Tour Overview

From summit to the sea, this once-in-a-lifetime tour gives us a window onto two of the most astounding landscapes on the planet - the mirror-image lakes and snow-topped spires of the Canadian Rockies, and the frozen glaciers and ice-carved fjords of Alaska. Extreme scenery combined with exclusive comfort - we travel from Jasper to Vancouver aboard the glass-domed carriages of Rocky Mountaineer, switching to cabins on board Holland America Line’s Koningsdam for a seven-night cruise along the Alaskan Coast. Looking out for breaching whales, circling bald eagles and lumbering bears along the way.

Expand All

Day 1

Titan’s VIP door-to-door travel service collects you from home for your flight to Calgary.

Day 2

Canada’s third largest city is coolly cosmopolitan, with a small-town cowboy feel. After a quick tour, we get on the road - driving across the prairies and into the rugged frosty peaks and pine-fringed teal lakes of the Canadian Rockies.
Canada’s first national park - and some might argue the original and the best - we get to appreciate the size and splendour of Banff National Park sooner rather than later. Switching to cable car, we soar high above the alpine valley floor to the summit of Sulphur Mountain - so called for the hot springs at its base. Afterwards, we continue to Banff town - a lively little resort town with snow globe good looks. You’re then free to explore Banff’s alpine charms, après ski style restaurants and outdoor shops.

Day 3

This morning we take a scenic drive around Banff, leaving the afternoon at leisure or to join optional excursions to explore more of the pristine and dramatic beauty of UNESCO-listed Banff National Park.

Day 4

Canada’s most iconic and evocative image, we drive to the ‘Jewel of the Rockies’ to photograph the mirror-image mountain peaks reflected in Lake Louise’s glassy turquoise waters.
Back on the road, we start our journey along the Icefields Parkway - a 230km highway that runs parallel with the Continental Divide and connects the two great national parks of the Rockies, Banff and Jasper. Punctuated by luminous lakes, evergreen forests and churning waterfalls, this is one of the most jaw-dropping drives in the world. Home to over 100 glaciers, we transfer to an Ice Explorer all-terrain vehicle to drive across the surface of the mighty Athabasca Glacier - a 12,000-year-old ice field.
A small town surrounded by epic wilderness landscapes, Jasper is the jumping off point for Rocky Mountain trails and rapid-filled rivers of its namesake national park.

Day 5

Today is at leisure to explore more of Jasper or join optional excursions to experience this UNESCO-listed national park.

Day 6

One of the most famous train journeys in the world, this morning we roll out of Jasper on board the luxurious Rocky Mountaineer. Looking out for bald eagles overheard and giant elk on the passing riverbanks, we traverse the Rocky Mountains - flanked on all sides by deep green ravines, snow-dusted ridges and brilliant blue rivers. As the Canadian Rockies retreat behind us, the scenery gives way to a changing landscape of cascading mountain-fed waterfalls, red-rock hoodoos and historic ranchlands. Pulling into the peaceful riverside city of Kamloops this evening, we disembark and transfer to our hotel.

Day 7

Reboarding Rocky Mountaineer, we wind our way west - with surprising desert-like river canyons morphing into fertile green farmlands and coastal rainforests. A day of epic changing landscapes and epicurean delights, eating and drinking is a big part of our Rocky Mountaineer experience with chef-prepared meal and drinks included.
Rolling into Vancouver, we disembark and transfer to our hotel. The evening is free to explore.

Day 8

With the green running trails of Stanley Park and boat-dotted waterfront giving way to a backdrop of glittering glass towers and circling snow-flecked mountains, Vancouver is naturally stunning. Regularly wearing the crown as the most liveable city in the world, we discover why on a city tour this morning.
Waving goodbye to dry land, this afternoon we board our ship bound for Alaska. Few places afford access to such raw natural beauty and rare wildlife as Alaska. Carved by giants, with overflowing glaciers, mist-cloaked fjords and forested national parks bigger than most countries - the only way to grasp the size and undiluted beauty of Alaska is from the ocean.

Day 9

One of the most scenic sea lanes in the world, we sail between the steep rainforested cliffs of Canada’s Inside Passage. The waters are calm and sheltered, so keep watch for whales and seals breaking the smooth glassy surface, and brown bears skirting the rocky shoreline.

Day 10

Look out for bears in the temperate forests and seals on the floating ice floes as we sail towards Juneau, the stunningly located state capital of Alaska. Lined with colourful clapperboard houses and hemmed by cloud-covered forests, Juneau is the perfect place to wander and get a taste for the slower pace of life in America’s 49th state. There are also optional excursions available to take a whale-watching trip, pan for gold or visit the Mendenhall Glacier.

Day 11

Made famous during the Klondike gold rush, today Skagway showcases buildings dating from the gold rush era. It’s also the access point for the White Pass and Yukon Railroad, a fascinating journey through some of the state’s most ruggedly beautiful terrain.

