Celebrate in the Canadian Rockies
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 and sumptuous 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, and may even catch a glimpse of a moose or soaring eagle. 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 three unique routes to choose from, each with its own distinctive highlights, 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. 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 vestibule inhaling 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. A true feast for the senses, the gourmet cuisine accompanies the stunning scenery and awardwinning service. Before each season, Rocky Mountaineer’s Executive Chefs, who have been trained in Michelin-starred restaurants, reimagine a menu inspired by the bounty of the passing regions, highlighting ingredients such as Pacific salmon and prime Alberta beef. From hearty soups made from local vegetables, to Okanagan apple crumble, you will have a decadent culinary experience of Western Canadian ingredients. The culinary trip onboard is highlighted by prize-winning wines from British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley, local Canadian beers, and high-end spirits. 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. The three routes differ both in scenery and in destinations. The train journey offers an unparalleled experience onboard while taking you to some of the most beautiful places in the world. From Vancouver to the mountain towns of Banff, Lake Louise and Jasper, the train weaves through a mix of cosmopolitan cities, small towns, and vast landscapes. The train travels only by daylight, so you won’t miss a moment of the passing scenery. In the evenings, you stay in a selection of high-quality hotels and can explore a bit of the destination before boarding the train the following day.
