Experience the majestic wilderness of Canada & Alaska with APT Tours

Land tours: Immersive discovery at every turn
Explore the heart of Canada with APT’s expertly guided land tours. Walk amongst the dramatic peaks of Banff and Jasper National Parks, witness the turquoise clarity of Lake Louise, and stroll the cobbled streets of Québec or Montréal. APT’s Signature Experiences add an extra layer of meaningful insight to your trip – these include meeting a retired Mountie to hear their stories over morning coffee or stepping onto the ancient Athabasca Glacier. With each itinerary featuring ‘Freedom of Choice’ sightseeing or dining, you can delve deeper into your passions, from gourmet meals to local art and nature walks. You will stay in iconic, centrally located hotels such as the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise and Fairmont Banff Springs, resting each night in surroundings that are as memorable as the destinations themselves.

Ocean cruises: Alaska’s untamed frontier

For those who crave the rhythm of the ocean, APT’s Alaska cruise extensions invite you to experience the sublime beauty of the Inside Passage. Sail past calving glaciers, forested islands, and dramatic fjords, all from the comfort of your luxury vessel. This is cruising at its most exclusive - think small-ship comfort, locally inspired dining, and expert-guided shore excursions that bring you face-to-face with the unique wildlife and incredible history of America’s last frontier. Gourmet cuisine and attentive service are standard, with every element designed to help you truly immerse yourself in this extraordinary landscape.

Rail tours: The legendary Rocky Mountaineer

A rail journey with APT on the Rocky Mountaineer is a highlight reserved for those who appreciate the finest things in travel. Enjoy GoldLeaf Service, where glass-domed coaches offer unmatched vistas, while gourmet meals and attentive staff add to your sense of privilege as you roll through the Canadian Rockies. Watch as glacial rivers, soaring peaks, and mountain forests unfold just beyond your window, all while indulging in regionally inspired dining and complimentary drinks.

Small group journeys: Travel in good company

Selected APT departures offer the exclusivity of small group travel with fewer than 24 guests on select tours, ensuring a more personal and flexible exploration of Canada's highlights. With this kind of intimacy, your expert guide can take you a little further off the beaten track, offering experiences tailored to your interests and the opportunity to form genuine connections with fellow travellers. Your accommodation and cuisine remain peerless, while the smaller group size comes with enhanced access and ease, especially in destination hotspots.
