If ever you have wished to see for yourself the glories of Alaska’s wilderness and wildlife—the ancient glaciers, last relics of the Ice Age, the towering mountains, the breeching whales, the sea otters and wild bears, flyfishing for salmon in pristine rivers, the soaring gyrfalcons, the tundra carpeted in flowers—now is the time to go. We all know the ice is melting, the centuries-old glaciers are shrinking, and each year the scenery changes. This will certainly be the experience of a lifetime—particularly so when you can enjoy the five-day Rocky Mountaineer Gold Leaf pre-cruise rail trip included in the price.
This is certainly the way to see them: travelling in supreme comfort and luxury, Champagne at hand, on this six-star cruise including one of the world’s great rail journeys. This is a luxurious holiday, with helicopters and sea planes laid on so you can take to the air to witness the glories of the glaciers and wildlife. It will ensure that nothing is allowed to get in the way of your unadulterated pleasure in the sights, sounds and sheer joys of Nature at its most wild and free—close up, and in total comfort.
And this will be in perfect season—for the Rocky Mountains, which will be bathed in summer sunshine, and for viewing the Alaskan wildlife. The riches of Alaska will pass before your eyes as you enjoy life aboard the world’s most luxurious cruise ship, the all-suite, all-balcony, six-star Regent Seven Seas Explorer. She will take you on an exciting journey from Vancouver to Seward, amid breathtaking sights, starting with the glories of the Inside Passage.
The itinerary includes all the iconic, must-see elements of Alaska, taking the Inside Passage from Vancouver, making all the unmissable ports of call: Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, the Icy Strait Point (Hoonah), the Hubbard Glacier and Seward.
And our rail journey takes the historic route from Banff to Vancouver amid the beauties of the Rockies. We shall travel First Class through the legendary Spiral Tunnels to Komloops, Lake Louise, Rogers Pass in the Glacier National Park, the Thompson River, the Cisco Crossing, the Rainbow Canyon, the Fraser Canyon and Hell’s Gate—all historic names to inspire our imaginations while the reality of being surrounded by spectacular mountains and dramatic canyons amid a blaze of colour captivates our senses afresh.
