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. Additionally, the host's immersive storytelling highlights the regional history and provides information about the passing flora and fauna and alerts to watch for points of interest as they approach. Travelers can choose from two elite classes of comfort on the train. 

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.

Regardless of the route you choose, passengers enjoy an exciting onboard experience filled with delights for all the senses. Canada's warmest seasons are presented from the rails, as Rocky Mountaineer travels the rails between mid-April and mid-October annually. The train's fleet of passenger cars features endless windows from which to take in the passing scenery's views and changing seasons. Additionally, guests can gaze upon the surroundings from the train's open-air viewing platforms.

Twenty double-decker domed-glass train cars provide elite luxury for GoldLeaf Service passengers. These train cars have an upper-level seating area surrounded by windows and a lower-level dining room, complete with crisp linens and panoramic windows, so you do not miss any of the views while dining. GoldLeaf guests have access to an exclusive large open-air viewing platform and are well cared for by three to four hosts and a full culinary team.

There are a total of 16 SilverLeaf train cars on Rocky Mountaineer, each of which is a single-level domed car topped with panoramic windows. Guests are served delicious chef-prepared meals at their seats by the two SilverLeaf hosts and one culinary team member.

The dining experience on Rocky Mountaineer is highly regarded for its gourmet-quality cuisine and imaginative, locally inspired menus. Each meal is prepared by the onboard chef using locally sourced ingredients. Breakfast may include regionally produced Canadian cheeses in an omelet or Montreal-style smoked beef showcased in eggs benedict. For lunch, perhaps try locally caught Pacific salmon, roasted Fraser Valley chicken, or braised short ribs from Alberta. The skill and care of a restaurant kitchen go into each course. Enjoy drink pairings and locally produced wines upon request.
