The trip was excellent, the train journey was great, though if you blinked you may miss any of the wildlife. Two days was sufficient. The wait to get into Vancouver Station (1.5hrs), literally sitting outside as freight trains take priority, was tiresome and somewhat spoiled the last day. Alaska trip was first cruise and I wouldn't say I'm a fan as felt cooped up on board (didn't help that we were ill for two days as were a lot of people on the ship - germs spread fast). HOWEVER, it was an amazing experience.

Rocky Mountaineer was excellent, the Alaska Cruise a curate’s egg. Alaska cruise, mediocre entertainment, variable service and expensive excursions. The talks were excellent and food good. Skagway was not visited with an interesting excuse. Haines was a poor substitute, the guy taking the tour asked us, ‘What is the itinerary?’Tour manager very efficient.
