Canadian Rockies by Train

October 2 - 10, 2010

THANK YOU for requesting Information on our upcoming tour…

CANADIAN ROCKIES BY TRAIN, set for October 2 – 10, 2010. Few places on earth rival the magnificent Canadian Rockies for breathtaking scenery and great accommodations. There’s no better way to get there than aboard VIA Rail’s acclaimed train “The Canadian.”

This complete 9-day tour begins with your flight from Milwaukee or Chicago (your choice) to cosmopolitan Vancouver, British Columbia, where you’ll tour the city, spend the night, and enjoy a fine dinner prior to boarding “The Canadian.”

Aboard the train, which is universally regarded as the finest operating in North America today, you’ll be swept back to a bygone era when train travel was the way to go. From the domed observation cars to the classic bullet lounge, you’ll find the service and comfort on this train to be absolutely first rate.

In your private bedroom on the train, which includes a sink and private toilet, you’ll be rocked to sleep by the rhythm of the rails, and then awake to savor a lovely hot breakfast in the dining car as “The Canadian” continues eastbound toward the Rockies. While you’re at breakfast, your steward will convert your bedroom into a comfortable sitting room. From the dome car, take in spectacular views of shimmering glaciers in the Albreda Icefields. Watch for moose, mountain goats, bear and caribou along the way!

Upon arrival at Jasper, Alberta, you’ll transfer to the first of three spectacular Fairmont hotels you’ll stay in, the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge. During your 2-night stay, you’ll tour dramatic Maligne Canyon and Lake and have free time to explore the town of Jasper.

Next stop, one of the world’s most famous hotels – Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. En route to the hotel, view stunning waterfalls and take a ride across a 1,000 foot thick glacier.

Part three of the famous Fairmont trio is the grand Banff Springs Hotel, known as the “Castle in the Mountains.” In Banff and the surrounding area, you’ll be treated to more of nature’s power and stunning beauty as you view lakes, mountains, waterfalls and more.

A night in Calgary makes your tour complete. Priced at $3,699 per person, double occupancy or $4,699 single, your tour includes:

  • Roundtrip economy class airfare from Milwaukee or Chicago (your choice)
  • Transfers from and back to the airport
  • Air taxes, fees and surcharges of $75 (subject to increase until paid in full)
  • Outstanding accommodations throughout the tour
  • 13 meals: 7 breakfasts, 1 lunch, 5 dinners
  • Sightseeing by deluxe touring coach
  • Pre-departure tour information
  • Complimentary travel accessories
  • Professional Collette Vacations tour manager
  • Services of your Cruise & Tour hosts

Your hosts for this tour will be Dick and Jan Pautz, travelers with many years of experience leading groups to worldwide destinations. We are certain that you will enjoy traveling with Dick and Jan.
