Rail Travel On Board Rocky Mountaineer
Guests will be spending nine hours per day on board the Rocky Mountaineer, which provides invaluable time to observe the passing scenery and wildlife. There are no power sockets and little phone signal on board, so laptops and mobile phones are not advised. You can, however, organise extensions to your trip and additional sightseeing opportunities can be arranged.
Itineraries have a duration of two days or more and travel across some of the most spectacular terrain in Canada. Voyage between Banff and Calgary while crossing the glorious Continental Divide, or depart from Vancouver and head towards Fraser Valley, admiring the rocky waters at Hell’s Gate en route. Follow the Thompson River, deep into the interior, before arriving in Kamloops, or head towards Jasper, passing by waterfalls, glaciers and the highest mountain in the Canadian Rockies, Mount Robson. Alternatively, you could venture towards the popular ski resort of Whistler and then traverse past Canadian farmland, high desert and the Cariboo Plateau. Either way, you are guaranteed a formidable, inspirational journey across the spectacular landscapes of Canada.
