When it comes to creating moments of awe and abundance, it’s hard to top the combination of breathtaking natural beauty and luxurious fine dining. There is just something about a stunning panoramic view of waterfalls, wildlife, lakes, and glaciers paired with a glass of champagne.
For guests in search of that magical moment, not much beats APT’s Canada and Alaska offerings.
With crystal blue rivers and lakes, snow-capped mountains, and forested valleys, Canada and Alaska are home to some of the planet’s most breathtaking vistas.
With more than 30 years of touring North America, APT has access to some of the region’s most exclusive accommodation and experiences. Some of the top travel moments available on their tours of the region include:
Access to Canada’s world-famous Butchart Gardens before anyone else: A large crowd and lots of noise has the potential to ruin even the most magical of moments (visit Rome during European summer if you need evidence of this). This is why APT has secured exclusive early access to Canada’s legendary Butchart Gardens. APT guests are able to enjoy a private breakfast in the residence of the original Butchart family, before taking in the stunning floral displays without the crowds.
Witness the Warrior Women of Jasper: One of the best ways to understand the climate of the place you are visiting is to connect with indigenous tour guides. In Jasper, Canada, First Nations Warrior Women provide an experience like nothing you have ever witnessed before. Featuring traditional songs, drumming and storytelling about Indigenous culture and Cree legends, guests will leave with a deeper connection to Mother Earth.
Meet a Mountie in Banff: Step into the iconic world of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police with an intimate and exclusive encounter. Listen as a Mountie in full, unmistakable red serge shares captivating stories about their duties, the fascinating history behind their role, and the legacy of their world-renowned uniform. This is your chance to dive into the traditions of Canada’s most recognisable national symbol—topping it all off with a memorable photo opportunity.
Enjoy these signature experiences alongside the luxury and attention to detail that APT is known for, including:
Luxury service and handpicked accommodation: All of the hotels on APT’s tours are hand-picked to ensure they are of the highest quality. Guests are able to savour magical nights at Fairmont Hotels’ iconic Canadian properties including the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise and the alpine wonderland of Fairmont Banff Springs.
Tailored expertise: With so much invested in a trip, who wants to spend even a moment of their time doing something they don’t enjoy. APT’s Freedom of Choice inclusions mean that guests can adjust their schedule based on what interests them the most. The days of the cookie-cutter tours are over.
Travel in style with GoldLeaf Service on Rocky Mountaineer: There are trains and then there’s Rocky Mountaineer. With glass-dome carriages, panoramic views and an outdoor viewing platform, travelling on Rocky Mountaineer is an experience in itself. Best of all the GoldLeaf service (provided on all of APT’s Tours) allows guests to experience gourmet meals prepared by executive chefs.
