise up along Burrard Inlet, always with the mountains visible in the spaces between the buildings. Go for the galleries, boutiques, public markets, and restaurants of every flavor. Visit vibrant Chinatown and Stanley Park, with its 1,000 acres of forests, gardens, lakes and lawns in the heart of the city.
Juneau - No roads lead to Juneau, which gives the Alaskan capital a misty inscrutability. You need to come by air or water, but when you arrive, the place will delight you with its bounty of water, forests, and mountains. Squeezed between the Gastineau Channel and Coast Mountains, Juneau offers a lot of variety in close proximity. The massive Mendenhall Glacier and the immense Juneau Icefields are at its back door. The vast Tongass National Forest stretches away to the northeast. You can shop downtown or get out and kayak, dogsled, raft, hike, whale watch or fish. The adventures are as bountiful as the daylight.
Ketchikan - Ketchikan clutches the shores of the Tongass Narrows, with many shops and houses built right out over the water. The stairways are weathered and the vibe is cheerful in the town that calls itself the Salmon Capital of the World. Besides the main attractions - Creek Street, the Tongass Historical Museum, Totem Bight State Park and Saxman Village. These deepwater fjords were gouged out by retreating glaciers, leaving granite cliffs towering thousands of feet above the sea and countless waterfalls plunging into placid waters.
Nieuw Amsterdam is part of Holland America's Signature-class of ships. The art collection and inspired interior celebrated the glamour and history of New York City. Enjoy an array of onboard activities that allow you to pursue new interests or relax and rejuvenate. Enjoy a cooking show or hands-on workshop with America's Test Kitchen. And explore the wonders of our world through BBC Earth's natural history content of onboard activities, concerts and films. Nieuw Amsterdam offers a spa, fitness centre, two outdoor pools, hot tubs, basketball and volleyball courts, dazzling entertainment, and a variety of activities for youth and teen guests. Bring the entire family to Alaska on this unique 15 Day Canadian Rockies and Alaska Cruise package.
