This holiday begins with a scenic ride to Seattle aboard the Coast Starlight train where suite accommodations await along with plenty of time to enjoy 'The Emerald City'. You then travel north to Vancouver along the Puget Sound aboard the new 'Talgo' train, a delightful trip and in Vancouver, you'll enjoy two-nights at the ultra-luxe Hyatt Regency along with a welcome dinner, sightseeing and a visit to Queen Elizabeth Park with Afternoon Tea.

Next, you board the new Whistler Mountaineer, bound for Whistler on a stunningly beautiful ride to this popular resort destination. With two full days in Whistler, guests have plenty of time to enjoy the European-style cafes, intriguing shops, biking or four of Canada's top-rated golf courses.

Saving the best for last, you then board Holland America's new ms Ryndam at Vancouver for a rare Pacific Coastal voyage south to San Diego, a nice way to sample traditional Ocean travel, with a full day stop in Victoria, BC en route. Onboard there is as much, or as little to do as you like and we cannot imagine a nice way to travel home. We have included dinner one evening in the superlative Pinnacle Grill as well as a farewell cocktail party.
