Destinations

Life is about the journey, but the destination is fun too. Whenever the train pulls into the station, you will find yourself somewhere enchanting. We will take you to the most iconic spots in the Canadian Rockies. Visit Jasper, Alberta, a charming town tucked into the biggest national park in the Canadian Rockies. Or choose a route that takes you to Banff, Alberta, which boasts a magical combination of rugged mountain peaks, lush parks, mineral hot springs, ample wildlife, and a thriving food and wine scene. Just outside of Banff is Lake Louise, a turquoise-tinged lake set against a breathtaking background. The nearby city of Calgary, Alberta, was once the heart of the Old West and is now a thriving urban centre with plenty of cultural offerings and high-end shopping. Every July, the city’s Western roots are on display at the Calgary Stampede, a famous rodeo that hosts more than one million visitors.

Explore the most breathtaking, cosmopolitan cities in the Pacific Northwest. Seattle, Washington, USA, is surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, two mountain ranges, and three national parks. Its compact downtown core makes it easy to navigate the many attractions. Vancouver, British Columbia— sandwiched between the North Shore Mountains and the Pacific Ocean—boasts stunning panoramic views, beaches galore, and fine restaurants. From Vancouver, follow the Rainforest to Gold Rush route up to Whistler, the top resort town in North America.

Stroll around quaint little towns dotting the landscape of British Columbia. Kamloops is a charming, perennially sunny spot, with scenic landscapes that range from semi-arid desert to lush forest. Quesnel, also known as Gold Pan City, for the droves of prospectors hunting for gold there in the 1850s, is full of heritage appeal. Each destination is alluring in its own way. But they all have one thing in common: you’ll be glad you visited.

Route Fact

Coastal Passage takes you along Puget Sound, a large coastal region between Seattle, Washington, and Vancouver, British Columbia. Its waters are home to over 200 species of fish, including several types of salmon, and 100 species of seabirds.

13


Our Routes: Coastal Passage

When ocean and mountains intersect, magic happens. From the port city of Seattle, breathe in the fresh ocean air and gaze upon sparkling coastal views. Our Coastal Passage route hugs the shoreline between Seattle and Vancouver, offering incredible views of the Pacific Ocean, coastal rainforest, and the Coast Mountains before heading east into the Canadian Rockies. And you get to take it all in from the comfort of Rocky Mountaineer—kind of like your limousine on rails.

All with the majestic volcanic cone of Mount Baker dominating the distant skyline. Eventually, you’ll reach the beachside city of White Rock, on your way to the gleaming glass towers of Vancouver. Spend one or more nights in Vancouver prior to continuing on your Canadian Rockies rail journey.

TRAIN DAY 2 & BEYOND: Vancouver to Canadian Rockies Walkable, temperate, and endlessly beautiful, Vancouver is a must-visit destination. It’s also your gateway to the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Let Coastal Passage be a spectacular start or end to your 2017 adventure on one of our three main routes. Take our Journey through the Clouds route to the charming mountain town of Jasper.

i

Route Fact

The Fraser River Gold Rush was the first major gold rush in British Columbia. Starting in 1858, it brought thousands of hopeful prospectors to the shores of the Fraser River.

17


Our Routes: Rainforest to Gold Rush

The gold rush may be over, but there are still many treasures to find along the way. Our newest three-day route takes you from one extreme to the next, in the best way possible. From the world’s largest temperate rainforest to a desert. From a vibrant city to a quaint mountain town. From tranquil ranchland to some of the most untamed wilderness anywhere on the planet. TRAIN DAY 1: Vancouver to Whistler Beginning at the foot of the Coast Mountains, overlooking the stunning city of Vancouver, British Columbia, you’ll roll along the scenic fjord of Howe Sound. Making your way past massive cliffs and over bridges, you’ll arrive at Whistler in the early afternoon and spend the night in comfortable hotel accommodations. One of the world’s top ski resorts, Whistler co-hosted the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. TRAIN DAY 2: Whistler to Quesnel The next day, travel up the Pemberton Valley, and glide beside gorgeous Anderson and Seton Lakes. Turning north and west, the landscape becomes more rugged. More wild. Sheer cliffs on one side, milky green lakes

on the other. You’ll emerge into the arid ranchland near Quesnel, Canada’s gold rush capital. The gold rush may be over, but there are still many treasures to be found in this historic region. TRAIN DAY 3: Quesnel to Jasper After an overnight hotel stay in Quesnel, you'll head north again. Wide-eyed, you'll experience mountainous terrain, untouched lakes, and incredible waterfalls. You'll gradually gain altitude and enter the Canadian Rocky Mountains. The awesome sight of Mount Robson, the range's highest peak, will greet you as you wind your way to the alluring alpine town of Jasper, Alberta. Every step of the way, your emotions will follow the extremes of the journey, from silent awe to uncontained elation.

Route Fact

A route for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and wildlife aficionados, Journey through the Clouds traverses through the awesome peaks of the Canadian Rockies. This raw wilderness, much of it protected by national parks, is home to large animals like elk, bears, mountain goats, and moose, and birds like great horned owls, ospreys, Canada geese, and bald eagles.

21


Our Routes: Journey through the Clouds

The train will move you through stunning landscapes. But you'll stay on cloud nine. By geology standards, the Canadian Rockies are a relatively young mountain range. Young. Wild. Untamed. Our Journey through the Clouds route takes you through some of the most untouched, most breathtaking natural beauty on the planet. TRAIN DAY 1: Vancouver to Kamloops Your journey starts gently, moving through the fertile farmland of the Fraser Valley and the rolling hills of the Coast Mountains. As your train gains altitude beyond the town of Hope, the Fraser River narrows and the waters run rampant. The train will slow to fully appreciate Hell’s Gate, a narrow canyon where the volume of water rushing through is about three times greater than Niagara Falls. At the midway point of your journey, near your overnight stop of Kamloops, the river valley remains lush and green while sagebrush covers the surrounding desert-like hills.

