Solo Rocky Mountaineer & Alaska Cruise with Flights – 16 Days
Banff, the Rocky Mountaineer and a seven-night Alaska cruise for solo travellers, with flights.
16 days
From £7,599 incl. flights
Tour overview
This 16-day holiday combines the Canadian Rockies by train with an Alaska cruise, designed for people travelling on their own. Flights to Calgary and home from Vancouver are included, and a tour director looks after the group on land. You stay seven nights in three-star hotels on a room-only basis and seven nights on board Holland America Line’s Koningsdam with all meals, plus a night in flight.
From Calgary you travel to Banff for three nights, driving the Icefields Parkway, one of the world’s great scenic roads, with a free day to explore. Two days aboard the Rocky Mountaineer carry you through the mountains and canyons of British Columbia, with a night in Kamloops, to Vancouver for two nights.

Your cruise sails the Inside Passage, with a morning in Tracy Arm fjord, visits to Juneau, Skagway and Ketchikan, and a day among the tidewater glaciers of Glacier Bay before returning to Vancouver and your flight home.
The physical rating is low. This holiday suits solo travellers who want two of North America’s great journeys in one.
