PLACES WE STAY
The Rocky Mountaineer Gold Leaf Service (2 days) has a custom designed Gold Leaf Dome Coach which puts us right in the middle of the awe-inspiring scenery of the Canadian Rockies. Rocky Mountaineer Gold Leaf Service is as good as it gets. We journey across the great divide and through the legendary Spiral Tunnels, and experience majestic mountains,
lakes and forests along the way with meals included and 5-star service.
MS Zaandam (7 nights Alaskan cruise) is a mid-sized
sanctuary designed for travellers who prefer soulful, classic cruising over the loud bells and whistles of modern megaships. Every deck celebrates the history of music, from the iconic three-story pipe organ in the atrium to rare memorabilia like guitars signed by rock legends. We enjoy Vista Suites Category A, located on the Veranda deck, all with
private balconies!
Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre Hotel, Vancouver
(3+2 nights) is a full-service 4-star hotel in the heart of the city, ideally located within easy walking distance to many attractions and shops.

Mountaineer who will book this as part of our train journey.
Tonquin Inn, Jasper (2 nights) is a 3-star mountain-style
hotel with spacious, comfortable rooms and suites that make it a good choice for both leisure and adventure travellers visiting Jasper. Please note that this hotel is a tourist class hotel of a lower standard than our normal hotels but Jasper suffered a large bush fire and this has caused a significant shortage in suitable hotel accommodation in Jasper.

experience, set in the mountains, at the base of Canada’s most majestic back-country. Canalta Lodge provides an authentic taste of mountain life.
