Iconic Calgary Stampede & Rocky Mountaineer Rail Journey with All-Inclusive Alaskan Voyage

Touching down in Calgary, you’ll transfer to your hotel for a three-night stay. Gateway to the Canadian Rockies, this prairie city is in celebratory mood each July, with pancake breakfasts and live music spilling onto the streets.

Two full days are yours to enjoy the Calgary Stampede, with complimentary tickets included. Explore the sprawling park grounds, sample cowboy-style cooking and browse western-wear stalls, or perhaps catch the excitement of the rodeo and nightly chuckwagon races.

Before leaving Calgary, a sightseeing tour introduces the city’s highlights, from its gleaming downtown towers to the riverside paths of the Bow. The road then climbs west into the mountains, bringing you to Banff for a two-night stay.

Join your escorted tour through Banff National Park, Canada’s oldest, where elk often graze beside the road and limestone summits rise on every side. At Lake Louise, the emerald water mirrors the Victoria Glacier, a view that has drawn travellers for well over a century.

This morning, board the Rocky Mountaineer for the first leg of your rail journey west. Settle into your seat as the train crosses the Continental Divide and climbs through Kicking Horse Pass, before an overnight hotel stay in Kamloops.

Rejoining the train, you’ll follow the Thompson and Fraser rivers as the landscape shifts from sage-dotted semi-desert to lush farmland. Look out for the churning rapids of Hell’s Gate before you alight in Vancouver and transfer to your hotel for two nights.

Spend a free day discovering Vancouver, a city framed by mountains and sea. Cycle the seawall around Stanley Park, browse the artisan stalls of Granville Island or explore historic Gastown, home to the famous steam clock.

After a relaxed morning, transfer to the port and embark Celebrity Summit^®. As you sail out beneath the Lions Gate Bridge, raise a glass from your Classic drinks package to the start of your Alaska cruise.

Sheltered from the open Pacific, the Inside Passage threads between countless wooded islands and winding channels. Keep your binoculars handy, as bald eagles, porpoises and humpback whales are frequent companions on this scenic stretch.

Prepare for a highlight of the cruise as the ship edges along Endicott Arm, a narrow fjord walled by granite cliffs. Icebergs drift past in shades of sapphire before Dawes Glacier comes into view, occasionally calving into the water with a thunderous crack.

Skagway was the starting point for thousands of prospectors during the Klondike Gold Rush, and its false-fronted saloons still look the part. Ride the White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad into the mountains, or perhaps stroll the historic district at your own pace.

Hemmed in by steep mountains and reachable only by sea or air, Juneau is Alaska’s remote capital. Head out to the Mendenhall Glacier, ride the tramway up Mount Roberts or join a whale-watching cruise in the surrounding waters.

Ketchikan greets you with salmon-filled rivers, rain-soaked forest and one of the world’s largest collections of standing totem poles. Wander the stilted wooden buildings of Creek Street, then visit Saxman Native Village to discover the region’s Tlingit heritage.

Your final day of scenic cruising is a chance to enjoy Celebrity Summit® at a gentle pace. Find a quiet spot on deck, drink in hand, as British Columbia’s coastline slips past on the way back to Vancouver.

Your holiday complete, today you’ll disembark your ship and head to the airport for your flight home.
