The Rocky Mountaineer

The majesty of the Rockies meets the comfort of luxury train travel.

Journey like no other

“Your journey with Rocky Mountaineer will not be measured in miles; you
will measure it in moments. The moment you felt at home as you stepped
onboard. The moment the earth fell away to a speck as you cross over
a soaring bridge. The moment a curious bald eagle swoops low to get
a better look at you. The moment you meet a friend who happens to be
from the other side of the world. The moment you forget to breathe as the
Canadian Rocky Mountains come into view for the first time. The moment
your host hugs you farewell. Yes, the moments will come and go just as the
mile markers do. And when you have arrived at the end of this journey, you
may find you have arrived at a different you.”

What you need to know about the Rocky Mountaineer

The Rocky Mountaineer is a luxury train experience through the rocky mountains of Canada. Recently they have added in a new route in the US between Denver and Moab.
The Rocky Mountaineer is unlike most other luxury rail experiences in the fact that you do not sleep on the train. Every night you disembark and stay at a premium property (where available).
The train is custom built to offer a luxurious onboard experience with fantastic views of the surroundings.
This is slow travel, taking your time winding along countryside which is mostly inaccessible otherwise.
Hosts will provide commentary on notable sights along the way to ensure you don’t miss the alpine treasures.
The Canadian Rockies departures only run around 6 months a year. Combined with the surging demand for travel in general, and meaningful experiences in particular, there is a scarcity in availability and early bookings are advised.
