"Booked this for our Ruby wedding anniversary and the holiday left us with memories to last a lifetime. It was always a dream of mine to see Niagara Falls and they were every bit as impressive as what I hoped. The scenery throughout was amazing, the Rockies breathtakingly beautiful. GoldLeaf on Rocky Mountaineer was something else, and well worth the upgrade to be sitted upstairs in the dome. We had never cruised before and weren't sure what to expect but Alaska was stunning and Celebrity is now our favourite cruise line. - Mrs Willamson"
