Spirit of the Rockies with Rocky Mountaineer
Let the spirit of the Rockies lift you from the moment you arrive—where Vancouver's coastal sparkle gives way to soaring peaks, turquoise lakes, glacier-carved valleys, and some of North America's most spectacular scenery. This unforgettable Western Canada adventure brings the landscape to life from every angle: travel through the Canadian Rockies aboard the legendary Rocky Mountaineer, ride an all-terrain Ice Explorer onto the Athabasca Glacier at the Columbia Icefield, journey along the breathtaking Icefields Parkway, and ferry across to Victoria, British Columbia's charming Garden City. Along the way, discover the natural beauty of Banff and Jasper National Parks, visit Lake Louise, experience the mountain communities of Sun Peaks and Whistler, explore Indigenous traditions at the Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre, and stroll among the colorful displays of Butchart Gardens. Even your accommodations are part of the experience, with premium Fairmont Collection stays at Fairmont Banff Springs, Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge, and Fairmont Chateau Whistler. PLUS, this tour includes your choice of excursions in Vancouver, so you can plan your day your way.
