We are looking to travel 2027 (Aug/Sept) - is this a good time? The cost I am seeing on the site is around the 6k to 6.5k this includes tour and cruise? Also can things be added like Denal NP or the Rocky mountaineer?

For Heart of the Canadian Rockies with Alaska Cruise 2027 departures you are looking closer to $7-$7.5k per person twin share for costing depending on the departure date. This is inclusive of the inside cabin on the cruise. If you are wanting to include the Rocky Mountaineer I would recommend the tour Canadian Masterpiece with Rocky Mountaineer and Alaska Cruise. We don't have any September departures but we do have some in August. You will be looking at approximately $11.5k per person twin share. This is for the Silverleaf on the train and inside cabin on the cruise. Neither of these tours include Denali National Park as the cruise only goes as far as Skagway, but we could look at seeing if we could match it up with one of our Alaska tours that does visit the National Park.

can you please provide more details about the Canada Alaska tour? Which dates in September are available? What does the price $5579 include? Thanks

2 departures in September. 10 September - $6495pp twin share, 17 September - $6415pp twin share. Pricing includes tour and inside cabin on the cruise. Have It All package is included on the cruise. Prepaid gratuities for land tour only (not cruise) is $185pp.

I was wondering if you match solo travellers to share a room because I would be open to that.

We do not match solo travellers to share a room on any of our tours.

I would like to find out if there is an additional charge for single room accommodation for this tour

There is an additional fee of $2,104 for solo travelers for that date. We would need to submit a request to our Operations teams to see if we would have the availability to accommodate a single for that date.

What are the hotel taxes for this tour?

The hotel tax is included in the overall tour price quoted.

What is the cancellation policy for the tour in case I cannot make it?

Cancellation policies can vary, but generally involve a fee that increases closer to the departure date. To get the specific cancellation charges applicable for your booking, you can reach out to us via the Ask a Question button.

Is breakfast included in the tour?

Continental breakfast is generally included at the hotels used in the tour, but this cannot be guaranteed for every hotel.

How do I apply for a U.S. visa if necessary?

You should contact a visa processing center, which can guide you through the application process. For specifics, you can reach out to us via the Ask a Question button.

Do I need a visa for entering Canada and the United States during the tour?

Yes, visitors to Canada and the U.S. will typically require a visa or travel authorization, depending on their nationality.

Are medical coverage and trip cancellation insurance included in the price?

Trip cancellation and medical coverage are not included but can be purchased separately.

The Tour Director Alma was very knowledgeable and had personal stories to share. Although there was a glitch in our booking, she quickly and seamlessly fixed it to make sure we got our hotel rooms along the way. Overall provided excellent service on our tour. Mesgana, our coach driver, did an amazing job in providing us with a smooth and safe bus ride. His driving skills were shown in tight turning areas, like narrow city roads and parking lots . They both worked very well as a team..Show more

I have been to the Canadian Rockies with another supplier, and I was so amazed with the beauty of that part of Canada so I recommended it to my clients. The itinerary for them is good, and according to them , it it became disgusting because of the tour guide they also mentioned that the entire group was not happy and very disappointed with the guide. I'm wondering now how you select your guide, and should I use Cosmos again if you provide a guide like that one that they had? I was really so ashamed especially that this is the first time that they joined a guided tour.Show more
