Western Canada by land and sea
First explore the stunning nature of Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies before boarding the Rocky Mountaineer for an unforgettable adventure from luxury. A drink, a light lunch or just an elaborate culinary feast; from the moment you board the iconic train, you'll be at your beck and call. Lean back as the majestic landscapes of British Columbia pass by and stop for an overnight stay in Kamsloop. The scenic route along the rails then takes you to Vancouver where, after extensive exploration, you embark on the all-inclusive and most luxurious cruise ship in the world: the Regent Seven Seas Explorer.
Cruisin'
Once embarked on Regent Seven Seas' flagship, days at sea alternate with adventures ashore. While cruising, participate in activities ranging from photography workshops to a visit to the casino and a game of tennis. On the mainland, expeditions await in the rugged wildlife-rich mountain areas for which Western Canada is so famous. Follow the trail of grizzly bears, learn about the rich local heritage and be thrown back to the days of the gold rush. Expect nothing but a visual spectacle, culinary indulgence and world-class service. Where the world can't find you...
