EXPERIENCE THE BEST OF ALASKA BY LAND AND SEA WITH A CELEBRITY CRUISES CRUISETOUR

Alaska cruisetours – go beyond horizons.

To fully experience Alaska, discover its interior, where communities remain intimately connected to the land, where wild animals roam as they have for millennia and where native nations thrive. On an Alaska cruise, you’ll journey along the southeast coastline of Alaska, experiencing its glaciers, nature’s ever-changing and fragile masterpieces. But with a Celebrity Cruisetour, you’ll uncover so much more.

On the Kenai Peninsula, glacier-covered mountains descend into bays abundant with sea life. Journey north, and you’ll travel among the vast tundra and taiga forests of Denali National Park. A single road crosses this untouched wilderness, home to North America’s tallest peak and a stunning array of wildlife. Connect with Alaska’s Native Peoples and meet city dwellers who are as diverse as the landscapes they inhabit: from cosmopolitan espresso drinkers to anglers and mountaineers, all are part of the fascinating culture that is Alaska.

With a Celebrity Cruisetour, you’ll enjoy the best of Alaska, by combining a seven-night sailing along its southeastern coastline with a small-group tour into its magnificent inland destinations. Stay in the finest available lodges and embark on remote roads and railways in deluxe transportation. All with our local Alaskan Tour Directors, who are passionate about sharing their Alaska with you. Every aspect of your journey has been carefully curated for you to discover the Last Frontier — on your terms

Visit Jasper on a Canadian Rockies Cruisetour

Jasper is a tranquil mountain town recognizable for its log-cabin style, laidback energy, and beautiful natural surroundings. Discover the sprawling Jasper National Park and its cascading waterfalls, like Athabasca Falls and Sunwapta Falls. Embark on a boat tour from Jasper to Spirit Island, surrounded by the cerulean waters of Maligne Lake. Explore breathtaking mountainscapes on foot or from the comfort of a SkyTram. Back in town, discover the storied history of Canada’s railways and fur trade at the Jasper Yellowhead Museum.

After a cruise to Hubbard Glacier on Celebrity Eclipse®, or one of Millennium’s® Southbound Glacier sailings, extend the land portion of your cruise with a Canadian Rockies Cruisetour . Choose an itinerary that takes you deep into Alberta, bringing you close to the Canadian Rockies. You’ll spend a night in Jasper, soaking up everything the town has to show you.

Top Sights & Attractions on a Canadian Rockies Cruisetour to Jasper

Maligne lake.

Jasper National Park’s stunning glaciers feed their waters into the crystal-clear Maligne Lake, a sight of tranquility and centerpiece of Jasper’s beauty. Rent a canoe or kayak from the quaint Maligne Tours Boat House and head out on the lake, or take a 90-minute boat tour to Spirit Island, where a dedicated expert will guide you through the flora and fauna of the region.

Glacier Skywalk

The Columbia Icefield Skywalk, located about an hour south of Jasper, is a one-of-a-kind attraction. More than a lookout point, it’s a place to discover ancient stories of Columbia Icefield and spot wildlife, like quick-moving mountain goats, in their natural habitat. The glass floors of the skywalk open up to incredible views of the glaciers below. As dramatic cliffs drop below you, mountains and evergreens stretch as far as the eye can see.

Dark Sky Preserve

When you visit Jasper on a Cruisetour, don’t miss the chance to stargaze in one of the world’s largest Dark Sky Preserves. Witness the awe-inspiring display of innumerable twinkling stars in the expansive Canadian sky. Spend a while at the Planetarium Dome Theatre to participate in an interactive constellation experience.

Top Things to Do on a Canadian Rockies Cruisetour to Jasper

Visit jasper national park.

A Jasper trip is incomplete without exploring the national park it's famous for. Jasper National Park was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984, and ever since, Canadians and international travelers alike have flocked to the park for its glacier-fed waters, canyons, mountain biking trails, and activities for all ages. At 4,200 square miles, Jasper is the largest national park in all of the Canadian Rockies. 

