Reboard the Rocky Mountaineer and continue past waterfalls and glaciers to Banff National Park — a UNESCO World Heritage Site with magnificent alpine scenery and a wide range of wildlife.

You’ll cross Rogers Pass and ride through three Canadian National Parks — Banff, Yoho, and Glacier. Arriving in Banff, you’ll check-in to the Deluxe Rimrock Resort Hotel for a two-night stay. Located just out of town near Banff’s famed hot springs, your hotel offers elegant accommodations and amenities — and the most incredible views in the Canadian Rockies!

Enjoy the heated indoor pool, sauna, and whirlpool, or take a hike. Back in your room, you can relax in comfort and take in the fantastic views.

Today you’ll travel the legendary Icefields Parkway, which connects Banff and Jasper National Parks. Along the way view majestic peaks, ice-blue glaciers, and thick pine forests. At the vast, gleaming Columbia Ice Fields, you’ll embark on a “Sno-Coach” ride over an ice-age 900-foot-thick Athabasca Glacier. You’ll then continue to Jasper National Park and your afternoon will be at leisure.

Today, experience a scenic drive through Maligne Canyon with a local guide and stop at a tea house befre boarding The Canadian to begin your three-day journey in an upgraded First-Class "Silver & Blue" service private sleeper compartment.

Relax aboard the First-Class Silver & Blue during your sightseeing train journey from Jasper to Toronto.

After your arrival at the Toronto train station, you’ll explore the city’s delightful ethnic neighborhoods on your city tour. Then spend the afternoon exploring the city’s many attractions on your own. Perhaps you’ll take a ten-minute ferry to Toronto Islands, or visit the Royal Ontario Museum, the Art Gallery of Ontario, or the Hockey Hall of Fame. Another terrific option is the Distillery District, an arts and cultural community filled with wonderfully preserved Victorian buildings.  Later, transfer to your hotel, the Deluxe Sutton Place Toronto (or similar).

Toronto, the largest city in Canada, is a great multi-cultural melting pot. Enjoy a full-day excursion to Niagara Falls, where over 50,000 honeymoons are arranged annually — and where Marilyn Monroe filmed portions of the thriller, Niagara, released in 1953. You’ll enjoy a boat ride on the Maid of the Mist,and experience the power of the falls, which are second in size only to Victoria Falls in Africa. Lunch is included during your excursion. This evening, toast your cross-continental journey and new friends at a Farewell Dinner at the hotel.

Transfer to the airport for your return flight home.
