Montréal > New York City

A capital idea This sojourn through eastern Canada and the USA not only takes you through some of the most iconic locations in North America, you’ll also get the rare opportunity to visit both national capitals. Ottawa and Washington D.C. have much in common. Both began as small frontier towns and were quickly upgraded to capital cities. Both are elegant examples that reflect their colonial influences as much as their distinctive national cultures. And these are hardly the only high points in an itinerary that will also take you to cultivated centres like Montréal and Québec City.

Nature’s masterpiece In the winter, North America is painted in subdued tones, as if dabbed in watercolours. In summer, it’s as bright and breezy as warm pastel pigments. However, it’s in the autumn that you’ll see it at its most beautiful. Autumn is painted in an entirely different palette. With its mauve browns and rusty reds, this season has a more textured look, as if it has been created in oils, with the rough brushstrokes of an impressionistic masterpiece. At every point in this itinerary, starting in Montréal, progressing through Québec City and on to Pennsylvania and New York, you’ll get to witness nature’s magic at work, painted on every tree, every mountain, river and city.

Knight Inlet Lodge Knight Inlet Floating Lodge, Canada

Close encounters of the thrilling kind Venture to the wild and pristine region of Western Canada’s Pacific Northwest, where a select few are afforded the incomparable thrill of close encounters with some of North America’s most impressive creatures – massive grizzly bears, soaring bald eagles and pods of orcas. From May to late August, take to the waters to spot mothers and their cubs feeding on succulents and playing in the tall grass. What could be more delightful, and yet so thrilling at the same time? Come fall, in what is surely one of nature’s most dramatic spectacles, the spawning salmon turn crystal clear waters dark. The end of the salmon life cycle sparks the beginning of another ancient rhythm: the return to the rivers of the Urses Arctos Horribilis – the North American grizzly bear. From late August to mid-October, the grizzlies take to the salmon-filled rivers and offer a spectacular sight as dozens of giant grizzlies gather at the spawning channels to gorge on the salmon as they stack up in the river. Viewing at this time is, of course, from specially made viewing platforms. Whatever time you visit, you’ll find yourself in a world of amazing wonder.

The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth The Calgary Stampede is a not-for-profit community organisation that preserves and celebrates Calgary’s Western heritage, its cultures and its community spirit. The Calgary Stampede was started in 1912 by Guy Weadick, and was initially a six day spectacle titled the ‘Frontier Day Celebration and Championship’. Weadick envisioned a world-class rodeo competition that would celebrate the romance and culture of the disappearing ‘old west’. By 1923, it was known as the Calgary Exhibition and Stampede and held annually in July. This was also the inception of the delicious complimentary pancake breakfast tradition that is hosted each morning throughout the city during the Stampede. 2023 Departure Dates Journey code: CALS July 07 - 14