Ride the Jasper SkyTram

Board the Jasper SkyTram for awe-inspiring views of the Canadian Rockies and its natural treasures below. This short jaunt along Canada’s highest aerial tramway will whisk you up over 7,000 feet in the air in less than 10 minutes. Marvel at the incredible vistas as you dine at the glass-enclosed mountain top restaurant, or hike to the summit of Whistlers Mountain and breathe in the crisp Canadian air. 

Hike Along the Canadian Rockies

There’s no shortage of day hikes in the Jasper National Park area, including Spirit Island and along Maligne Lake. Higher altitude and elevation make this region more challenging for inexperienced hikers, so be mindful of that as you’re planning where to hike.

Go on a Wildlife Tour

This part of Alberta is beloved by animal lovers for its bear and elk populations. When you visit Jasper, book a wildlife tour for a chance to see black bears, grizzlies, moose, and bighorn sheep.

Top Food & Drink Spots in Jasper

Comfort foods are a must after a day of hiking the Canadian Rockies or admiring Athabasca Falls. Sample locally sourced Canadian fare at Harvest Food & Drink. Indulge in authentic Italian cuisine at Cassios Italian Restaurant. At The Raven Bistro, you’ll find Mediterranean food catering to all kinds of diets in a trendy atmosphere. Get to know your neighbor at dinner, grab a drink at the bar, and try authentic Canadian cuisine throughout the town.

Culture and History of Jasper

Though Alaskan Athabascans and other communities lived in the area for hundreds of years prior to outside settlement, the town is named for Jasper Hawes, a settler who built a supply station called the Jasper House in 1813. The 19th-century fur trade through the Athabasca Pass placed Jasper on the map as a key route along the Canadian Rockies. Today, it’s one of Alberta’s biggest destinations for travelers and consistently rated one of the world’s most beautiful mountain towns. 

Visiting Jasper on an Alaska Cruise

When you visit Jasper on a Cruisetour, deluxe transportation and transfers come included, while your itinerary can remain independently adventurous. It’s a build-your-own experience that maps the logistics of transit for you, so you can simply enjoy every attraction of the stunning Canadian Rockies at your own pace. Downtown Jasper is conveniently walkable, making it the ideal place to explore on foot. If you book a tour to the surrounding attractions, transportation comes included. .

Shopping in Jasper

Like other destinations in Canada, Jasper is proud of its heritage, culture, and arts, so local vendors are eager to share their handmade goods, art, and souvenirs with travelers visiting their town. The gift shop at the Jasper Yellowhead Museum sells helpful information like guides and books of the area, and showcases the artwork of local and regional artists. Buy locally made Canadian products and gifts at the shop inside Jasper National Park’s visitor center.

Local Currency & Tipping Customs

The Canadian Dollar is the accepted currency in Jasper, but you’ll find credit cards are widely accepted in many establishments. Visa and Mastercard are the most commonly used by travelers to Canada. It’s recommended you tip anywhere between 15% to 20% at restaurants, bars, and for taxi drivers or rideshares. Because Jasper and the surrounding areas are popular attractions for tourists, many people working at cafes and restaurants rely on tips, and they’ll be highly appreciative of yours.

Pre-cruise tour Canadian Rockies on Celebrity ????

By pattyj 1204 , September 8, 2010 in Alaska

Recommended Posts

pattyj 1204

My husband wants to see the Canadian Rockies and combine it with and Alaskan Cruise with Celebrity. We have been to Alaska and took the land tour to Denali in Sept. 2002. We just loved it. I'm just wondering if anyone on the board has done the Canadian Rockies tour and what they thought of it. We are scheduled to go to Calgary, Banff,Jasper, Vancouver, Viktoria then back to Vancouver and pick up the Millie then off to Alaska. I'm hoping this will be as beautiful as our previous cruise was. Going in Aug. 20,2011. Thanks for the info.

Haven't done the Canadian Rockies with an organized tour, but have done it twice on our own, driving both times all the way from Michigan. :eek:

We loved our trips to the Canadian Rockies. Calgary is not my favorite place, but we timed our trip to be there for the famous Calgary Stampede which was a great experience. Jasper and Banff are very lovely areas.

