What people love about Canada Alaska Tours for Seniors
- Heart of the Canadian Rockies with Alaska Cruise
The Cosmos tour exceeded our expectations on almost all counts - excellent guide, selection of excursions to highlight the features of the Canadian Rockies and Alaska. The quality of the accommodation while mostly excellent, had one or two exceptions but this was expected given the price/quality trade-off of the selected tour.

Tour groups typically welcome travelers between 55-85 years old with most participants in their early 60s to early 70s.
