Canada’s most spectacular train journey

ROCKY MOUNTAINEER

The Rocky Mountaineer is one of the world’s most luxurious and famous train journeys. This unforgettable Canada rail holiday combines awe-inspiring scenery, impeccable service, and unparalleled comfort. Crossing the dramatic landscapes of Western Canada, this rail adventure offers front-row seats to some of the most breathtaking views on earth. Towering peaks, glacial rivers, emerald lakes, and dense pine forests unfold before your eyes as the train winds its way through the Canadian Rockies.

Operating exclusively during daylight hours, the Rocky Mountaineer ensures that no moment of the spectacular scenery is missed. Travellers can choose from several world-renowned routes, between Vancouver and Banff, to Jasper, or a route which showcases the diverse beauty of British Columbia.

Every element of your Rocky Mountaineer holiday is crafted to create a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Glass-dome carriages provide sweeping panoramic views, while the staff onboard share captivating stories about the history, wildlife, and geology of the regions you pass through. From spotting bald eagles soaring overhead to glimpsing elk grazing along the riverbanks, the journey is as rich in natural wonder as it is in comfort.

Unlike traditional overnight trains, the Rocky Mountaineer includes overnight stays in charming hotels along the route, allowing you to enjoy both restful evenings and uninterrupted daytime sightseeing. Luggage is seamlessly transferred to your accommodation, ensuring a smooth and relaxed travel experience from start to finish.
