ICONIC SIGHTS OF ARIZONA
Arizona is an outdoor lovers’ ideal as the Grand Canyon State, with unique topography while it boasts cultural cities, gastronomical delights and a host of new openings for visitors to enjoy.
A southern state bordered by California to its East and Mexico to the South, it enjoys 300 days plus of sunshine each year and varied landscapes from snowy mountains to multi-state deserts.
Tucson in the south was the US’ first UNESCO City of Gastronomy and in 2023, its Barrio Viejo will earn a National Historic Landmark designation. The 100-year-old barrio
- a Spanish-speaking quarter of a town - is a mile-long quarter which had an influential role in establishing Tucson’s culture. Those passionate about architecture will appreciate the significance of the barrio, with its largest collection of Sonoran Row houses in the US.
Another luxury addition to the state is the new Ritz-Carlton, coming to Scottsdale and offering a view of one of Arizona’s most iconic sights, Camelback Mountain.
Ritz-Carlton Paradise Valley will open in Autumn 2023 with a world-class spa, secret gardens, an on-site citrus grove, Ritz-Carlton’s first oxygen-enriched guest rooms and one of the longest resort pools in North America at 400 feet.

CUNARD TO OFFER ROCKY
MOUNTAINEER TRAIN TOURS
Guests sailing onboard Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth this summer can experience the Rocky Mountaineer train when they sail through Alaska.
Guests will be able to extend their Alaska voyage with either a four-night pre-voyage train experience or a three-night post-voyage package, depending on the sailing date. The three-night Rocky Mountaineer tour takes guests on an eastbound journey from Vancouver to Calgary, while the four-night train tour goes the opposite direction and gives guests an additional day of sightseeing in Banff, including a trip on the Banff Gondola.
The three-night Post-Cruise Tours are available on four Alaska voyages roundtrip out of Vancouver ranging from 10 to 11 nights. The four-night pre-voyage tour is available on three Alaska voyages roundtrip out of Vancouver.
Other highlights on Queen Elizabeth include the bespoke Alaska Afternoon Tea, the Ice White Ball and a new dining concept called Frontier, which offers a taste of Alaska. Guests traveling on the Rocky Mountaineer train – the only passenger rail service on this historic rail route – will experience expansive glass-dome windows and luxurious coaches and its GoldLeaf Service.
