ANAHEIM, March 20, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- From the Pacific Ocean and the Rocky Mountains to an abundance of forest and wildlife, Canada's two most western provinces offer everything visitors can imagine and guided vacations leader, Trafalgar, has teamed up with tourism boards Destination British Columbia and Travel Alberta this spring to promote travel to Western Canada. For a limited-time, travelers can save up to $572 per couple* on guided vacations to Western Canada when booked and paid by April 30, 2014.
Blessed with breathtaking landscapes like the sparkling waterfront of Victoria to the snow-covered mountains of Whistler, British Columbia is also home to the cosmopolitan culture of Vancouver with world class exhibitions, uptown shopping and culinary delights. As the sunniest province in all of Canada, Alberta hosts an incredible natural landscape from the Canadian Rockies to the Canadian Badlands filled with western traditions, bustling activities and one of the most scenic stretches of highway in the world. And with Trafalgar, travelers will go beyond the expected to Western Canada with perfectly-planned guided vacations filled with unique Insider Experiences where guests meet the locals, share family-hosted meals and discover each destination in-depth with special sightseeing with experts like meeting an athlete in training at the Canada Olympic Park in Calgary.
On Trafalgar's 11-day Best of Canada's West travelers will get an inside look at the natural marvels and exciting cultures of British Columbia and Alberta. Meet a local family for a private lunch at their winery in Victoria, visit Glacier National Park to explore native wildlife, ride the Banff Gondola to the top of Sulphur Mountain for a bird's eye view of six mountain ranges and explore the Butchart Gardens for a walk with a local historian.
