Rocky Mountaineer View Basket

Journey through the rugged Canadian wilderness… in the least rugged manner possible

LUXURY TRAIN GUIDE | SEATTLE • VANCOUVER • CANADIAN ROCKIES

Sit back in your comfortable reclining seat and take in the incredible views… enjoy the most delicious, chef-prepared meals… Rocky Mountaineer takes you on a slow, meandering, luxurious and exciting train journey through Canada's spectacular West, home to a surprisingly wide variety of flora, fauna and wildlife.

The incredible Canadian Rockies, made up of rugged mountain peaks, ice fields and glaciers, wildflower-filled alpine meadows, lakes and waterfalls, British Columbia's west coast and the world's largest remaining intact temperate rainforest, the breathtaking Pyramid Falls, the desert-like conditions of the Fraser Canyon and the pastoral ranchlands of the historic Cariboo Gold Rush region, to name a few Rocky Mountaineer route highlights.

Travelling only by day and often at just 40 kilometres per hour, not only will you have time to catch every detail of the jaw-dropping landscape, but you'll also make friendships that last a lifetime.

Routes that will transport you, in more ways than one.

Rocky Mountaineer offers four distinct rail routes. You now have the unenviable task of choosing between wonderful, fabulous, amazing, and fantastic.
