Rocky Mountaineer is an iconic rail journey in the Rocky Mountains that should be on everyone’s bucket list. With four different routes to enjoy, three in Canada and one in the US you’ll be spoilt for choice when it come to picking which one to do. All three of the Canadian routes connect to Vancouver, one heads north towards Whistler, through the costal mountains and up to the remote town of Quesnel, then onto Jasper. The other two travel to Kamloops in the heart of British Columbia and then one train route heads to Jasper, and the other to the well-known town of Banff. In the States the scenery is very different, starting in Moab, Utah you’ll discover the red rock formations, as the train travels to Denver Colorado. All the routes operate in reverse as well so whatever the rest of your itinerary looks like, we’ll be able to plan a couple of days on the Rocky Mountaineer for you to really elevate your holiday.
This is a luxury train service so you can look forward to first class service, warm hospitality, delicious meals, and of course stunning scenery. The train only travels through the day, so you do not miss a moment of the incredible passing views. After a perfect day on the train, spend the night in the comfort of a hotel room of the beautiful destinations. You’ll be looked after from the moment you arrival at the train station to the moment you leave at your final destination so you wont have to worry about lifting a finger. On the Canadian routes you can also choose between GoldLeaf Service and SilverLeaf service, choosing the GoldLeaf service will elevate your experience thanks to glass-dome coaches, a separate dining space, outdoor viewing platform and much more.
