CRUISE MALIGNE LAKE IN JASPER NATIONAL PARK

You'll be led by an experienced crew through the stunning blue waters and soaring mountains of Maligne Lake, the largest glacially-fed lake in the Canadian Rockies.

WHAT TO EAT & DRINK IN NORTH AMERICA

From hot dogs to cheeseburgers, Buffalo wings to butter tarts, deep-dish pizza to poutine… North American food is the ultimate crowd pleaser and we’ll show you where to find all the iconic dishes.

CALIFORNIA WINE (USA)

From the Chardonnay of Sonoma to to the sparkling wine of Modesto and the Cabernet Sauvignon of the famous Napa Valley - California knows wine. We'll take you to some of the state's greatest wineries, like the Ernest & Julio Gallo Winery where you can get to know all the tastiest drops and then some.

POUTINE (CANADA)

If you like potato fries, then you’ll fall head over heels for poutine. This iconic dish takes French fries and turns it up a notch by smothering them in cheese curds and brown gravy. It came out of French-Canadian Quebec in the 1950s and it’s still one of the country’s favourite snacks.

CHEESEBURGER (USA)

Don’t be fooled into thinking the humble cheeseburger is just a hamburger topped with cheese. This all-American burger is so much more, with a juicy piece of beef topped with melting cheese, pickles, crispy lettuce, sliced onion, and ketchup oozing out the sides. Delicious!
