Day 1: Australia -
- Calgary
Today, depart Australia to begin your Canada & Alaska holiday! On arrival after
clearing customs and immigration formalities make your own way to your hotel. The
hotel provides a 24/7 airport shuttle. You can request the hotel shuttle with the
phones located in the arrivals hall. On arrival at your hotel the rest of the day is at
leisure. Tonight, your Webjet tour guide will welcome you to Canada.
Alberta’s landscape encompasses mountains, prairies, desert badlands and vast
coniferous forests. It has more than 600 lakes, and rich mineral deposits. In the west,
the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks have glaciers in the Columbia Icefields. The
Waterton Glacier International Peace Park is a biosphere reserve that straddles the
southern border with the USA
Day 2: Calgary - Banff - Lake Louise - Jasper Area (B)
After breakfast, we begin our journey into the Canadian Rockies, with our first stop in
the chic mountain town of Banff. The peaks of Mt. Rundle and Mt. Cascade, part of
the Rocky Mountains, dominate its skyline. On Banff Avenue, the main thoroughfare,
boutiques and restaurants mix with château-style hotels and souvenir shops. After
time to wander the streets of Banff, we continue our drive heading north to the
“Diamond in the Wilderness” otherwise known as Lake Louise. The is time to enjoy
the foreshore and gaze at the emerald waters and towering mountains. We then
continue our journey through the Rocky Mountains to our overnight stop in the
quaint mountain town of Hinton, outside of Jasper.
Day 3: Hinton - Jasper - Kamloops (B)

Train
This morning we make the short journey to the alpine town of Jasper. Here, the whole
morning is at leisure to explore the town at your own pace. Some mountain towns
base their appeal on trying to be trendy. Jasper retains its timeless appeal by being
unpretentious — an intimate community that originated as a railway town that just
happens to be in the middle of some of the most gorgeous protected wilderness in the
world. After time exploring Jasper we continue through the stellar scenery before
making our way out of the Rocky Mountains and on to the town of Kamloops.
Day 4: Kamloops - Whistler - Vancouver (B)
Today our journey takes us along the Trans Canadian Highway towards the Ski town of
Whistler. After arriving in Whistler, you will enjoy some time to eat or stroll around this
picturesque mountain town. Whistler is only about 2 hours North of Vancouver, and
roughly about 4 hours West of Kamloops. Over two million people visit Whistler annually,
primarily for alpine skiing and snowboarding and, in Summer, mostly mountain biking. Its
pedestrian village centre has won numerous design awards and Whistler has been voted
among the top destinations in North America. Whistler’s urban landscape was specifically
designed to accommodate the natural environment. Many of Whistler's bears have learned
to do things like open car doors or hold spring-closed gates open so they can reach food.
Some have even learnt to open the newspaper bins! We then continue down the North
Shore. Highway 99, between Horseshoe Bay & Squamish, has to be one of the most
beautiful roads in the area. With the ocean glimmering on the right and the mountains
rising on the left, it is truly enchanting. On arrival into Vancouver, enjoy a panoramic tour
of Vancouver before arriving at hotel.
Day 5: Vancouver - Embark on cruise
(B,D)
Today, your private motor coach will transport you from the hotel to the Vancouver cruise
port, to join your luxury 5 star Celebrity Cruise of the inside passage. Upon arrival at the
cruise port check-in with your cruise ship and enjoy a wonderful cruise through the natural
wonders of Alaska.
Day 6: Inside Passage (scenic cruising)
(B,L,D)
Today, enjoy everything your ship has to offer as you sail between the Inside Passage.
Today you’ll sail beyond the Inside Passage into the more protected Alaska Inside Passage.
Home to diverse wildlife—orca, mountain goats, bald eagles, bears, puffins, sea otters and
more—the complex labyrinth of fjords and bays are where whales and sea lions find refuge
during the summer months.
Day 7: Ketchikan
(B,L,D)
You've never tasted salmon so fresh. Known as the 'Salmon Capital of the World',
Ketchikan is also the ancestral home of the Tlingit people, who have carved the world's
largest collection of totem poles. If you're up for an adventure, take a canoe and nature trail
excursion through the rain forest or a wilderness exploration followed by a sumptuous
crab feast you can't resist (optional).
Day 8: Icy Strait Point
(B,L,D)
For thousands of years, the Tlingit Indians have called this place home. Located near the
city of Hoonah, and home to a historic cannery, Icy Strait Point also offers travelers the
chance to view wildlife like humpback whales, orcas, seals, eagles, and brown bears, or to
explore monuments to the region’s fishing heritage.
Day 9: Juneau
(B,L,D)
Today we are ported in Juneau. Here's your chance to take a glacial dogsled adventure via
helicopter in Alaska's capital (optional). A city that gracefully balances frontier ruggedness
with cosmopolitan flair. Mendenhall Glacier, a river of ice measuring 1.5 miles in width
and over 6 miles in length, is part of Juneau's Icefield, 1500 square miles of ice that feeds 38
glaciers and ready for you to take a float trip on it.
Day 10: Skagway
(B,L,D)
The great Klondike Gold Rush lives on in Skagway's charming downtown of restored 19thcentury buildings and its historic railway. From the vintage train, admire the mountains
and see the 1898 trail that fortune seekers traveled on foot. The White Pass & Yukon Route
Railroad runs vintage locomotives past the famously steep Chilkoot Trail and offers
sweeping mountain views during its climb toward Canada.
Day 11: Hubbard Glacier
(B,L,D)
Today you are in for a treat, spectacular views of the Hubbard Glacier. Hubbard Glacier is
the largest calving glacier on the North American continent. The glacier routinely calves off
icebergs as high as 10-story buildings, sending massive blocks of ice into the sea every few
minutes.
Day 12: Seward - Anchorage -
- Australia (B)
This morning, disembark from your Luxury cruise ship to start your journey home. A
Webjet representative will meet you at the port. Before transferring you to Anchorage
airport to board your homeward flight.
