About the trip

Travelsphere’s 18-night escorted tour begins on the west coast in Vancouver, a city where the mountains meet the sea and the markets pulse with fresh produce. After a couple of days settling in, the itinerary turns eastward with the Rocky Mountaineer train, making its way through the Canadian Rockies. There’s time to spot snow-capped peaks and glaciers, with stops at towns that reveal the region’s gold rush history.

The rail journey concludes in the lively city of Calgary, where the pace picks up again before returning to Vancouver for a final day. The add-on allows for some independent time to explore beyond the group itinerary. The rhythm of this holiday alternates between slow travel on the rails and hands-on sightseeing, with a chance to appreciate the variety in Canadian landscapes and cities. It’s practical, with a fair few early mornings and changes of pace, but the scenery more than repays the effort.