The main thing I would look at for the tours is how much time you will actually have at each stop and how much time you will be on the road. You don't want to feel like you are on the road all the time just seeing things from the bus. You want to have time to actually experience the areas. The Canadian Rockies remains at the top of our favorite vacations. For my DH it is his number one favorite, for me it is my number two favorite (Alaska being at the top for me). I am sure you will absolutely love it!!!! It is a great combination vacation!!! I would not hesitate to go for it.

Budget Queen

I too have toured these areas independently. I suggest you make sure you have time at the destinations, 2 days is a min. in some. For Victoria, it is never a day trip. You would be best to read between the lines and make sure it's what you want. This area is more than looking out a bus/train window. The train is superior for scenery vs the highway, but having a car is a major benefit. I've taken the train one trip from Kingston but rented cars, which worked out. It was a major highlight for me, to get out of the "touristy" town areas, and see some of the beauty. :) The other trips were driving from Vancouver.

I too have toured the area independently. If you are able, I would suggest that alternative and skip Calgary. If you have the time, I would spend 2 days in Banff, travel up the Icefields Parkway (with stops along the way, including Lake Louise and the Columbia Glacier) and then spend two more days in Jasper. On the way back see if you could squeeze in Yoho National Park for a couple of hours. It would be worth it. The Canadian Rockies are spectacular. Please keep in mind if you have visited American National Parks the Canadian variety are different. Many parks were developed around existing towns so the areas are more commercial. There are still many areas to explore away from the t-shirt shops and restaurants.

Thanks for the info and the tips. We wanted to go with the Celebrity pre-tour only because we did the inside Alaska tour in 2002 that was such a major success. No worries about where to stay, how to get from place to place and Gordy could get all the photos he wanted without the stress of driving unfamilar roads. Looks like we are spending 2 days in Victoria, motorcoach from Calgary to Banff overnight there, bus to Jasper with overnight then to Vancouver by rail with an overnight on the train, then to Victoria by ferry. Got me thinking about the movie: Planes,Trains and Automobiles.

Thanks for the info, I'm going to recheck the schedule hoping that there will time enough to see some of the sights. Just a little under a year before we leave. Can't wait.

If this is all single days, then in my opinion, it is a poor choice. Banff is a least 2 days, and so is Lake Louise, for me. It is darn simple to drive. :) BUT, your priority is the no thought inclusive tour, so it would be doable for you.

I have looked at the Rocky Mountaineer rail trips, but they are so expensive. After seeing this thread today, I reserved a rental car with National from Vancouver to Calgary for one week post cruise next August. (I had considered flying to Anchorage for a one-week Alaska land trip post cruise, but I've already done that several times.) The car was cheap compared to what the lodging will cost, but I have almost a year to work on that!

I will preface my comments with saying that we live in between Vancouver and Calgary and travel a few times a year through Banff, Lake Louise, and Jasper. Over the 30 years my wife and I have been together, we have had well over 100 trips between the locations combined. While most of those are drive straight through variety, we have taken our time and explored as well. Unfortunately, we have not had the privalige of travelling by train in the last few decades. The last time each of did the trip by rail, it was as a commute, and not as a holiday. At night and absolutely no comfort or scenery, but the current way with the Rocky Mountain Rail Tours would be a lovely way to do the trip I am sure.

The trip is magnificent, no matter which way you happen to do it. If you are the type that likes to explore and see as much as possible, then the more time the better. If you do not mind just catching a taste and in the end, be able to say that you were there, then any tour would be a wonderful way to do it, if the details (such as hotels, stops etc) are right. After so many trips through the Rockies, I still marvel each time, no matter which way we do it, taking our time and exploring, or driving straight through and just enjoying the scenery. As mentioned by others, the drive up the Icefield Parkway is one that should not be missed. The drive on any of the highways is not tough or complicated, but do bear in mind that they are mountain roads, and can prove to be tough for some drivers. I grew up driving these highways, so I might take them for granted.

