WAVES 125 Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Just had an email from Bolsover about the Queen Elizabeth going to Alaska in 2019. Dont think they have been there for a while so i wonder if its going to be popular? Wonder if P&O will follow? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mermaid Jessica 7 Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 This looks like a dream cruise, Alaka is on the bucket list. WAVES 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
angel 121 Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Always fancied Alaska may take a look at this for 2019 WAVES 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bumble Bee 107 Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 The itineraries are incredible. Something different to consider for sure. It's one of those once in a life time places for many people. WAVES 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Anchors-aweigh 49 Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 I agree - if possible one shoud make this inside passage journey at least once in a lifetime. WAVES 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
afcandrew 369 Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Alaska is definitely on my wish-list and possibly for 2019. When I do it though, I want to do a land tour of Alaska for a week as well, so these itineraries don't really do it for me. I will do it with Princess or Holland America.

eyes12 82 Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 looks fantastic and on Cunard what more does one want! WAVES 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eyes12 82 Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 does anyone know if they do the tours with the cruise i cant see them? WAVES 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cruise chef 866 Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Just had a quick look at this, not only are Cunard venturing to Alaska for the 1st time in many years but they are also selling combination packages with the Rocky Mountaineer train and looking at this also in Gold Leaf, had I not already had something big planned this looks really appealing WAVES 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As Cruise Chef has said, they seem to be doing 3 and 5 night Rocky Mountaineer tours pre or post cruise on certain departures. They don't seem to be doing any land-tours in Alaska though.

*Dancing Queen* 394 Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 It wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea but post cruise we spent a couple of days in Vancouver ( what a wonderful city this is ) we then hired a car and drove through the Rockies to Calgary, it was an amazing experience and is up there with one of the best holidays ever.

afcandrew 369 Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 I have been lucky enough to visit Vancouver and agree what a lovely city it is. Its funny what you remember - I recall that one night we ate in Gas Town (the 'old town' area of the city) and the restaurant had a 'Lobster Dinner' on special. My partner hated getting his hands mucky when eating and asked me if it would all be prepared, ready to eat. Although I knew otherwise, I said "yes of course it will". When the whole Lobster came up he was quite fazed but a Canadian on the next table took him through how to crack each bit and get the most out of it. He loved it in the end! Happy memories.

Totally agree! We flew into Calgary - hired a car for five days - drove the Icefields Parkway through some of the Canadian Rockies [walked upon the Athabasca glacier] and then from Calgary we flew to Vancouver for two days before cruising the inside passage with Holland-America. One of our best holdays ever ....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
