This event is a unique opportunity to explore two of the world’s most iconic and award-winning travel experiences: the legendary rails of the Rocky Mountaineer and the enchanting river cruises of AmaWaterways.

Whether you dream of winding through the majestic Canadian Rockies or gliding past fairytale castles on the Danube, this presentation is designed to move you from "bucket list" to "booked." Here is why you won't want to miss it:

1. Expert Insights Directly from the Source

We are hosting the Business Development Managers from both brands. These are the experts who know these journeys inside and out. They’ll share "insider" secrets—like the best side of the train for photos or which river cruise staterooms offer the most breathtaking views—that you simply won’t find on a website.

2. The Ultimate "Land and Sea" Synergy

Luxury travel is about the journey, not just the destination. We will explore how the seamless service of a glass-domed train perfectly complements the intimate, upscale atmosphere of a river ship. Discover how these two brands prioritize your comfort, gourmet dining, and immersive storytelling.

3. Discover "Hidden Gem" Itineraries

Beyond the classic routes, you’ll learn about new destinations and seasonal specials (like the magical Christmas Markets of Europe or the vibrant colors of the American Southwest) that offer a completely different perspective on luxury travel.

4. Community & Connection

In the spirit of building our local travel community, this is a chance to meet fellow travelers from Nanaimo, Duncan, and Parksville. We encourage a two-way conversation—come ready to share your own travel tips, ask your most pressing questions, and give us feedback on what you look for in a dream vacation.

5. Exclusive Inspiration

There is a profound difference between looking at a brochure and seeing these landscapes brought to life through professional photography and expert narration. You’ll leave with a clear vision of your next adventure and the confidence that comes from having the best professional advice in the industry.
