APT has launched its 2023 Canada & Alaska with Western USA collection of North American escorted tours, adding a new luxury five-star APT itinerary in Western America and a new ‘Essential’ flexible four-star Travelmarvel itinerary in Alaska.
With more than 30 years’ experience creating the very best journeys in North America, APT’s 2023 collection offers a total of nine tours, and guests can enjoy an exciting combination of travel styles, including luxury coaches, Alaskan cruising with Holland America Line, unmissable rail journeys on the Rocky Mountaineer, and panoramic views of national parks from above with helicopter and light aircraft tours.
The new trips for 2023 are as follows:
- USA: APT’s luxury 13-day Canyonlands & National Parks of America’s West, from Denver to Las Vegas offers include return flights, 12 nights of hand-picked accommodation, 23 meals, all transportation on trip including SilverLeaf service on the Rocky Mountaineer, the services of an APT Tour Director, and sightseeing with local guides. Departures run from May to September 2023.
Highlights include a Monument Valley tour and visiting a traditional Navajo home to experience their authentic entertainment; a private history tour of the fascinating Brown Palace Hotel; taking to the skies for an exhilarating helicopter tour to the Grand Canyon; river rafting the Colorado River and seeing the 5,000-year-old wall carvings of the Indigenous Puebloan people at Petroglyph Beach.

Guests will also discover the work of wildlife biologists on a Tundra Wilderness Tour; and have plenty of free time to explore their own interests such as joining a dog sled ride over a glacier or trying to pan for gold in the former gold rush town of Juneau.
Brad Bennetts, who has joined APT this month as the operator’s new UK Head of Sales & Business Development, said “APT has drawn on 30 years of destination expertise in Canada and North America to create these stunning new itineraries for 2023. Canada, Alaska and Western USA are in steep demand for longer haul travel next year, and touring is a fantastic way for travel agents to supply the finest experiences, already neatly packaged up, to their clients. We’ve done the hard work in bringing together all the show stopping elements, so they don’t have to.”
Like all 2022 and 2023 APT and Travelmarvel holidays, these trips are protected by the operator’s flexible booking and COVID guarantees so that they can be booked with complete peace of mind.
