VALENCIA, Calif., Jan. 23,
2023 /CNW/ -- Luxury cruise line Cunard is
offering guests the opportunity to experience the world-famous
Rocky Mountaineer train when they sail through Alaska on Queen
Elizabeth this summer.
Cunard and Rocky Mountaineer offer guests
the chance to enjoy the spectacular Alaska landscape both by land and by
sea.
Guests will be able to extend their Alaska voyage with either a four-night
pre-voyage train experience or a three-night post-voyage package,
depending on the sailing date. The three-night Rocky Mountaineer
tour takes guests on an eastbound journey from Vancouver to Calgary, while the four-night train tour goes
the opposite direction and gives guests an additional day of
sightseeing in Banff, where the
highlight is an impressive trip on the Banff Gondola.
Rocky Mountaineer Pre- and
Post-Cruise Tours:
- The three-night post-voyage tours starts at $2,850 per person based on double occupancy,
available on two Japan to
Alaska voyages (Q318A, Q319) and
four Alaska voyages roundtrip out
of Vancouver ranging from 10 to 11
nights (Q323, Q324, Q325, Q326).
- The four-night pre-voyage tour starts at $3,250 per person based on double occupancy,
available on three Alaska voyages
roundtrip out of Vancouver ranging
from seven to 10 nights (Q321, Q322, Q323).
Guests traveling on the legendary Rocky Mountaineer train – the
only passenger rail service on this historic rail route – will
experience expansive glass-dome windows and luxurious coaches.
Breathtaking 180-degree panoramic views of snow-capped mountains,
shimmering lakes and winding canyons are offered from all angles.
Renowned for its GoldLeaf Service, Rocky Mountaineer offers an
onboard dining room where guests can indulge in culinary delights
inspired by the region with a new 2023 menu as well as full
complimentary bar service.
"We are excited to partner with Rocky Mountaineer so our
passengers can enjoy the spectacular scenery and Alaskan wildlife
in the utmost of luxury both by land and by sea," said Matt Gleaves, VP Commercial, Cunard,
North America.
Queen Elizabeth's summer in
Alaska will be a season full of
adventure and discovery, with the onboard Insights program
featuring experts from the Royal Canadian Geographical Society, TV
personality Bear Grylls, and famed explorer Mensun Bound, to name a
few. Other highlights on Queen
Elizabeth include the bespoke Alaska Afternoon Tea, the
elegant Ice White Ball and a new dining concept called Frontier,
which offers a taste of Alaska.
