Rocky Mountaineer

Dramatic views of lofty mountain peaks, deep forests, and pristine waterways frame the way for some of North America's most impressive rail routes on Rocky Mountaineer. The train sets a new standard for railway excellence, and as a result, has been hailed as the gold standard for train travel since its inaugural route in 1990. Meander alongside rushing rivers and past plunging gorges. Marvel at waterfalls cascading down mountainsides and sparkling glacial lakes that are so vividly blue and green that they appear otherworldly. Watch as wildlife comes into view - animals that are so at home in the untouched wilderness that they regularly wander within the eyeshot of the train's tracks. Best of all, these magnificent sights are presented in their full glory during each route, thanks to the train's commitment to traveling only during daylight hours and to moving at a leisurely pace that averages just 30 mph.

Rocky Mountaineer makes comfort a priority for each guest that steps on the train. Perhaps the most important factor in this comfort is seating. Passengers are pre-assigned plush seats for the duration of their journey. Each seat offers ample legroom and reclines for mid-route snoozes. The experience of riding aboard the train is further enhanced by the attentive hosts who offer unlimited complimentary drinks - both alcoholic and non-alcoholic - and gourmet snacks.

Over 2 million guests have experienced these wonders by traveling along the Rocky Mountaineer's three Canadian rail routes. Vancouver on the West Coast makes the ideal starting point for the train's courses, thanks to its easy accessibility and proximity to the beautiful mountains travelers seek.

“Beautiful train ride on the Rocky Mountaineer and the Canadian Rail system. As a passenger train, we were low on the priority list, so had to give way to freight trains. But it was worth it, as it provided an opportunity to take in more of the scenery and watch the passing trains! Service was excellent and the food was great. Breakfast and lunch included on the Rocky Mountaineer. Due to traffic and frequent pull overs, we were 2 & 1/2 hr late getting into our town. The chef threw together a great dinner for us, which was a great treat!

“Our tour guide and bus driver were excellent. Very professional, knowlegable and lots of fun. The train cabin was smaller than I thought it would be but service on the train was excellent.

“The company did a good job of coordinating the entire trip. The first part of the trip on the Rocky Mountaineer was truly awesome (a bit expensive, but worth it). The only complaint we had was regarding the last half of the trip when we were on The Canadian from Jasper to Toronto. We were in the next class down from Prestige class, where our friends were. The room we were put in was at the opposite end of the train, a long long walk to get to there area. There were cars of the class we were in next to the Prestige class cars, I think Vacations By Rail should have made an effort to get us closer. That said, all other communications and planning by them was well done.
