More than just the home of maple syrup and moose, Canada is a destination full of treasures. It offers something for every traveller with breathtaking landscapes, charming cities and rich native cultures. Whether you’re seeking outdoor adventures or cultural immersion, the diversity of experiences is endless. Get ready to explore a land where nature and culture come together in unforgettable ways!
Drive the iconic Icefields Parkway
If Mother Nature had a runway, it would be the Icefields Parkway. It’s the drive of a lifetime with more than 230 kilometres of double-lane highway, dominated by soaring mountain peaks and vast sweeping valleys.
Along the way you can enjoy photo opportunities of emerald lakes, hiking picturesque trails or even joining cycling tours. From Banff National Park to Jasper National Park, these are a few Popular Stops Along the Way. Viewing wildlife is also popular as there’s incredible diversity in the area so look out for lynx cats, tan-coloured elk, muscular grizzly bears and more.
Experience the Icefields Parkway for yourself on our Ultimate Yellowstone, Alaska & Canada package. You’ll have the chance to voyage the Inside Passage aboard Princess Cruises’ Discovery Princess, explore Yellowstone National Park and more.
Uncover the best of Vancouver
Vancouver really has a thing for showing off with something for everyone from mountain peaks to ocean views. For a dose of culture, you can’t miss bustling Chinatown with its colourful murals, classical Chinese gardens and traditional tea houses. Embrace local history by photographing the Steam Clock in Gastown, learning about First Nations peoples at the Museum of Anthropology or seeing the bronze Lord Stanley Statue in Stanley Park.
Feeling hungry? With so many Places To Eat you can enjoy local flavours at craft breweries, waterfront restaurants and eclectic cafes. Immerse yourself in Vancouver’s culinary scene by sampling candied salmon, maple cream cookies and cheesy poutine.
Explore the wonders of Lake Louise
Lake Louise is proof that Canada does scenery better than anywhere else in the world. In summer, you’ll see red canoes float on the glacial waters and fearless rock climbers in the distance. Enjoy the chance to ride the sightseeing gondola, hike through idyllic landscapes and visit the Wildlife Interpretive Centre.
During the winter months, Lake Louise turns into an enchanting white wonderland. Look out for horse-led sleighs and ice skaters across the frozen lake. With temperatures dropping to -6° in December, you’ll know it’s cold because your maple syrup will be frozen before it hits your pancakes!
Book our Alaska & Canada Discovery tour to journey into the jaw-dropping Rocky Mountains, stand in awe of turquoise Lake Louise and cruise the Inside Passage. You’re bound to leave with a full camera roll after living out every Canadian adventure on your bucket list.
Gaze upon the northern lights
If Canada’s winter air doesn’t take your breath away, the northern lights will. You’ll never forget the first time you witness the dancing colours that light the night sky. From emerald greens to pops of pink, you’ll want to keep your camera at the ready. It’s possible to see the lights during all four seasons almost anywhere in Canada but if you want the best chance, this is Where To See The Magic Of The Northern Lights.
It’s worth remembering that the northern lights can be difficult to predict but the later in the season and the further north in latitude, the greater the chances to observe the aurora borealis.
Got your sights on the northern lights? Adventure awaits for you and a friend on 2 for 1 Canadian Arctic. There’s never been a better time to discover icy wonders on Lady Franklin Island, visit the remote Arctic outpost of Hebron and more.
Meet the friendly locals
Canada is often thought as one of the world’s friendliest and most welcoming country. You’ll find that there’s a strong sense of community, a multicultural atmosphere and incredible inclusivity. Even in big cities like Toronto or Vancouver, much of Canada has a small-town feel where being friendly is just part of daily life. The people here are genuinely helpful and have an openness towards strangers. This is ideal if you’re in need of directions or tips for local places to eat.
This stems from the many Indigenous cultures in Canada that emphasise respect, kindness and community values. Connect with native communities to learn about their rich history and rituals on the Northwest Passage Expedition. Discover the traditional life, hunting practices and crafting of the Inuvialuit people on Herschel Island, Gjoa Haven and Cambridge Bay.
