In 1939 Canadian Pacific put out a nifty brochure titled,
appropriately 'Glorious British Columbia' and this heading
summarizes perfectly our view of this beautiful Province. This
Fall, we have a truly glorious holiday that features train travel, time in
Seattle 'The Emerald City', two full nights in lovely Vancouver at the
Hyatt Regency Hotel, sightseeing including a visit to Queen Elizabeth
Park with that most Canadian of treats, Afternoon Tea in the Rose
Garden, two nights in the alpine mountain resort of Whistler and a visit
to Victoria, BC. Nicest of all, our guests will travel from Vancouver to
Whistler over the British Columbia Railway aboard the new Whistler Mountaineer passenger train, the first train over this route in many years, enjoying a journey of stunning beauty past Howe Sound and
Britannia Falls in comfort with big-window coaches, an open-air
observation platform and much more, a stylish way to arrive in Whistler.
In fact, stylish touches abound on this holiday, from our welcome
dinner in Vancouver, to our special cocktail party aboard the ms
Statendam, to a very special evening in the elegant Pinnacle Grill during
our voyage south to San Diego. Naturally, there is a professional tour
manager from start to finish to handle all of the details so that you can
relax and enjoy your holiday.
The holiday begins with a scenic ride to Seattle aboard the Coast
Starlight train with an overnight stay at the Warwick Hotel along with
plenty of time to enjoy 'The Emerald City'. We then travel north to
Vancouver along the Puget Sound aboard the 'Talgo' train, a delightful
trip, and in Vancouver, our guests enjoy two-nights at the Hyatt Regency
along with a welcome dinner, sightseeing and a visit to Queen Elizabeth
Park with Afternoon Tea. Next, we board the Whistler Mountaineer,
bound for Whistler on a stunningly beautiful ride to this popular resort
destination. With two full days in Whistler, guests have plenty of time to
enjoy the European-style cafes, intriguing shops, biking or four of
Canada's top-rated golf courses. Saving the best for last, we then board
Holland America's ms Statendam at Vancouver for a rare Pacific Coastal
voyage south to San Diego, a nice way to sample traditional Ocean
travel, with a daytime stop in Victoria, British Columbia en route.
Onboard there is as much, or as little to do as you like and we cannot
imagine a nicer way to travel home. We have included dinner one
evening in the superlative Pinnacle Grill as well as a farewell cocktail
party.
