Day 1 Calgary
Guests check into the centrally located five star Fairmont Palliser Hotel for a one night stay. This evening enjoy a welcome dinner and get to know fellow passengers with whom we will enjoy this exciting 6 night journey through the Rocky Mountains. (Dinner included)

Day 2 Calgary - Banff - Lake Louise
This morning you board the train and depart from the Canadian Pacific Railway Pavilion. Heading through the suburbs of Calgary you travel towards Banff, where you stop around lunchtime. This afternoon you are treated to a tour of the outstanding beauty that surrounds you, from quiet meadows to thundering waterfalls, and towering peaks to misty cannons. You also visit the stunning Chateau Lake Louise, situated at the head of Lake Louise, facing the 11,250ft Mount Victoria. From here the noise of cracking glaciers can often be heard as huge chunks of ice crash into the lake. Spend two nights in this fabulous area, at the Relais & Chateaux Post Hotel & Spa. (Breakfast and lunch included)

Day 3 Lake Louise - Icefields Parkway
Today you take the Icefields Parkway, considered one of the most scenic highways in the world, which offers everchanging views of waterfalls, emerald lakes, alpine meadows and snow-capped peaks. At the boundary of the Banff and Jasper National Parks lies the Columbia Icefield. One of the largest accumulations of ice and snow south of the Arctic Circle, it covers an area of nearly 325 square kilometres. It has eight major glaciers including the Athabasca, Dome, and Stutfield Glaciers, all visible from the Icefields Parkway. You will take Brewster's Ice Age Adventure, a tour onto the icy slopes of the Athabasca Glacier before returning to Lake Louse late in the afternoon. (Breakfast and lunch included)

Day 4 Lake Louise - Revelstoke - The Rockies
On leaving Lake Louise you start the steepest part of your climb through the Rockies. On reaching the Continental Divide, you pass from Alberta into British Columbia and change to Pacific Time. From here you descend past Lake Wapata into two spiral tunnels down to Kicking Horse Pass, continuing over Rogers Pass in Glacier National Park. Arrive in Revelstoke, where you visit the Railway Museum, and stay overnight. (All three meals included)

Day 5 Revelstoke - Kamploops - The Lakes
An early run down to Kamloops, passing Craigellachie, where the last spike was driven to complete the Trans-Continental rail link on the 7th of November, 1885. You have arranged an excursion with the ‘Spirit of Kamloops’ heritage train. You return to Kamloops for an overnight stay. All meals included.

Day 6 Kamloops - Vancouver - The Canyons
Early morning you depart for Vancouver, some 250 miles away, and travel along the Thompson River and Fraser River canyons. Exiting the lower Fraser River valley you run along Burrard Inlet into Vancouver’s Waterfront Station, beneath the original Canadian Pacific Terminal. (Note: operational constraints may require that the train terminates at Coquitlam in Vancouver’s suburbs). You then transfer to the five star Fairmont Waterfront Hotel (or similar) for a one night stay and your farewell dinner. (All three meals included)

Day 7 Vancouver
The tour ends with breakfast in the hotel. If there is time before flights you can explore this cosmopolitan city. Situated on the edge of the Pacific Ocean, nestled in and around the slopes of the impressive Coast Mountains, Vancouver was voted one of the top three most liveable cities in the world in 2007. Soak up the atmosphere by taking a walk along the Stanley Park Seawall, visit the Vancouver art gallery or just enjoy the ambience by relaxing at a street café. (Breakfast included)
