Canadian Rockies Aboard Rocky Mountaineer
Among the great train journeys in North America, the magnificently scenic route through the Canadian Rockies is one of the best. As the most luxurious way to travel by rail through the Canadian Rockies, the Rocky Mountaineer train features unmatched glass-dome railcars and unparalleled onboard services, which make this spectacular ride even more wonderful. AAA has coupled this train trip with a deluxe motor coach tour to the best destinations in Western Canada.
Vancouver’s alluring waterfront attractions, fashionable neighborhoods and beloved Stanley Park are yours to admire on a guided city tour. Victoria features a visit to delightful Butchart Gardens. Then, it’s “all aboard” the Rocky Mountaineer, on which you’re treated to premier Gold Leaf Service with luxurious seating in the upper level of an extraordinary glass-dome railcar and included gourmet dining served by friendly professional staff in your railcar’s lower-level restaurant with large picture windows.
During your two-day journey aboard Rocky Mountaineer from Vancouver to Banff, you’ll see dramatic changes in scenery from lush green fields to forests, winding river canyons and high mountain peaks. Although other passenger trains traverse the Canadian Rockies, they do so by night, so their passengers miss the opportunity to enjoy the picturesque areas through which they are passing. By contrast, the Rocky Mountaineer travels by day. Designed intentionally with no sleeper compartments onboard, Rocky Mountaineer passengers are granted maximum opportunity to enjoy the scenery. The train stops halfway on its route, providing passengers a comfortable hotel stay in the frontier town of Kamloops.
Rocky Mountaineer’s second day ride takes you above deep river canyons and through the Spiral Tunnels of Kicking Horse Pass to Banff. From your seat or the dome-car’s outdoor viewing platform, you’ll experience picture perfect postcard images. Be sure to watch for elk, deer, bear, and other wildlife moving through the area to the lower elevations. Upon arrival in Banff, wave goodbye to the Rocky Mountaineer and board a
