Winter sparkles on the western frontier, and the Rockies are best by rail.
Dog Days Mush your own team of Siberian huskies across the Yukon’s vast tundra, arriving at your cabin on frozen Tagish Lake in the most Canadian way possible. Your five days in this remote and enormous land is divided between two wilderness lodges. When the dogs need a break, try snowshoeing, ice fishing or seeking out the best views of the aurora borealis.
Bite into crackling Peking duck and sip fragrant green tea on a guided foodie walk of Vancouver’s Chinatown, and enjoy a sixcourse tasting menu in Banff’s acclaimed Eden restaurant. These experiences are part of a ten-day gourmet tour that winds through the Canadian Rockies aboard a luxury train, with passengers spending their days taking in the views from the comfort of glass-domed observation cars, while lodging each night at hotels along the route. Further sights and flavors await in Calgary, Lake Louise and Kamloops, with a helicopter tour in Kananaskis.
Snow Angels Perfect your triple lutz on Alberta’s frozen Lake Louise. Ice-skating on this beautiful lake with wintergreen mountains rising vertically from the shores will be a highlight of exploring the province. Hunt for fossils in a remote cave (lit only by your headlamp), hike to Johnston Canyon’s frozen waterfalls and cross-country ski at Emerald Lake. This six-day tour is heaven for snow lovers.
An abundance of cultural treasures
Traveling across Europe opens your eyes to a world of unparalleled culture and history. It often seems impossible to choose between the Renaissance art of Florence and the Impressionist paintings of Paris; Germany’s Bavarian castles and the bustling multicultural London streets. The wealth of knowledge acquired in Europe is an asset of a lifetime – its only rivals being the people and food you’ll encounter along the way! Close proximity of individual countries makes it easy to incorporate any number of them into your trip, while each country is more than worthy of a focused, extended stay as you immerse yourself in the culture and communities.
The Possibilities Are Endless
Set to a backdrop of an impressive variety of landscapes, from lush tropical rainforests to the breath-taking Rocky Mountain range, North America offers a unique adventure for every traveler. Take a road trip along the Pacific Coast highway, zip-line through Canada’s temperate rainforests, or journey through Mexico’s Copper Canyon by train. The endless opportunities of the land will leave you wanting to discover more.