As someone that has felt very, very fortunate to be living in this magnificent area, all I can say is to enjoy it, no matter which way you choose to do it.

(bolding mine)

As someone who learned to drive on the prairies, YES you're taking those roads for granted :D Even after a multitude of trips similar to the one you mention (Vancouver/Calgary, Calgary/Vancouver) I still hold my breath going through the snow sheds :D

Mountain driving is just different, and may not be as relaxing as some vacationers would hope it to be!

lol, I guess that is why I get a little frustrated with some of the slow drivers sometimes.. :D Especially those prairie folk ;)

Thanks again for the replies. My husband loves to take lots of photos, so driving and photography just don't mix. We also aren't used to mountain driving. and I guess that would be something to consider. Thanks again. Pat

Holiday Map

Explore our interactive map to discover your holiday route and key points of interest.

Point of interest

Your day-to-day plan

Arrive at Calgary International Airport, pick up your hire car and head straight for the mountains! Your destination is the charming mountain town of Banff which is just 90 minutes away. Here you will have the evening free to stroll down Banff Avenue and take your pick from the wide array of restaurants. Afterwards stroll the riverside path to the beautiful Bow Falls.

Yoho National Park

Drive up the Bow Valley Parkway, stopping at viewpoints over Morant’s Curve and Castle Mountain and talking a walk at Johnstone Canyon. Continue to Yoho National Park, making stop at the spectacular Natural Bridge on the way to your accommodation situated on the edge of the sparkling Emerald Lake. Go for a hike on the path that encircles the lake, or simply sit back and relax on the patio and admire the views.

Icefields Parkway

Travel north on one of the most scenic highways in the world, the Icefields Parkway. After photo stops at Bow Lake and the iconic Peyto Lake, stop at the Columbia Icefield, one of the largest accumulations of ice south of the Arctic Circle and one of the most accessible icefields in North America. First, ride onto the Athabasca Glacier aboard a massive Ice Explorer before disembarking onto ancient ice. Then, marvel at the breathtaking Sunwapta Valley from above atop the glass-floored skywalk. After lunch with a view on the patio at the Columbia Icefield Glacier Adventure, head back down the Icefields Parkway to Lake Louise stopping at points you may have missed such as The Big Bend and Weeping Wall.

Lake Louise

Spend the day at Lake Louise, one of the most photographed lakes in the world. There is plenty to see and do here so take a canoe out on the lake, hike up to the Lake Agnes Tea House, have lunch at the iconic Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise or visit the nearby Moraine Lake for breath-taking views down the Valley of the Ten Peaks.

Head back to Banff and you will now have time to explore the town and the surrounding National Park. If you want a day off from driving, then Banff has plenty of attractions in easy access of the town centre such as Lake Minnewanka, the historic hot springs and the Banff Gondola.

Rocky Mountaineer to Kamloops

Travel on board the Rocky Mountaineer to Kamloops, in the heart of British Columbia's interior. From inside Rocky Mountaineer's signature glass dome carriages you will see dramatic changes in the scenery as you travel from the snow-capped peaks of the Canadian Rockies, along rocky lakeshores and across the ranchlands of the interior.

Rocky Mountaineer to Vancouver

Step back on-board Rocky Mountaineer as you continue west towards the Pacific Ocean. On today's journey you will see more changes in scenery, from the desert-like environment of the B.C. interior through winding river canyons and past the lush green fields of the Fraser Valley.

Princess Cruises

Arrive independently at the cruise terminal in Vancouver’s picturesque Canada Place ready to board your cruise to Alaska with Princess Cruises. *This is a sample itinerary that may vary by sailing date.

Sail north towards Alaska and take some time to explore the ship. There’s always something happening on board — from heading to the Princess Theatre for a lavish original musical production to enjoying a blockbuster movie poolside under the stars. Or perhaps indulge in a manicure, pedicure or a makeover in the salon, or a soothing massage in the Lotus Spa.

