Wings Travels books Alaska, Caribbean, Mediterranean, Panama Canal, and European river cruises for Alberta travellers. Alaska cruises are our specialty — most sail from Vancouver, which is a scenic 12-hour drive or a 90-minute YYC flight away. We also book cruise + land combos with Rocky Mountaineer.
Vancouver is the #1 Alaska cruise port and a short hop from Calgary. We book the big cruise lines — Princess, Holland America, Norwegian, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, and Disney — typically 7-night Inside Passage or Glacier Bay itineraries from $1,400/person. We can bundle your YYC-YVR flight, pre-cruise Vancouver hotel, and cruise fare into one price.
For a bucket-list trip, ask about our Rocky Mountaineer + Alaska cruise combos — rail from Calgary through Banff and the Rockies to Vancouver, then cruise Alaska. Typically 10-14 days total.
7-day Caribbean cruises sail from Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, San Juan, and New Orleans. We book Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Norwegian, MSC, and Disney. Round-trip flights from YYC + cruise fare starts around $1,800/person for value lines, $2,800+ for premium lines and suite categories.
Med cruises sail from Barcelona, Rome (Civitavecchia), Venice, and Athens — typically 7-10 nights. River cruises on the Rhine, Danube, Douro, and Seine are popular with Calgary retirees; we book Viking, AmaWaterways, Uniworld, and Avalon. Package pricing (flights + pre-cruise hotel + cruise) typically starts at $3,500/person for Med, $4,500+ for river cruises.
Cruise lines have complicated fare types, cabin categories, and onboard-credit/perks that change daily. A cruise-literate agent picks the right combination. We also hold past-passenger rates, group rates when we have 8+ cabins on the same sailing, and often have unpublished upgrade promotions from the cruise lines directly. Plus we handle travel insurance that actually covers missed-port and interruption scenarios specific to cruises.

Driving is a scenic 12-hour trip (usually split over 2 days with a stop in Revelstoke or Kamloops). Flying is 90 minutes, often cheaper than the combined fuel + hotel of driving. For families with luggage, we usually recommend flying.
Early May (shoulder season) and late September are 20-30% cheaper than peak June-August. Weather is variable but glacier viewing is often better in shoulder seasons.
Yes. Viking, AmaWaterways, Uniworld, Avalon — we have relationships with all the major river cruise lines. Most couples who try river cruising book a second within 2 years.
Critical. Cruise trips are highly non-refundable close to sailing, and missed-port or evacuation issues are cruise-specific. We bundle appropriate insurance into every cruise booking.
Yes — we can book direct with the cruise line, or use local independent operators that are often cheaper and smaller-group. We'll advise on which is better for each port.
