Welcome to the stunning coastal city of Vancouver. After checking into our downtown hotel, take time to stroll the vibrant waterfront or relax with a cup of locally roasted coffee. Tonight, meet your Tour Manager and fellow quilt-loving travelers at out friendly Welcome Meeting. It’s the perfect time to mingle, get acquainted, and preview the memorable days ahead.
Fuel up with a hearty breakfast before diving into Vancouver’s highlights on a guided panoramic city tour. Begin in Stanley Park, a 1,000-acre urban oasis filled with scenic paths, Indigenous totem poles, and breathtaking waterfront views. Then, head to bustling Granville Island, a haven for artists, foodies, and textile lovers alike. Browse high-quality cottons at The Cloth Shop, explore handspun yarns at Maiwa, and wander the lively Granville Island Public Market. From handcrafted goods to gourmet bites, this is a feast for the senses. The afternoon is yours to explore at leisure—perhaps visit Gastown’s historic streets, shop for souvenirs, or take in coastal views from the seawall. B
Today, board the world-renowned Rocky Mountaineer and embark on a breathtaking journey into the heart of British Columbia. From the comfort of your glass-domed railcar, witness a stunning shift in landscapes—from fertile valleys to desert canyons and forested peaks. Highlights include the rushing waters of Hell’s Gate in the Fraser Canyon, towering rock sheds, and the snaking curves of the Thompson River. Savor gourmet breakfast and lunch onboard while taking in panoramic views of the rugged wilderness. Upon arrival in Kamloops, check into your hotel and enjoy the evening at your leisure. You might explore the town’s local art galleries or simply unwind after an unforgettable day on the rails. B, L
Climb back aboard the Rocky Mountaineer for another thrilling day of rail travel through the Canadian Rockies. This leg of the journey features some of the most iconic and dramatic scenery in North America. Pass through ranchlands, glide along shimmering lakes, and cross towering mountain passes. Highlights include Rogers Pass, Kicking Horse Canyon, and the famed Spiral Tunnels. Arrive in postcard-perfect Banff this evening and settle into your lodge-inspired hotel, nestled in the mountains. After dinner on your own, perhaps take a stroll along the Bow River or simply relax and breathe in the alpine air. B, L
Today is yours to enjoy Banff at your own pace. Explore the charming downtown filled with cozy cafés, artisan shops, and boutiques offering everything from handcrafted souvenirs to locally made maple treats. Snap photos of the towering peaks, and if you’re lucky, you may spot a few elk roaming nearby. Whether you’re savoring lunch with a view, soaking in the peaceful atmosphere, or picking up a few quilt-themed treasures, Banff is sure to steal your heart. B
After breakfast, set out on a guided tour of Banff National Park, soaking in the natural beauty that surrounds you. Stop at Bow Falls, the viewpoint known as Surprise Corner, and the curious rock spires known as the Hoodoos. After a scenic drive and time for lunch, we journey east toward Calgary. Known for its western hospitality and skyline views, Calgary welcomes us with open arms. B
It’s time to indulge in a quilter’s dream day! We’ll visit a handpicked selection of Calgary’s top quilt shops, including Out of Hand Quilting, Rick Rack Textiles, and Along Came Quilting. Whether you’re searching for fabric, patterns, or inspiration, these creative hubs offer a treasure trove of delights. This evening, we’ll gather for a joyful Farewell Dinner to share stories, laughter, and memories made along the way. B, D
After breakfast, it’s time to say goodbye to your new friends and this extraordinary adventure. Depart at your leisure, your heart (and suitcase) full of inspiration and beautiful Canadian memories. B
