Must do experiences and highlights in Canada and Alaska
Magnificent Montréal
An eclectic city, a melting pot of cultures, a vivacious arts and festival scene and a French influence complete with divine patisseries and its very own Notre-Dame Basilica.
Banff National Park
The turquoise waters of Lake Louise and Moraine Lake are contrasted by rings of dark pines that envelop them and the frosted peaks that watch over them.
Cruise Niagara Falls
Take in all three falls from the Canadian side, cruise to the base of the thundering cascades, or perhaps get a bird’s eye view by helicopter.
Ride the Rocky Mountaineer
Witness the stunning scenery of the Rocky Mountains from the comfort of your gently rocking train carriage, with no more than panoramic windows separating you from the alpine lakes, mountain passes and verdant foliage.
Rivers of ice spill from the West Coast where calving glaciers meet pristine waters. Cruise atop this ecosystem brimming with wildlife as towering peaks preside over the natural landscape and charming coastal towns.

What our clients are saying about their journeys through Canada & Alaska
The tour guide Doug Briegel was friendly, knowledgeable and where possible accommodating to our needs. The driver, Neil supplied us with lollies which was an extra touch we did not expect. The tour itself took us to the touristy parts of the Rockies and I realised that we would not see hoped for wildlife - however, we did see a Moose and her calf, read more and an Elk. While we did not see any bears, others on the bus did! Our whale watching trip was very successful with humpback whales and Orcas.
I was disappointed that there was no meal plan for breakfast. Most of the hotels had a restaurant but sometimes it was difficult to access breakfast due to the schedule of the tour. It was difficult to connect with the others on the tour as we did not have name badges but over time this became easier.
Our daily coach ride with Tina was smooth and the bus was always spotless! There were appropriately timed stops for stretching, viewing and bathroom breaks although there was a bathroom on the coach! Wade was so good at pointing out animals and points of interest. He was very knowledgeable about the adventure and history of Alaska! When questions were read more asked he repeated them small could hear.! On the rare occasion he wasn’t confident in his response he clarified or had the answer later in the day or the next morning. The days were rather long but not at all stressfull.
Great tour with majestic scenery. Days filled with sightseeing. Saw lots of wildlife, Elk, deer, bighorn sheep, and a Black Bear as well. Amazing tour director and bus driver. Accommodations were ok considering limited availability in some of the places. I think the breakfasts were not up to par and not comparable to what you get when traveling in Europe.
The trip was fascinating, though a bit tiring. All arrangements including flights booked by Tracey went perfectly. Much appreciated! The tour all the way to Fairbanks in Alaska is the highlight of the tour. However, the train ride by Rocky Mountaineer was a bit boring, just kept feeding us on the train. They should have a few stops during the day.
I really enjoyed this tour and what made it great was 2 nights in each city. I also loved that it was not a jam packed itinerary each day so there was plenty of free time to explore. The tour director was very knowledgeable and the hotels very comfortable. The first hotel in Toronto was perfectly located and had all the amenities except for a laundry read more which was a little disappointing as I had already travelled prior to joining the tour. I would have liked breakfast included but thats a small thing. I would travel with Cosmos again.
Great trip - thanks Kayla. Little disappointed wirh Air Canada business class, very squeezy, but everything including coach, tour guide, Rocky Mountaineer, Holland America were all great. Hotels fine, free time good, Cosmos 3 stars.
