Cunard and Rocky Mountaineer form Land and Sea Partnership in Alaska

Cunard is now offering passengers the experience of a lifetime! For guests traveling to Alaska aboard Queen Elizabeth this summer, the cruise line will offer guests the opportunity to take a ride on the renowned Rocky Mountaineer train.

Depending on the sailing date, passengers can extend their Alaskan vacation with a four-night pre-voyage train ride or a three-night post-voyage package. The three-night eastbound Rocky Mountaineer tour will begin in Vancouver and end in Calgary, while the four-night tour begins in Calgary and ends in Vancouver. The four-night Rocky Mountaineer tour also gives guests an extra day of exploring in Banff, where guests will embark on a sightseeing trip on the Banff Gondola.

Pre & Post-Voyage Itineraries 

The three-night post-voyage tour pricing begins at $2,850 per person and is based on double occupancy. The add-on is available on two Japan-to-Alaska voyages (Q318A, Q319) and four 10 to 11-night Alaska voyages roundtrip out of Vancouver (Q323, Q324, Q325, Q326).

The four-night pre-voyage tour pricing begins at $3,250 per person and is based on double occupancy. The add-on is available on three 7 to 10-night Alaska cruises roundtrip from Vancouver (Q321, Q322, Q323).
