Travel Canada Alaska your way
Explore a wide diversity of coach / bus tours through Canada Alaska. We have 5 adventures that vary from 14 days to 31 days. With the greatest number of departures in July, this is also the most popular time of the year.
The Canadian Rockies and Alaska region offers some really well-thought-out explorer tours. Our most requested package combines mountain exploration with an Alaska cruise; it's a smart way to experience both territories properly. The Ice Explorer trips are particularly interesting - you'll ride specialized vehicles right onto the ancient Columbia Icefield glaciers. Around Lake Louise, guided heritage walks give you time to understand the early settlers' stories while looking out over the distinctive turquoise water. One of the special touches we've arranged is private access to First Nations cultural centers before they open to the public - you get to learn about indigenous traditions over breakfast without the crowds. What works well about these tours is how they balance structured activities with personal time; you might choose to take a helicopter flight over the Rockies or simply walk through old-growth forests at your own speed.
Select from our extensive range of 79 fully guided tours to enjoy a worry-free experience through Canada Alaska with our expert guides leading the way.
Explore a wide diversity of ocean cruise tours through Canada Alaska. We have 42 adventures that vary from 14 days to 36 days. With the greatest number of departures in May, this is also the most popular time of the year.

Popular Canada Alaska Cruise Ships
Best places to start your Canada Alaska tour
Vancouver turns out to be the most popular jumping-off point with 15 different departure options, while Calgary follows with 10 tour starts. Anchorage, Toronto and also Victoria round out the main gateway cities. Our booking data shows you should lock in your plans about 78 days ahead - that's roughly 2.5 months before you want to travel. The tours often stop in places like Banff, Victoria and also Dawson City, where you can get a real feel for local culture through food and historic sites. The food gets lots of positive feedback, especially on tours that include meals in the package. May and September are smart times to visit - you'll deal with fewer crowds and often get better prices, plus there's a chance to catch the Northern Lights in September. We've found people really like how the tours mix comfortable lodging with outdoor experiences. The Rocky Mountaineer train journey is a particular favorite - travelers love those glass-dome cars that let you see everything as you roll through the wilderness.

Our Alaska and Yukon tours work really well for people traveling solo - the small groups make it easy to make friends while having your own space. The guided hikes around Tombstone Mountains and gold panning sessions in Dawson City create natural opportunities to connect with others. Solo travelers particularly like how we mix scheduled activities with free time in Whitehorse, where they can join group outings or hit the hiking trails on their own. The combination of stays in welcoming northern towns and optional add-ons like scenic Denali flights lets everyone shape their trip while having the safety net of an experienced guide.
Our Canadian Rockies luxury tours really hit the mark with couples. Those Fairmont hotels, especially in Lake Louise and Banff, have this perfect romantic atmosphere that pairs just love. Days are filled with activities like hiking Jasper National Park or exploring Athabasca Glacier in an Ice Explorer, while evenings are for fine dining with mountain views. The Alaska Inside Passage cruise portion gets great feedback - couples can watch glaciers calve from their private balcony and explore gold rush towns together. There's flexibility to add special touches like helicopter rides over the Rockies or wine tasting in Kelowna which lets each couple create their ideal trip.
Active adventures through the Canadian Rockies and Alaska really appeal to younger travelers. The mix includes challenging hikes on Kluane's Auriol Trail, kayaking through Misty Fjords and getting up close to bears in Katmai Park. Young travelers particularly connect with how we blend physical activities and cultural experiences - from First Nations traditions at the Squamish Lil'wat Centre to Klondike history in Dawson City. We've built in enough free time around Whistler and Vancouver for independent exploring while keeping group activities that naturally bring young travelers together.
Our train and cruise combinations really work well for senior travelers. The Rocky Mountaineer's glass-dome cars offer easy viewing of the Rockies with great service and included meals. The pace feels just right - mixing visits to Victoria's Butchart Gardens and Vancouver city tours with relaxing Alaska Inside Passage cruises. Seniors appreciate our walking tours through historic Skagway and Ketchikan, with options for more active excursions if they're interested. Having premium lodging options and tour directors who handle all the details makes these tours ideal for mature travelers who want to explore without any hassles.
The Rocky Mountaineer train journey really sets the tone for our family tours through Canada and Alaska. Kids get excited spotting wildlife through those glass-dome carriages while parents can relax with good meals and comfortable seats. Driving onto ancient glaciers in those massive Ice Explorer vehicles at Columbia Icefield is always a highlight - you should see the looks on everyone's faces. Families tell us they love the Discovery cruise in Fairbanks, especially the stop at the Athabascan village where kids dive into Native traditions. There's plenty of wildlife watching built in, from whale spotting in Prince William Sound to bear watching in Denali Park. We've balanced the educational parts with fun activities and added enough breaks so nobody gets overwhelmed.