Day 12

A UNESCO site that’s home to more than 1,000 glaciers, the frozen world of Glacier Bay National Park is home too, to once-in-a-lifetime moments. The moment a humpback whale breaches the ice-peppered water, or the stillness is broken by the creaking of a glacier before sheets of ice plunge into the icy waters (ice calving and is both a sight and sound to behold).

Day 13

A spiritual land cloaked in Native Alaskan nations traditions; the human history of Alaska is just as important to understand as the natural history. On top of being picture-postcard beautiful with a rainbow of stilted-wooden waterfront houses, Alaska’s ‘First City’ of Ketchikan is one of the best places to learn about Native Alaskan culture. A highlight is visiting the intricately carved totems at Totem Bight State Historical Park.

Day 14

We start our journey south back to Vancouver, cruising back through the Inside Passage on the lookout for more wildlife.

Day 15

We wake up in Vancouver, with some free time to explore the city’s cosmopolitan charms and reflect on our incredible journey before transferring to the airport for your overnight flight back to the UK.

Day 16

Upon arrival, your Titan vehicle will be waiting for the journey home.

Recently returned from the great...

08-Apr-2024

Recently returned from the great Indian rail journey.My wife and I could hardly believe the value for money.From pick ups from Durham to Heathrow and back,to the number of coach and train journeys , quality hotels, great choice of food throughout and our first night in Heathrow Hilton. What really made our trip a success was our guide, Prashant,who managed a party of twenty four very varied, sometimes a little unpredictable travellers with ease.Nothing was too much trouble for him and as a group we gelled and warmed to Prashant as he kept us safe, well informed and a little entertained by his mix of authority and humanity.Where do I begin with the tour itself ? India,a country of extremes.Poverty,wealth,order,chaos.Sometimes bleak,often breathtakingly beautiful.The people,the cities,art, architecture,flaura and fauna.Delhi,Jaipur, Amritsar,Agra, Ranthambore, Chandigarh and the icing on the cake that is Shimla. An absolute masterclass of man versus nature,the railway and buildings are an unbelievable feat,but wait until you see the dual carriageway being built on the mountainside.🤯I could go on for a very long time but I'll just post some photos.Thanks to Titan,thanks to the excellent Prashant and and a massive thanks to the other twenty two travellers who helped shape our holiday of a lifetime.🏁💜

Exceptional trip and service by Titan

04-Oct-2022

Just returned from a fabulous tour of California & the golden west. It’s a full on tour with early starts but you see so much varied landscape from the ocean to the desert to Yosemite. My 2nd tour with Titan & my first solo tour. Thoroughly enjoyed it & met some great people. Grand Canyon was amazing would definitely recommend

Not merely a holiday, rather a memorable experience

29-Dec-2022

I have used other travel operators; this was the 1st time of touring with Titan----Israel, The Holy Land, from being collected from home and returned at the end of the holiday this was an unforgettable experience; the Tour Manager, a PhD Archaeology made the whole tour so interesting, he enlightened us throughout each day from an historical, archeological and Biblical viewpoint, bringing each site we visited come to life, and went over and above his remit escorting us for evening trips around the local area; thanks also to our very patient driver who coped with the very busy traffic; our hotels were good, professional and pleasant staff and really good food; I would recommend Titan to anyone looking for a fascinating tour with excellent efficient service thank you Titan nor just for a holiday for a memorable experience

We had a 2 weeks fantastic holiday arranged by Titan to Vietnam and Cambodia. Excellent,well organised Throughly enjoyed. Very good service by Vietnam Airlines, if you could afford book it in premium economy. We had a door to door service , picked up to airport from home and then dropped at home from airport, very convinient. Particular credit goes to our guide THI who is a caring, knolegeable, friendly down to earth man who made our trip a memorable one. I will not hesitate to book another holiday through Titan, their staff are friendly and helpful

We had a fantastic holiday...

26-May-2023

We had a fantastic holiday in Mississippi. Right from our chauffeur driven car picking us up to the return journey, we had a great time. The first hotel The Gaylord was amazing,absolutely huge,first class. The second The Double tree in Memphis unfortunately wasn't, the hotel was tired and very basic, the only plus was where it is situated in the centre of town, we were only there two nights so it wasn't to bad. The American Queen Steam Boat was first class all the way, thoroughly enjoyed the seven nights sailing down the Mississippi. The last hotel the Sheraton New Orleans was very comfortable too. Our guide throughout our time away was Laura Tuttle. she was amazing, very knowledgeable, and helpful. We also had a coach driver Guil, who went over and beyond to give you the best time. Other coach guides included Jim,who was so funny, and also very knowledgeably. Very entertaining throughout. The entire itinerary itinerary was very well thought out, included a huge variety of visits to different Interesting locations. Highly recommend using Titan for all your holiday destinations.