Juneau is unlike any other city in the United States. With no roads connecting it to the rest of Alaska or North America, it is truly a protected destination. Founded as a gold mining town and now the state’s capital, Juneau has one foot in history and one in the future. Embark on a whale watching tour, or sail past Mendenhall Glacier on an Alaska cruise.

Once the gateway to Alaska's Gold Rush, Skagway strikes a dramatic image nestled between the water's edge and mountains. Follow in the footsteps of miners with a ride on a scenic train along the famous White Pass route through coastal mountains. During your Alaska cruise, explore the Yukon's pristine wilderness, pan for gold with professionals or meet sled dog puppies in training.

Endicott Arm and Dawes Glacier

On this day of scenic cruising, you will sail up Endicott Arm, a jewel in Alaska’s crown. This 30-mile waterway is surrounded by cliffs, valleys, and dozens of waterfalls. Icebergs and harbour seals decorate the water below while Dawes Glacier soars into the sky above. Revel in the beauty of Mother Nature’s masterpiece and listen closely as the scenery whispers secrets of times long ago during your cruise to Alaska.

Known for its timber, Ketchikan hosts the Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show, where athletes throw, race, and chop their way to victory. Explore one of the world’s oldest collections of totem poles at the Totem Pole Heritage Center or stroll along Creek Street. As the salmon capital of the world, Ketchikan’s waters make for incredible fishing. Cast your rod into a sea of opportunity on a cruise to Alaska.

Inside Passage

Sit back and relax as you cruise the famed Inside Passage, a spectacular route through a protected network of waterways, featuring glacier-cut fjords, lush rainforests, and diverse wildlife. Now’s the time to revisit your favourite restaurant, Princess Cruises is committed to serving mouthwatering, handcrafted dishes made from scratch so it’s sure to be a difficult choice!

Disembark your cruise in Vancouver where you now have time to explore this enchanting coastal city. Take a stroll round Stanley Park, head over to Granville Island to discover a world of food, art and culture or take a shuttle bus over to the North Shore and the famous Capilano Suspension Bridge, hanging 70 metres over the Capilano River.

Your adventures in Canada and Alaska have come to an end. After some last-minute sightseeing and shopping, transfer independently to Vancouver International Airport for your flight home.

Can They Make Me a Moscow Mule?

By starri , May 24, 2017 in Celebrity Cruises

Recommended Posts

Dumb question I know, but I've been wondering this for a while, and I don't think I've seen it answered. Obviously not offered in Vintages, the Martini Bar, or World-Class, but what about at the Sunset Bar or in Michael's?

Also, Pimm's Cup, same question.

Yes to the Pimms in Michael's Club.

I was able to get a Moscow Mule at the World Class Bar on Equinox in December.

Yay! Thanks so much.

Ensemble Lounge or Passport bar (I forget) also offered them on Equinox. They now offer Ginger Beer on the ship which you need for the "mule". :cool:

Vineyardfan

The Martini bar, Sunset bar, Passport bar and Ensemble lounge all normally carry both ginger ale and ginger beer, so you shouldn't have a problem (as long as the bartender is somewhat knowledgeable).

so you shouldn't have a problem (as long as the bartender is somewhat knowledgeable).

I don't know about the knowledgeable part...I asked for a Paralyzer in a few bars on my March 2017 B2B Constellation cruise and they had no idea until I finally found a "knowledgeable" bartender midway thru my second cruise. I also asked for a Pain Killer during my 30 days on the ship and no bartender knew how to make one or the desire to google it.

Lived on these on Solstice last October! The barman in Ensemble Lounge made the best one ever. I would often stop by to get one, or he also worked at the Sunset Bar so also got them there during the day. I know Mast Bar also made them but w're not as good IMO.

Same for us...served in the copper mugs!

We're also on the Solstice. Do you remember his name?

I'm not really going on the cruise to drink, but I need a libation or two in evenings.

If you happen to find yourself on Qsine, they make a mighty fine version of the mule as well.

Tiggertastic

I've never found anyone to have the crystalised ginger but they still taste great

Sent from my iPad using Forums

Can you get one on the classic package? They have become a go to of mine here at home!

midwestchick

What is a Moscow mule? :confused: Never heard of it.

Vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice. Usually served in a special copper mug.

Are they good?

On the Solstice now and I've had several in the Passport bar

Never had a problem getting anything if they had the makings, even if you needed to explain how to make it.

I like them because they're not too sweet, and I really love the spiciness of the ginger. I don't really like sweet drinks, but I can do a Pimm's cup because of the cucumber and lemon.

I believe that when ordering more obscure drinks, or something that you might prefer to be made a certain way, you should know the ingredients and be able to communicate that to the bartender. I would not assume a bartender is going to Google a drink recipe. Perhaps a PARALYZER or PAIN KILLER are well known cocktails, but I have never heard of them.

We enjoy a top-shelf margarita made according to a recipe we enjoy at home. A friendly discussion with the bartenders at the Mast Bar and Michael's Club, along with instructions on the proper preparation, got us service with a smile... and a nearly perfect margarita each time.

Enjoy yourself!

The taste depends on the brand of ginger beer. There is Goslings, Bunderberg and Fever Tree to name the brands that they have had on board. Sometimes if you order one they may also use ginger ale. Fever Tree is rare. A 4 pack of 6.8oz bottles at the lowest price is about $5, available at Sur La Table for $8.

As with most drinks if you change the spirit it is a different drink. Use rum instead of vodka and it is a dark and stormy. That is usually made with Goslings Ginger Beer and Goslings rum. I prefer Kraken rum over the Goslings.

Drink up 🍷 🍹 🍺 🍸

I hope not. Ginger ale is too sweet.

Melissa at Mohair Meadows

Yes, Indeedy. I wave may magic wand and -- ping -- you are a Moscow mule.

(Definitely need a cruise).

what is it called when its made with Jameson, ginger beer and lime juice. I just bought those ingredients today but do not know what its called.

We got them to make Irish Mules, and Kentucky Mules as well.

Visit Jasper on a Canadian Rockies Cruisetour

Jasper is a tranquil mountain town recognizable for its log-cabin style, laidback energy, and beautiful natural surroundings. Discover the sprawling Jasper National Park and its cascading waterfalls, like Athabasca Falls and Sunwapta Falls. Embark on a boat tour from Jasper to Spirit Island, surrounded by the cerulean waters of Maligne Lake. Explore breathtaking mountainscapes on foot or from the comfort of a SkyTram. Back in town, discover the storied history of Canada’s railways and fur trade at the Jasper Yellowhead Museum.

After a cruise to Hubbard Glacier on Celebrity Eclipse®, or one of Millennium’s® Southbound Glacier sailings, extend the land portion of your cruise with a Canadian Rockies Cruisetour . Choose an itinerary that takes you deep into Alberta, bringing you close to the Canadian Rockies. You’ll spend a night in Jasper, soaking up everything the town has to show you.

Top Sights & Attractions on a Canadian Rockies Cruisetour to Jasper

Maligne lake.

Jasper National Park’s stunning glaciers feed their waters into the crystal-clear Maligne Lake, a sight of tranquility and centerpiece of Jasper’s beauty. Rent a canoe or kayak from the quaint Maligne Tours Boat House and head out on the lake, or take a 90-minute boat tour to Spirit Island, where a dedicated expert will guide you through the flora and fauna of the region.

Glacier Skywalk

The Columbia Icefield Skywalk, located about an hour south of Jasper, is a one-of-a-kind attraction. More than a lookout point, it’s a place to discover ancient stories of Columbia Icefield and spot wildlife, like quick-moving mountain goats, in their natural habitat. The glass floors of the skywalk open up to incredible views of the glaciers below. As dramatic cliffs drop below you, mountains and evergreens stretch as far as the eye can see.

Dark Sky Preserve

When you visit Jasper on a Cruisetour, don’t miss the chance to stargaze in one of the world’s largest Dark Sky Preserves. Witness the awe-inspiring display of innumerable twinkling stars in the expansive Canadian sky. Spend a while at the Planetarium Dome Theatre to participate in an interactive constellation experience.

