Set off on the ultimate two-week journey through Alaska and Canada, combining the luxury of Seabourn Encore with the iconic Rocky Mountaineer rail experience.

Begin with an overnight stay in Juneau before embarking on your cruise to explore the wilderness of Alaska. Sailing through iconic channels and fjords, you'll have a front row seat to some of the region's most spectacular sights that aren't accessible for larger ships, with a choice of immersive activities throughout, such as guided Zodiac excursions and a 'Caviar on Ice' experience. With Seabourn, you'll travel in total luxury, with all ocean-front suites, an on board spa, world-class dining and premium drinks included, and complimentary Seabourn all-weather parka by Helly Hansen.

After a short stay in Vancouver, you'll board the Rocky Mountaineer to delve deeper into British Columbia and Alberta, travelling through the Fraser Valley, past the whitewater rapids of Hell’s Gate, and into the heart of the Canadian Rockies. You'll have panoramic views of uninhabited scenery through the domed windows from the comfort of your private cabin while enjoying gourmet meals. You'll stop for the night in Kamloops and Banff for a final dose of spectacular mountain scenery before departing home.
