EXCLUSIVE: Rocky Mountaineer, Calgary Stampede & All-Inc Alaska Cruise

Vancouver is the perfect spot to kick start this bucket-list adventure. With the harbour waters shimmering in the summer sun and snow-capped mountains framing this Pacific city, we guarantee you'll fall in love with the largest city in British Columbia. Vancouver is truly a one-of-a-kind city bursting at the seams with a unique mix of culture and natural beauty, from the hip bars of Gastown to the hiking trails of Stanley Park. We love this city so much we’ve written a whole blog dedicated to Vancouver, to read it just click here.

Embark your all-inclusive Alaska cruise and set sail north through Alaska’s famously scenic Inside Passage, spend a day at sea spotting some of the country’s most incredible animals before arriving at Icy Strait Point. Here the wildlife certainly outnumbers the people so keep a look out for bears, humpback whales and even bald eagles. The star of the show on this sailing has to be the jaw-dropping Hubbard Glacier, renowned as the largest tidewater glacier in North America. Marvel at incredible colours whilst ice cracks and crumbles into the waters in front of your very eyes. You'll enjoy the Alaskan ports of Juneau and Ketchikan before sailing back through the Inside Passage and disembarking in Vancouver.

Celebrity Eclipse has to be one of the most loved ships in the Celebrity fleet. Up high on deck 15, you'll discover The Lawn Club, kick off your shoes and enjoy the ¼ acre of real grass, with live jazz bands and outdoor BBQs this is the perfect spot to spend a day at sea. Decks 4 and 5 are a hive of culinary activity, with amazing restaurants such as Le Petit Chef at Qsine and Tuscan Grille, as well as contemporary bars and lounges. Our favourite of all has to be the ice-topped Martini Bar, where the bartenders are the stars of the show.

From the moment you step on board, you'll be able to take advantage of Celebrity's Always Included offering. Your cruise package not only includes the classic drinks package, you'll also have a WiFi package in order to share the epic Alaskan scenery with your friends and family back home, plus for peace of mind, your onboard gratuities are also taken care of.
