Ultimate Canada for Two: Chic Cities & Wild Frontiers (12 Nights)

A cross-country honeymoon that marries cosmopolitan style with cinematic wilderness. Begin with prairie-meets-arts energy, move into glacier-fed lakes and castle-grand hotels, ride a legendary rail route through the Rockies, then trade skyline views for Pacific culture and wild, wave-lashed shores. It’s Canada at its most iconic—told for two.

Ultimate Canada for Two


Suggested 12-Night Flow

Calgary (Arrival & City Intro)
Touch down in a lively prairie city framed by distant peaks. Ease into the journey with gallery hops, river-path strolls and a dinner that leans into Alberta’s culinary scene.

Banff / Lake Louise (Mountains & Glacier Lakes)
Head into the Rockies and settle by a jewel-blue lake beneath cirque walls. Walk lakeside paths, paddle a canoe at golden hour and ride scenic viewpoints to high alpine. Horseback trails and gentle ridge walks round out slow, breathtaking days.

Rocky Mountaineer (Rail Through the Rockies)
Board a daylight train that windows the best of the range: hanging glaciers, river canyons and improbable bridges. Meals are served as the scenery rolls by; overnight is off-train en route before rolling into the coast.

Vancouver (Harbor City Interlude)
Glass-and-water modernity meets west-coast ease. Cycle the seawall, browse Granville Island’s food halls and wander neighborhoods of coffee bars, galleries and ocean views. Evenings glow with harbor light and mountain silhouettes.

Vancouver Island – Tofino (Pacific Wilds)
Cross the strait to a rugged coastline where cedar forest meets sand and surf. Walk long beaches at low tide, watch for whale spouts offshore and explore tidepools and coastal trails. Storm-hewn headlands, ocean breezes and fire-lit nights close the arc from mountains to sea.


Where You’ll Stay

  • Calgary: Contemporary city hotel close to galleries and river paths.
