Itinerary
Your North American adventure will start with three deluxe nights in Calgary. You'll get to attend one of the world's largest outdoor event. The Calgary Stampede is a Western-style extravaganza that attracts a million visitors each July. Watch rodeos, chuckwagon racing, concerts, and parades.

Then, fly to Vancouver for further two nights. The city is framed by mountains along the Pacific Ocean. You will have ample time to explore inviting neighbourhoods and a thriving food scene.

Next, embark on a week-long Alaska cruise calling at:

• Juneau… the capital of Alaska, and the starting point for optional excursions to Mendenhall Glacier, which is an impressive 13 miles long.
• Skgaway… this historic gold-rush town is set against a backdrop of emerald forested mountains, and is a great spot for eagle sightings.
• Endicott Arm and Dawes Glacier scenic cruising… sail down the 30-mile-long Endicott Arm Fjord, known for being a breeding ground for harbour seals; pass tumbling waterfalls, granite cliffs, and floating icebergs; and see the impressive Dawes Glacier, standing at over 600 feet tall.
• Ketchikan… close to the southern tip of Alaska, and the gateway to Misty Fiords National Monument, the area has a rich Haida and Tlingit heritage. "There is no better place in the US to see totem poles in all their craning, colorful glory", says Lonely Planet.

Your cruise will conclude in Vancouver. From there, you'll fly back to the UK.

Ship details
Grand Princess is a fun ship that holds around 2600 passengers at full capacity. It has an almost 2-to-1 passenger-to-crew ratio for a relaxed holiday at sea.

Find your favourite spot on the pool deck complete with Jacuzzis. There's an adults-only spa with a wide variety of massage and beauty treatments for a fee. Active guests can practice their skills on the small putting green, play basketball, or attend a history and art lecture.

According to Cruise Critic, the quality of food is high, and the Italian specialities at the pizzeria are "out-of-this-world delicious". With three main dining rooms (included) and two speciality venues to choose from, everyone will find a suitable option.

Evenings are all about entertainment, whereby you can catch a spectacular show at the theatre, while away time in the piano bar, try your luck at the casino, or show off your moves on the nightclub's dancefloor.
