I just saw post on Facebook...

 

More Norwegian Cruise Line news.......The Rocky Mountaineer Train has announced a new partnership with Norwegian Cruise Line, which will offer more rail and cruise holiday options in 2014.

 

Connecting with Rocky Mountaineer’s new Coastal Passage rail route out of Seattle, WA as well as train departures from Vancouver, BC, guests are invited to experience a rail journey through the Pacific Northwest and the Canadian Rockies before or after their Norwegian cruise to Alaska.

 

There are five different rail and cruise vacation packages available through Rocky Mountaineer for travel in 2014. Each itinerary offers an opportunity for travelers to make the most of their visit to Western Canada and Alaska by linking the Rocky Mountaineer train with cruises on three of Norwegian’s ships: Norwegian Jewel, Norwegian Pearl and Norwegian Sun.

 

One of the packages combining a Norwegian Alaska cruise with a rail journey is the Canadian Rockies Highlights and Coastal Passage. Including the cruise, this holiday ranges from 13-14 days in length depending on direction selected. Guests sail a seven night roundtrip Alaska cruise from Seattle onboard Norwegian Jewel or Norwegian Pearl plus a Rocky Mountaineer rail trip in either GoldLeaf or SilverLeaf Service. Whether departing from or arriving into Seattle, guests onboard the train are seamlessly connected to the Canadian Rockies with stays in such destinations as Vancouver, Banff and Lake Louise.

 

It seems interesting but a quick look also looks expensive and perhaps can only be booked through the train site. Is this the case? Any thoughts?
