Alexander + Roberts


	News + Information for Immediate Release Alexander+Roberts introduces Canada by Land, Water + Rail From Prince Rupert to Banff with Never More than 16 Guests September 20, 2016 – Keene, NH– Long known for its intimate personalized journeys to exotic global destinations, pioneering travel company Alexander+Roberts brings its unique approach to North America with three new journeys for 2017, including Canada by Land, Water + Rail. Limited to no more than 16 guests, the smallest group-size in the Americas, this 9-day journey begins in the Canadian fishing port of Prince Rupert and continues with a 2-day all-daylight rail journey deep into the Canadian Rockies. “Most Canadian rail trips start in Vancouver,” notes company president Bob Drumm, “but we chose the more remote, and rarely-visited port of Prince Rupert because it’s the gateway to the Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear Preserve - and some of the most exciting wildlife-viewing in North America.” Indeed, Canada by Land, Water + Rail offers a number of exclusive features and unique advantages not found on other tours through the region: Extensive wildlife-viewing begins with a cruise from Prince Rupert to view Grizzly bears in their native habitat - or Humpback whales when they’re so prolific in these waters in August. With an all-daylight rail journey from the Pacific to the Rockies, Alexander+Roberts guests won’t miss any scenery or wildlife by traveling in the dark of night; rather, the 2-day rail journey includes a restful hotel overnight in Prince George. By day, travelers enjoy large panoramic windows and access to the 360° view Dome Car for great views of the ever-changing scenery: Historic gold mining posts, First Nations villages and totem poles, and glorious vistas of forests, mountains, glaciers and rivers! From the comfort of their reclining Touring Class rail seat, guests can even see amazing wildlife - moose, bears, bald eagles and wolves. With the company’s attentive Trip Leader always at their side and the unique insights of expert specialist guides from Parks Canada and the First Nations, guests will gain a deeper appreciation for the natural wonders and diverse wildlife of the Canadian Rockies. Carefully selected accommodations begin with an oceanview room at the Crest Hotel in Prince Rupert and also include the historic Emerald Lake Lodge, set on a 13-acre peninsula surrounded by pristine lake waters and the rugged peaks and forests of Yoho National Park. The company’s other new North American journeys include Stories of the Old South, an 8-day trip to Charleston, Savannah, Jekyll Island and St. Augustine. Our Pacific Northwest is an extensive 12-day journey featuring a one-week Columbia and Snake Rivers cruise aboard the American Empress and 3 full days exploring the Oregon coast, sampling the fine wines of the Willamette Valley and getting to know Portland, Newport and Eugene. $1,000 per couple limited-time savings Through December 31, 2016, travelers save $1,000 per couple ($500 solo) when they pay in full at time of booking for any of these three new 2017 Small Group Journeys in the USA and Canada. This limited-time discount can be combined with Family+Friends savings of $50 to $200 per person when 3 or more guests travel together. Travel agents earn $100 per couple bonuses ($50 per passenger) every time clients take advantage of the pay-in-full savings.