Review on “Cairo, Alexandra and...

26-Feb-2025

Review on “Cairo, Alexandra and a Nile Cruise" – 11 nights with Titan / Saga. 13-02-25 Overall the trip went very well, good journey from home with a car picking me up & transporting me from Cumbria to Heathrow & an adequate flight to Cairo with Egypt-Air. Met by our Tour Manager on arrival & transferred to our hotel. Hotel Swiss Inn Pyramids Resort was good Included Tours of The Pyramids & Alexandria were adequate Internal Transfer to Luxor was OK Our ship, The Nile Plaza was wonderful & the cruise fantastic with wonderful food, decent cabins & excellent staff. The included trips were well organised The flight home was OK with nice car & driver to take me back home. Pro’s Professional Tour Manager & knowledgeable Egyptologist for the duration of the trip. Decent hotel Excellent Nile Cruise ship serving fantastic food and excellent facilities including massage provided by very provisional masseur / masseuse Con’s Cairo hotel poorly located in October 5th City Scheduled trips often rearranged to generate time for optional extra money ones Optional trips sold at very high prices 3 unscheduled time consuming trips, an Alabaster outlet, an essential oils outlet & a Papyrus outlet – Prices in all 3 were exorbitantly high. Tour Manager & Egyptologist Tip expectation level of $60 / $80 each per person from a group of 35 – Even at the lower figure the tip alone (Without commission from the outlets & optional tours etc) works out at almost the ANNUAL salary of a Civil Engineer – Source https://www.timedoctor.com/blog/average-salary-in-egypt/ Overall summery Overall the trip offers excellent value for money, especially the pick-up & return home by car (Only one diversion to collect a couple en-route, total journey 8 hours Cumbria to Heathrow including stops) The trips included in the package were excellent as were the Hotel & Nile Cruiser. The group size of 35 was somewhat high but I’ll probably use Titan / Saga again &, with certain caveats as mentioned above, recommend them.

THE GREAT INDIAN RAIL JOURNEY!!!!...

03-Feb-2024

THE GREAT INDIAN RAIL JOURNEY!!!! (Dreadful) Avoid Titan and Saga at all costs. False descriptions of the tour and dreadful administration Returned to the UK last evening with a great sigh of relief after the worst holiday ever. 1. No block booking of airplane seats by Titan. (Husband and I sat apart on the long, overnight flight) 2. Unable to pre-book seats as Titan reference numbers did not coincide with anything. 3. Husband and I not sat together on any of the train journeys! In fact, on one occasion I was sat, alone on a sleeper carriage, a couple of carriages away from the rest of the group who were scattered over two or three carriages. Terrifying as a female to be sat alone in the midst of noisy locals!!!!! (Eventually the guide, Rahi, did come to rescue me and found a seat near the main group) 4. The guide, Rahi, would usually get off the coach and begin walking off without waiting for all the group to disembark the coach. (Spot the guide in the crowd!) 5. The guide, Rahi, refused to use any identifying prop such as a flag, hat, jacket or umbrella. Frightening to be in the manic crowds of Delhi and other crowded places to be unable to see the guide. 6. NO AUDIO HEADSET system on any excursion 7. The guide, Rahi, didn’t face the whole group, but stood sideways on and was unable to be heard by the majority. 8. OUTRAGEOUS behaviour by the guide when he enquired as to the whereabouts of my husband, whom I explained was in bed with an upset stomach and was feeling unwell. Rahi DID A REVERSE AIR PUNCH😳😳. This was in response to an earlier conversation when my husband had complained about our separate seating arrangements. TOTALLY UNPROFESSIONAL 9. When we arrived at Heathrow to find our aircraft seats were not allocated, we were advised to speak to our guide on arrival at Delhi. Rahi merely shrugged his shoulders and said he couldn’t do anything. 10. Tour pace incorrect - gruelling pace and only half a day relaxation due to the guide, Rahi, throwing in visits to shops and factories fie him to earn his commission as I head him tell another!!!!!!! 11. When off loaded the return flight due to illness, we were unable to get in contact with Titan/Saga. Left in Delhi without an hotel or flight!!! Found accommodation but didn’t remove shoes or clothes due to the poor standard. Final summary: Poor, disappointing, inefficient, incompetent, misleading, misrepresentations, are just a few words to describe.

Luxury VIP door to door...

17-Jul-2023

Luxury VIP door to door travel! I don't think so....Titan sent a Toyota Prius uber to Stanstead for a return journey to Newport, S Wales. 4 adults plus luggage! the experience was anything but luxurious. Contacted Titan on the return journey and since return. They simply didn't seem interested and offered us a £300 travel discount off a future trip! After a lot of emails they converted it to a £300 cash refund. Give it a lot of thought before booking !
