DAY 4
BANFF · KAMLOOPS
This morning an early start to board the Rocky Mountaineer train for what has been called the most spectacular train journey in the world. Your journey offers an exhilarating range of scenery as you travel between the high peaks of the Canadian Rockies, over mountain passes and through the remarkable tunnels, along rocky lakeshores and across the ranch lands of the interior. Today's highlights include the Continental Divide, the Spiral Tunnels, the Kicking Horse Canyon, Rogers Pass, Craigellachie where the last spike of the Canadian Pacific Railway was driven and of course the snow capped peaks of the Canadian Rockies before arriving in Kamloops. Our hotel for this evening is the Executive Inn, located in the town of Kamloops. Please note that Rocky Mountaineer operate a fully non-smoking environment aboard their trains. Clients travelling in Rocky Mountaineer's RedLeaf service will be required to take an overnight bag for their stay in Kamloops, as suitcases are stowed for the duration of the journey to Vancouver.

DAY 7
VANCOUVER
Our second day aboard the Rocky Mountaineer and another exciting journey of stunning vistas awaits us. You will see dramatic changes in scenery, from the desert-like environment of the interior, through winding river canyons and forests surrounded by the peaks of the coast and Cascade Mountains, to the lush green fields of the Fraser River valley. Highlights include the steep slopes and rock sheds along the Thompson River and the rushing waters of Hells Gate in the Fraser Canyon. As the end of our journey draws near, the skyline of Vancouver is soon in sight. On arrival our coach awaits to transfer us to our hotel, the Vancouver Marriott Pinnacle.
After a leisurely morning, we transfer to Vancouver's beautiful waterfront to board our cruise ship the Norwegian Sun. Time to settle into our cabins before an afternoon sailing. With either a picture window or a floor-to-ceiling window in almost every public area, the Norwegian Sun offers a choice of excellent observation areas from which to view the spectacular scenery. You have a choice of dining rooms for breakfast, lunch and dinner. With early morning coffee in your cabin, traditional afternoon tea and superb midnight buffets, you can choose where and when you wish to dine all day.

Today is yours to explore and fully get to know the city of Vancouver. Why not take the opportunity to visit Vancouver Island and Victoria, the provincial Capital or walk through Vancouver's Gastown with its cobbled streets, gas lamps and famous steam clock. The Harbour Tower offers a panoramic view of the city from its observation deck or enjoy the experience while dining at their revolving restaurant.
Banff National Park
Our 1,000 mile journey to Alaska takes us through the beautiful cruising waters of the Inside Passage. Calm and sheltered, this scenic "highway" meanders through countless islands that hug the coastline of this majestic, untamed wilderness. In summer the wildlife sightings are more common, being home all year to bald eagles, deer and brown bears.
