This trip provides breathtaking views of the majestic Rocky Mountains culminating in a cruise of the Alaskan coast. After traversing a path through the deep valleys and crystal rivers surrounded by British Columbia’s old growth forests and Rocky Mountain range, travelers will then board a luxury cruise line to experience breathtaking views of the snowcapped peaks, glaciers and icebergs that line Alaska’s coast. Did I mention the train provides panoramic views of the beautiful Canadian wilderness in its glass rail car, complete with a private sleeping cabin and five-star meal service? Because it does.
