10-Nights The Best of Western Canada & Rocky Mountaineer - Land Journey

All aboard! And you're off on a wilderness adventure that's steeped in scenic beauty accessible only by train, boat, float plane and Ice Explorer; rewarding with stays in luxury Fairmont hotels; and enriched by guided exploration with expert guides who introduce you to the gems of Western Canada. It all starts along the stunning shores of Lake Louise, where a three-night stay at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise indulges with the natural treasures of Banff National Park.  View alpine wonders on a float trip on the Bow River, enjoy afternoon tea at the venerable Banff Springs Hotel, and explore the chic town of Banff as you wish. Drive along the incomparable Icefields Parkway for views of arctic wildlife, turquoise lakes, pristine glaciers, thundering waterfalls and towering peaks that defy comparison and ride a specially designed Ice Explorer atop a prehistoric glacier. Board the Rocky Mountaineer as you travel to Vancouver in premier Gold Leaf seats that pamper with head-turning vistas and First Class service, stopping overnight in Kamloops before ending your rail journey with a stay at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. A visit to Granville Island fly to Victoria Island aboard a float plane for a two-night stay at the waterfront Fairmont Empress where whale watching and a choice of sightseeing await. Travel from Vancouver to the Fairmont Chateau Whistler, experiencing unique cultural discoveries that make your last two nights memorable in every way.
