The Canadian Rockies are known to many as a must-do vacation thanks to the awe-inspiring vistas that showcase nature’s most beautiful aspects of sparkling lakes, snowy mountains, and local wildlife at every turn.

Rocky Mountaineer, the luxury tourist train operating in Western Canada and the Pacific Northwest, is a unique way to see all this part of the world has to offer. The train takes you on a journey alongside rivers, through quaint mountain towns, and within arms-reach of stunning, snowcapped mountains. Along the way, you will have a front-row seat to fleeting wildlife, including moose, elk, bighorn sheep, bear, and soaring eagles.

The experience onboard the all-dome fleet features rich, historic storytelling, world-class cuisine, and a first-hand look at lush green forests and turquoise glacier-fed lakes, all from the comfort of reclining plush seats. With four unique routes to choose from, the unforgettable all-daylight journeys offer romance and history, reminding you that traveling is as much about the journey as it is about the destination.

The moment you arrive at the station, Rocky Mountaineer’s exuberant team is there to celebrate with you. From the bagpiper regally playing you onto the train, to the fresh scones served straight from the oven, a literal red carpet is rolled out to welcome you. As the train pulls out of the station, the onboard hosts are eager to start the journey with a morning toast and share stories of the history, nature and excitement that surrounds the train throughout the day. There’s an immediate comradery that is almost palpable from the onboard hosts and your fellow travelers as you embark on your journey together.

While nature’s wonders unfold out the windows, you are given the opportunity to truly unwind. Whether with a glass of sauvignon blanc in the comfort of the domed car, or on the outdoor viewing platform the fresh mountain air, Rocky Mountaineer is a chance to unplug and relax fully into the sumptuous surroundings. With classic Canadian breakfasts and three-course lunches, the culinary service gives you a taste of the unique flavours of the passing regions. Each route offers exceptional cuisine, punctuated by a wine and cheese service in the afternoon to round out the culinary delights.

The stunning scenery with endless views are enough to keep you enthralled, but beyond that, there’s the chance to make new friends and connect with your traveling companions as you take in this memorable trip of a lifetime.
