DAY 3: Vancouver - Kelowna.
Travel east to the resort city of Kelowna, attractively set on the shores of Okanagan Lake and surrounded by orchards and vineyards. Sample the local wines on the included winery tour this afternoon.
DAY 4: Kelowna - Rogers Pass - Banff National Park.
On to Glacier National Park, where the coach climbs the 4,379-ft-high Rogers Pass.

By early evening reach Banff National Park, gateway to the majestic Canadian Rockies.
DAY 5: Banff.
Banff is one of Canada's favourite year-round resorts with summer activities including hiking, boating, and fishing. We suggest an optional helicopter ride high over the Canadian Rockies or an evening filled with musical entertainment, 'Oh Canada Eh?!'.
DAY 6: Banff - Columbia Icefield - Jasper National Park.
A day of scenic grandeur. First to Lake Louise, its cold turquoise waters are a perfect natural mirror reflecting the surrounding mountains and glaciers. Precipitous gorges, snow-capped mountain ranges and lakes of exquisite blues and greens come into view as the coach scales two mountain passes on the journey northward. A highlight on today's agenda is a stop at the Columbia Icefield for a snowcoach ride over the 1,200-foot-thick Athabasca Glacier. This afternoon join our optional raft trip down the historic Athabasca River. Your accommodation for the next two nights is in Jasper National Park.
Note: Unfavourable weather conditions may affect the availability of the Columbia Icefield snowcoach excursion.
DAY 7: Jasper.
Begin the day with an optional excursion to Maligne Lake, where you embark on a narrated cruise of the lake. On the return journey, we stop to view mighty Maligne Canyon. With much of the afternoon and evening free, you might take a hike along the trails and look for majestic elk.
DAY 8: Jasper - Mount Robson - Sun Peaks.
Leave Jasper following the Fraser River to the base of spectacular Mount Robson, the highest mountain in the Canadian Rockies, peaking at 12,972 feet. The Yellowhead Highway continues south along the mighty Thompson River with spectacular vistas of the Monashee Mountains. Overnight in the alpine setting of Sun Peaks.
DAY 9: Sun Peaks - Lillooet - Whistler.

DAY 16: Cruising - Skagway.
Morning arrival in Skagway, Alaska's gateway to the Klondike Gold Rush in Canada's Yukon. Skagway was the turbulent staging point for prospectors and still has old-fashioned weathered boardwalks and old-time saloons. Optional sightseeing includes a ride in a vintage parlour car to see the White Pass and Yukon route. The rest of the day is yours to relax or explore some more, before setting sail again late this evening. (B, L, D)
DAY 17: Cruising - Glacier Bay.
Cruise into spectacular Glacier Bay early this morning. Forests give way to a rugged landscape rising to rocky peaks.
