Hudson Bay, CanadaHudson Bay, Nunavut, Canada

Watching the Northern Lights dance in the sky in Yukon or Manitoba, seeing orcas cavort in the waters off Victoria, marvelling at polar bears on the desolate frozen landscape at Hudson Bay, and holding your breath while you spot bears in the Great Bear Rainforest—Canada abounds in one-of-a-kind wonders.

From the Pacific coast to the wild Atlantic, its cities are joyously diverse, spanning alluring prairies, farmlands, and idyllic forests.

There is no place like Alaska—untouched, rugged and staggeringly beautiful. A place where dog sledding is a way of getting around, and where you’ll find some of the best cruise routes on the planet. Our advisors recommended sailing the Inside Passage, with shore excursions to glaciers and quirky towns like the capital, Juneau.

  • “Train is a wonderful way to really see Canada, whether enjoying the scenic luxuries of an elegant train through the Rockies or venturing through Canada on a spider web of routes. I love the combination of lustrous landscapes passing by the windows with delicious meals, accompanied by Canadian wines and excellent service, and recommend it as a favoured way to travel.”

  • “Words can’t describe what it’s like to see bears in front of you, feasting on fat salmon they plucked from the stream. Bear viewing excursions in Alaska are popular with cruise passengers, and apart from the bears, the sheer amount of glorious forest and the mirror-smooth waterways is mind-blowing.”
