Canada & Alaska Destination Planner 2016-17 by Canada Traveller

CANADA & ALASKA Destination Planner 2016 – 2017

Canada Traveller

– Experience the Difference Bears, whales and other wildlife are some of the major reasons that we love to travel to Canada. To be able to see what we can’t see in our own country is a major draw card and puts Canada on so many of our bucket lists.

That you want to travel to Canada goes without saying. Where, when and how you want to experience Canada is another question.

Canada is a huge country with amazing diversity throughout, seasonal changes and starkly different landscapes, huge wilderness areas and sophisticated cities.

For so long it has been expected that everyone should see Canada the same way through the same tried and true tourist paths.

At Canada Traveller we decided that Canada was too special a destination to limit its potential to what other people think you should see. Hence why at Canada Traveller we sell all of Canada and with our help you have the opportunity to make up an itinerary which allows you to experience the Canada that you want to see.

The Canada Traveller brochure provides you with all the necessary information to decide what you want to do; and we, in conjunction with our travel agent partners, provide the guidance to planning your holiday.

So whether your Canadian trip includes one of the great train trips, Niagara Falls, the grizzlies of the great bear forest, the cosmopolitan shopping and great restaurants of Toronto and Vancouver, or all of the above, we can assist you in your planning and make sure it runs smoothly.

Every time you visit Canada you realise how much more you want to see and how many unique experiences you would like to be a part of.

Having been fortunate enough to have travelled to many parts of Canada I can say that each time it reminds me of how much I haven’t seen and how much more I would like to experience. I have enjoyed all aspects of Canada, the people are friendly and engaging and the scenery compelling.

The seasons add another dimension. Summertime is a great time to travel and is when most of our guests head to Canada.

Winter time is something else again, such a contrast to our own experiences. Frozen lakes and rivers, snow on the ground, great skiing, underground shopping; maybe even a white Christmas. Winter is truly one of the best times to be in Canada. Autumn brings the famous Fall Foliage of eastern Canada which has to be experienced to be believed.

Montreal and Quebec are beautiful cities with their strong French influence. It is fascinating to see people moving from English with a Canadian accent to perfect French like they are the same language.

The Canadian Arctic is a massive land area with very few human inhabitants but good populations of polar bear and beluga whales.

Vancouver Island has its quaint villages and resident Orca populations and of course it is close to Vancouver, one of the great cities with its rugged mountain surrounds uniquely complimented by its beautiful harbour.

So read on and if you don’t find exactly what you want we will find it for you. We are recognised as a specialist travel provider with our well known Cruise World brand, in its 22nd year of providing the widest range of cruise holidays available, standing alongside our Canada Traveller tailor made customised holidays in Canada.

We look forward to welcoming you on a wonderful Canadian experience with Canada Traveller.

There are theories. Maybe it’s our northern home, where for years we learned to make our own fun. Maybe it’s a legacy of entrepreneurs dreaming up oddities: the continent’s first and wildest Fringe theatre festival, a shopping mall that once had more submarines than the Canadian navy. We’re a big city with small town values; a vibrant urban centre in the heart of wilderness. From close encounters with free roaming bison to surfing indoors to taking your taste buds on a journey to some of the hottest craft beer taprooms, hyper-local bistros and indie bakeries in Canada, you’ll find there’s a uniqueness to how Edmontonians do ordinary things. One thing’s for sure-if you’re looking for an unforgettable, or original experience you’ll find it here. Peruse a list of activities and poke around ExploreEdmonton.com
