TRAVEL
The Backdrop of a Lifetime
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, is the best 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, bears, 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 three unique routes to choose from, the all-daylight journeys offer romance and history, reminding you that traveling is as much
about the journey as it is about the destination.
SilverLeaf Service offers optimal viewing from oversized picture windows, so you don’t miss a moment of the stunning waterfalls or eagles soaring overhead. With a selection of locally inspired menu options served right at your seat, you receive the royal treatment while chugging along the railway to the various destinations.
While nature’s wonders unfold out the windows, you are
given the opportunity to truly indulge with delicious cuisine. Before each season, Rocky Mountaineer’s Executive Chefs 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.
In the spacious comfort of our one-of-a-kind glass-dome coaches, the unparalleled scenery, impeccable service, and irresistible cuisine combine to make an unforgettable experience.
In addition to the various routes and multiple
destinations, Rocky Mountaineer offers two
levels of service, both with the compelling Hosts,
delectable food, and all the comforts Rocky
Mountaineer is known for. Stepping onto the bi-
level, glass-domed train cars of GoldLeaf Service
is a luxurious experience unto itself. With sprawling windows on the upper level, you can feast your eyes on sights at every turn. Downstairs, an elegant dining room awaits, where you can enjoy a freshly prepared breakfast and three-course lunch as you discuss the dramatic scenery passing outside the windows.
