Our cruise started from Vancouver and we spent two days there beforehand. As it was a long flight from Ireland we also did the Rocky Mountaineer train trip to Calgary and spent two days in Calgary as well. It was a wonderful holiday and one that I would gladly do again. My husband even got used to the "there's just one shop here that I want to go to" and started looking out for fabric and quilt shops himself and even came inside and helped pick out fabrics with Alaskan themes on them. You will have a ball.
