Rocky Mountaineer and Alaska Rail and Sail

15-day Rocky Mountaineer rail journey paired with a 7-day Alaska cruise

Railbookers runs this 15-day, 14-night independent rail and cruise vacation combining the Canadian Rockies with Alaska. The trip opens with two days discovering Banff, followed by a journey on the Rocky Mountaineer from Jasper to Vancouver, described as taking in ever-changing landscapes along the way. From Vancouver the trip continues to Victoria before travelers board the Norwegian Bliss in Seattle for a seven-day cruise through Glacier Bay, docking in Ketchikan, Juneau, and Skagway with time to explore each port. As an independent package, Railbookers arranges the train, cruise, and hotel stays, but there is no tour guide managing the days. This suits travelers who want to pair a scenic Canadian rail journey with a full Alaska cruise in one trip. Prices start from $4,949 USD per person.
