Cruise and rail holidays in North America
Given its sheer size, North America offers something for everyone. For the laid-back there’s a paddle-wheeler cruise along the mighty Mississippi, while Alaska excites with exploratory sailings past whale-fronted glaciers and Canada impresses with one of the world’s greatest rail journeys. The Rocky Mountaineer traces rushing rivers to summit great, snow-capped peaks. Lastly, San Francisco is the departure point for an epic, round-the-world cruise.