Best time to visit Canada Alaska
- Spring 2026
Spring really comes alive in the Canadian Rockies and Alaska with three excellent cruise combinations plus two land-only options that our clients love. The Rocky Mountaineer train portions work beautifully this time of year - those glass-dome cars give you perfect views of snow-capped peaks while valley floors start showing their first green. Before heading up the Inside Passage, where you might spot whales making their way back to Alaska, cruise-combo tours let you explore Vancouver properly. The land tours focus on Banff National Park just as hiking trails open and wildlife emerges. There's this neat option with private morning access to First Nations cultural centers - our travelers really appreciate learning about indigenous traditions over breakfast before the general public arrives. A few tours add stops in Kelowna's Okanagan Valley for wine tasting, which our customers say nicely balances out all the mountain experiences.

How do land tours and Alaska cruises work together?
You'll find most people start with exploring the Canadian Rockies seeing amazing places like Banff and Lake Louise before hopping on their Inside Passage cruise from Vancouver. If you prefer you can do it the other way around - cruise first then explore the Rockies and finish up in Victoria. Want to see even more? Tours like "Heart of the Canadian Rockies with Alaska Cruise" let you experience both the Rockies and interior Alaska and you can add on spectacular train journeys on the Rocky Mountaineer or Alaska Railroad.
What cultural experiences can you join in Canada and Alaska?
There's some incredible First Nations culture you can experience firsthand at cultural centers and traditional villages. In Whistler you've got to try the authentic Squamish Lil'wat traditions they share a special presentation and breakfast at their Cultural Centre. Love a bit of history? Head to Dawson City Yukon where you can catch a fun can-can show at Diamond Tooth Gerties Gambling Hall it's actually featured in tours like the "Ultimate Alaska & the Yukon". Over in Fairbanks Alaska you can learn about Athabascan Native culture at the recreated Chena Indian Village part of the "Alaska & Yukon Explorer" experience.
What are the main natural areas to visit and how do you get there?
Denali National Park in Alaska is a must-see you can get there on the Alaska Railroad or park shuttles it's perfect for seeing wildlife in pristine wilderness. Then there's Kluane National Park in Yukon reached by some gorgeous scenic drives where you'll find Canada's highest peak Mount Logan and massive ice fields. If you're near Seward Alaska don't miss Kenai Fjords National Park best seen by boat tours where you can check out tidewater glaciers and marine life it's a highlight of the "Alaska & Yukon Explorer" tour.
What's the best way to get around Canada and Alaska?
In cities like Vancouver and Victoria you've got easy public transport with buses and ferries. Between cities coach buses are great taking scenic routes through the Rockies and Alaska popular with tours like "The Canadian Rockies with Alaska Cruise". Want something special? Try the Rocky Mountaineer or Alaska Railroad featured in tours like "Spirit of the Rockies" they're absolutely spectacular ways to see the landscape. For those remote spots particularly in Alaska floatplanes are your best bet.
What about those hidden routes travelers love?
The Top of the World Highway between Dawson City Yukon and Fairbanks Alaska takes you through some incredible remote tundra landscapes. People really love this route when they want to get off the tourist trail it's pretty isolated but absolutely beautiful. The Denali Highway is another gem running along Denali National Park's border perfect for hiking and exploring real Alaskan wilderness. One of our travelers Maakere from New Zealand had an amazing time seeing black and grizzly bears from their minivan on Ruby Range Tours' "Alaska & Yukon Explorer" they loved Denali National Park and mentioned how nice it was staying in comfortable hotels along the way.
