From $11,009 per person
15 Days | 14 Nights
There is a place where silence sparkles, where emerald lights dance across starlit skies, and where snow-draped peaks rise like ancient guardians of the land. This is winter in Canada — raw, radiant, and refined. Journey by rail through the majestic Rockies, glide by sleigh through snowy meadows, soak in natural hot springs, and follow in the footsteps of pioneers by dogsled and snowshoe. Each day blends natural wonder with timeless luxury, capturing the very essence of a Canadian winter.
Vancouver — Gateway to the North
Begin in Vancouver, a city cradled between ocean and mountains. Stroll through Stanley Park, discover bustling Granville Island, and take flight on a cinematic journey across Canada with FlyOver Canada. With time to explore at leisure, the city’s blend of wild landscapes and cosmopolitan charm sets the stage for your adventure.
The Romance of Rail — Into the Rockies
Board VIA Rail’s Canadian train and settle into the rhythm of classic rail travel. As the train winds eastward, watch snow-capped peaks emerge beyond panoramic windows. Dine in elegance, sleep in the comfort of your private cabin, and awaken to the grandeur of Jasper National Park.
Jasper — Wildlife & Dark Skies
In Jasper, the wilderness takes centre stage. Spot elk, moose, and bighorn sheep with an expert guide, then warm up with a culinary walking tour through the town’s lively eateries. As night falls, step into one of the world’s largest Dark Sky Preserves. Guided by astronomers, gaze through powerful telescopes and listen to Indigenous constellation stories beneath a canopy of stars.
Lake Louise — A Frozen Icon
Travel the Icefields Parkway, a ribbon of road through a wonderland of glaciers and peaks. Arrive at Lake Louise, where the legendary Fairmont Chateau awaits on the lake’s frozen edge. Skating across its crystalline surface or simply gazing out from fireside comfort, the scene is one of pure alpine enchantment.
Banff — Magic on the Mountains
Banff welcomes you with charm and adventure. Hike the icy trails of Johnston Canyon, take a horse-drawn sleigh ride through snowy meadows, and ascend Sulphur Mountain for Nightrise, a multimedia art experience that transforms the summit into a symphony of light, sound, and spirit.
Calgary — The Gateway Between Worlds
Pause in Calgary, a city where mountain grandeur gives way to prairie skies. Stroll at leisure through galleries, museums, and vibrant streets before your journey continues northward.
Whitehorse — Northern Frontiers
Arrive in Whitehorse, capital of the Yukon, where wilderness reigns supreme. Encounter moose, caribou, and bison at the Yukon Wildlife Preserve, and soak in steaming Nordic hot springs framed by snow. By night, stand beneath an endless sky as the Aurora Borealis ignites the heavens in shifting ribbons of colour.
Tagish — Life in the Wilderness
Your final days unfold at a remote lakeside lodge in Tagish. Snowshoe through silent forests, following animal tracks across frozen landscapes. Learn to mush a dogsled team with seasoned mushers and their eager huskies. Each night, step outside your cabin to watch the Northern Lights ripple in brilliant greens, purples, and pinks — an unforgettable farewell to the North.