Top Things to Do on a Canadian Rockies Cruisetour to Jasper

Visit jasper national park.

A Jasper trip is incomplete without exploring the national park it's famous for. Jasper National Park was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984, and ever since, Canadians and international travelers alike have flocked to the park for its glacier-fed waters, canyons, mountain biking trails, and activities for all ages. At 4,200 square miles, Jasper is the largest national park in all of the Canadian Rockies. 

Ride the Jasper SkyTram

Board the Jasper SkyTram for awe-inspiring views of the Canadian Rockies and its natural treasures below. This short jaunt along Canada’s highest aerial tramway will whisk you up over 7,000 feet in the air in less than 10 minutes. Marvel at the incredible vistas as you dine at the glass-enclosed mountain top restaurant, or hike to the summit of Whistlers Mountain and breathe in the crisp Canadian air. 

Hike Along the Canadian Rockies

There’s no shortage of day hikes in the Jasper National Park area, including Spirit Island and along Maligne Lake. Higher altitude and elevation make this region more challenging for inexperienced hikers, so be mindful of that as you’re planning where to hike.

Go on a Wildlife Tour

This part of Alberta is beloved by animal lovers for its bear and elk populations. When you visit Jasper, book a wildlife tour for a chance to see black bears, grizzlies, moose, and bighorn sheep.

Top Food & Drink Spots in Jasper

Comfort foods are a must after a day of hiking the Canadian Rockies or admiring Athabasca Falls. Sample locally sourced Canadian fare at Harvest Food & Drink. Indulge in authentic Italian cuisine at Cassios Italian Restaurant. At The Raven Bistro, you’ll find Mediterranean food catering to all kinds of diets in a trendy atmosphere. Get to know your neighbor at dinner, grab a drink at the bar, and try authentic Canadian cuisine throughout the town.

Culture and History of Jasper

Though Alaskan Athabascans and other communities lived in the area for hundreds of years prior to outside settlement, the town is named for Jasper Hawes, a settler who built a supply station called the Jasper House in 1813. The 19th-century fur trade through the Athabasca Pass placed Jasper on the map as a key route along the Canadian Rockies. Today, it’s one of Alberta’s biggest destinations for travelers and consistently rated one of the world’s most beautiful mountain towns. 

Visiting Jasper on an Alaska Cruise

When you visit Jasper on a Cruisetour, deluxe transportation and transfers come included, while your itinerary can remain independently adventurous. It’s a build-your-own experience that maps the logistics of transit for you, so you can simply enjoy every attraction of the stunning Canadian Rockies at your own pace. Downtown Jasper is conveniently walkable, making it the ideal place to explore on foot. If you book a tour to the surrounding attractions, transportation comes included. .

Shopping in Jasper

Like other destinations in Canada, Jasper is proud of its heritage, culture, and arts, so local vendors are eager to share their handmade goods, art, and souvenirs with travelers visiting their town. The gift shop at the Jasper Yellowhead Museum sells helpful information like guides and books of the area, and showcases the artwork of local and regional artists. Buy locally made Canadian products and gifts at the shop inside Jasper National Park’s visitor center.

Local Currency & Tipping Customs

The Canadian Dollar is the accepted currency in Jasper, but you’ll find credit cards are widely accepted in many establishments. Visa and Mastercard are the most commonly used by travelers to Canada. It’s recommended you tip anywhere between 15% to 20% at restaurants, bars, and for taxi drivers or rideshares. Because Jasper and the surrounding areas are popular attractions for tourists, many people working at cafes and restaurants rely on tips, and they’ll be highly appreciative of yours.

Frequently Asked Questions From Our Travelers

A russian land tour or a river cruise - which is better.

This decision completely depends on your preferred way of travelling. During the Russian river cruise you will not only visit the two largest cities of Russia, but also small towns and villages along the route and you will have a chance to participate in master classes, learn a little Russian language and dive into local Russian culture and hospitality. For those who prefer custom-made programs and more free time in the cities of their choice we recommend a land tour, both are excellent options. To find out more about the differences click here .

