Our First Hand Experience – The Rocky Mountaineer Train

The Rocky Mountaineer is arguably one of the most breathtaking train journeys in the world. It presents a truly luxurious and unique way to admire the awe-inspiring landscapes that decorate Canada’s wilderness, creating an unforgettable experience you will cherish forever. 

Breathtaking Scenery

Be prepared to be left astonished by the remarkable views that await patiently around every corner, each one even more striking than the last. From magnificent peaks that tower high in the sky above you, flowing rivers that stream beautifully by your side, lush forests that are bustling with life, and snow-capped mountains that wouldn’t look out of place on a postcard... the many backdrops that guide this inspirational journey are truly in a league of their own. 

Fascinating Wildlife

Perhaps the biggest attraction of the Rocky Mountaineer experience is the remarkable wildlife opportunities that are on display. Throughout your journey, you can catch a glimpse of some of the most interesting wildlife on the planet, all in their natural habitat. In the region, you can expect to see Grizzly Bears as they navigate through the forest, colossal Elk as they recharge by the rivers, and soaring Bald Eagles as they proudly parade the skies, amongst many others!

Luxury & Comfort

Find yourself surrounded by total luxury during this remarkable journey. On board, you will find spacious interiors that focus on creating a relaxing and comfortable experience for all guests. In the cabins, you will be met with large windows that allow for clear and unobstructed views, perfect for admiring the surrounding scenery and wildlife. 

Remarkable Service

The service and hospitality provided by the Rocky Mountaineer team is celebrated by guests all around the world. Not only are they eager and ready to cater to your every need, but they are also on hand to answer any questions you may have. You can expect to engage in conversations with an expert team who will share valuable insights and stories about the region. It is their first-hand knowledge, their passion, and their expertise that make this experience stand out from the rest.

Exquisite Dining

The onboard dining alone is a massive part of the Rocky Mountaineer experience. From the comfort of your very own seat, you can enjoy everything from gourmet meals to afternoon snacks, each of which carries a strong focus on locally inspired ingredients. What’s more, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages are available throughout, so you can sip on your favourite tipple as you enjoy a journey like no other.

The Premium GoldLeaf Service

For the ultimate Rocky Mountaineer experience... upgrade to the GoldLeaf Service. You'll be on board a 2-storey coach featuring cosy reclining seats on the top deck and stunning floor-to-ceiling windows throughout. With a greater staff-to-guest ratio, you'll enjoy the most personalised service, as well as in-depth commentary from the hosts regarding the surrounding scenery. Be sure to check out the iconic outdoor viewing platform and breathe in the fresh mountain air as you pass through the Rockies. You will also enjoy 2 fully serviced meals from a premium menu in the backdrop of an exclusive dining room, separate from the rest of the train. And, don't forget to enjoy the complimentary drinks that are on offer too!

Great service and staff

Very friendly knowledgeable staff, I have booked with them a few times now and every member of staff has been the same. Nothing is too much trouble & no question is unaswered no matter how trivial it sounds. I'm hoping to be able to book with them for many more years. I have recommended them to my son who has now booked a cruise for next year too