Experience the Best of Alaska by land and sea on a Celebrity Cruisetour

On an Alaska cruise, you’ll journey along the state’s southeastern coastline aboard award-winning ships experiencing the beauty of glaciers, nature’s ever-changing and fragile masterpieces. But, with a Celebrity Alaska Cruisetour, you’ll explore that and so much more.  

With one of our 9-to-13-night Alaska Cruisetours, you can combine your seven-night Alaska cruise with an exciting land tour where you’ll stay in authentic lodges and travel remote roads and railways in deluxe motor coaches and on a luxurious train with domed glass ceiling. A Cruisetour will offer opportunities to take you to destinations like cultured Anchorage, folksy Talkeetna, and wild Denali—a visit to these inland areas truly give you a feel for the diverse beauty of the 49th State. 

And, you’ll travel with a local. Few people know and love Alaska like those who live there, and the Tour Directors on a Celebrity Alaska Cruisetour are chosen for their deep roots and connections to the local communities. Part raconteur of everyday Alaskan life. Part wildlife hobbyist. Part concierge, taking care of the small details like hotel check-in. The dedicated Tour Directors on a Celebrity Cruisetour are passionate about sharing their home, and bringing you seamless service, local knowledge, and the best of the interior. 

Mother Nature truly puts on a show in Alaska. Massive open spaces, ancient forests, soaring mountains and salmon-filled rivers create exceptionally rugged, untamed beauty. Alaska has more than 57 million acres of wilderness: watersheds, mountain ranges, glaciers, wetlands, coastlines, volcanoes, tundra, and forests. It’s home to eight national parks, 100,000 glaciers, and more than 98 percent of the United States’ brown bear population.

Pristine environmental conditions make Alaska well known for its abundant wildlife. Alaska's parks provide you with up-close experiences with wildlife unlike anywhere else in the country. Getting to see a majestic brown bear snatching salmon from an Alaska stream is the memory of a lifetime. But as iconic as these massive land predators are, they're just the start of what Alaska has to offer. Keep your eyes open for bald eagles, black bears, caribou, humpback whales, orcas, and, of course, moose.

With thirty different mountain ranges and the top ten tallest peaks in North America, Alaska is a land of spectacular peaks and valleys. The Alaska Range reaches from the coastline to the interior regions and includes Denali, its showpiece mountain. At 20,320 feet, Denali is North America’s highest peak. The mountain known as the Great One towers over the surrounding Alaska Range. The view on a clear day is an intensely impressive sight.

Featured Cruisetours

The Alaskan cross-country journey is as inspiring as the destinations you’ll explore. A highlight of every Celebrity Cruisetour is a scenic ride on the railway from Anchorage to Fairbanks. Relax aboard the Wilderness Express railcars which offer 360-degree views from dome windows and reclining leather seats. Enjoy fine cuisine in the dining section, along with full bar service at your seat, while you learn about the wilderness and the region’s rich history.

All Celebrity Alaska Cruisetours include a rail experience that typically lasts for three to five hours; the below Cruisetours have extended rail experiences or multiple segments.

Denali National Park is home to Denali, the majestic 20,310-ft. high mountain formerly known as Mount McKinley and the tallest peak in North America. Spanning six million acres, the park’s terrain of tundra, spruce forest, and glaciers make it the perfect place to spot Alaska's Big 5— grizzly bears, wolves, moose, caribou and Dall’s sheep.

The largest city in Alaska, Anchorage, is surrounded by the Chugach mountains and national park as well as Cook Inlet offering a variety of outdoor activities from hiking, biking, moose watching, boating and more. For those looking to learn more about the native people, make sure to stop at the Alaska Native Heritage Center.

In sight of the great mountain, Talkeetna offers breathtaking views, a folksy frontier spirit, endless outdoor activities, and the unique ambience of its eclectic Main Street. Among climbers, Talkeetna is the ideal staging ground for preparations to summit Denali. Main Street’s log cabin cafés provide a place where you can mill with the bohemians, aviators, and adventurers who call the town home.