TRAIN DAY 2: Kamloops to Jasper When you board the train after spending the night in a charming Kamloops hotel, you will follow the North Thompson River, slowing to take in Pyramid Falls, a 91.5-metre (300-foot) cascade of white water. After giving you time to pick up your jaw, the train continues on to the Yellowhead Pass. Moving past teal-green lakes, you’ll close in on Mount Robson, a mountain so high it has its own weather system. The striking thing about this route is that once you’ve seen what you think is the most beautiful sight ever, something even more stunning comes along. To cap it all off, you’ll wind up in the alluring alpine town of Jasper, Alberta.

Our Routes: First Passage to the West

Travel back in time to the Wild West, and watch it all from your luxurious time machine. Visitors to Canada—and Canadians too—are often struck by the sheer size of this country. Dividing the east and west of this immense territory is a boundary of almost unimaginable magnitude: the Canadian Rockies. The range’s mammoth proportions make the rail line that united the country all the more profound. Our First Passage to the West route retraces the steps of the 19th-century explorers who first forged a route to the west, and gives a living history lesson on the building of a nation. TRAIN DAY 1: Vancouver to Kamloops Board Rocky Mountaineer in the urban oasis of Vancouver, British Columbia, and journey through the farmlands of the Fraser Valley. From fertile greenery, the landscape transforms to the towering peaks of the Coast Mountains. You’ll see the mighty Fraser River and the raging white waters of Hell’s Gate. Then, the landscape undergoes another transformation and you’ll find yourself amid scrub brush and desert. You will pull in to overnight at a hotel in the city of Kamloops.

TRAIN DAY 2: Kamloops to Banff or Lake Louise Your journey continues east along the South Thompson River. You will witness the historic spot at Craigellachie where the last spike was driven home on the Canadian Pacific Railway line, joining the two sides of one nation. You’ll ride through the Spiral Tunnels, a century-old engineering feat that helped tame the Rockies. En route to the charming alpine town of Banff, or breathtaking Lake Louise, you’ll see gushing waterfalls, and glaciers clinging to mountains that touch the sky. Be a modern-day explorer. Experience the rugged wilderness from your comfortable seat in the lap of luxury.

Seasons

When to Travel We want you to experience our routes at their absolute best. The good news is that anytime is the perfect time to travel onboard Rocky Mountaineer, as all seasons we operate in are beautiful.

APRIL–MAY

Spring Lakes, streams, and waterfalls swell with the melting remnants of winter and snowcapped mountain peaks. Bears lumber out of hibernation. Flowers blossom. The wilderness comes alive and it’s yours to savour. The crowds of summer tourists have yet to arrive in April and May.

JUNE–AUGUST

Summer Warm weather urges vegetation to flourish. Newborn animals emerge under their parents’ watchful eyes. The days grow longer. The rainforest is at its most lush and the arid desert canyons have an especially rugged beauty during June, July, and August.

SEPTEMBER–OCTOBER

Autumn

The forests create a vibrant display of red, orange, and gold, mixed with evergreen. Snow frosts the mountain peaks. The animals forage through the wilderness to prepare for the coming winter. The crowds of summer tourists are waning in September and October.

Customization: Rail & Sonora Resort

NEW OPTION

Visit Sonora Resort, where wilderness meets luxury.

1 Sonora Resort is situated in British Columbia’s remote Discovery Islands.

This five-star resort is so exclusive that it’s only accessible by air or by sea. Don’t worry, we’ll fly you in. 1

44

2

2 Take a dip in the outdoor pool, with the ocean stretching out before you. 3 This corner of the world is home to a large array of wildlife, including orcas.


Our newest partnership offers you the option of combining Sonora Resort—a five-star all-inclusive getaway in the wilderness—with a Rocky Mountaineer rail journey. A match made in heaven, if we do say so ourselves. Sonora Resort is nestled in British Columbia’s Discovery Islands on a remote stretch of pristine coastal rainforest replete with 800-year-old cedars. But it’s far from rustic. The accommodations and amenities are a far cry from roughing it. Choose from an abundance of outdoor activities offered, or enjoy the lavish on-site features. We suggest a mix of both. What better way to wind down from hiking and biking through unspoiled wilderness than rejuvenating at the spa? Or, perhaps you’ll decide to add on an eco-adventure tour, guided salmon fishing, or a grizzly bear tour. After, you can relax in the rooftop hot tubs, hop into the sauna, take in a movie, or visit the putting green.

Enjoy Executive Chef Terry Pichor’s outstanding seasonal menus featuring local ingredients. Chat with the sommelier about which wines to sample from the wellstocked cellar. Whatever you choose to do, make sure you bring along the binoculars provided in every room. The area is teeming with wildlife like eagles, sea lions, black bears, grizzly bears, porpoises, Pacific white-sided dolphins, orcas, and more. This Relais & Châteaux resort is truly something to call home about—and yes, international phone calls are complimentary. See pages 82 and 92 for rail and Sonora packages.

Optional Add-On Activities*

Getting Here

Eco-Adventure Tour

Guided salmon fishing

Grizzly bear tour

Fly-in access

Tour the Discovery Islands in a Polaris vessel with a wilderness guide. Take in the amazing views, learn about the history of the area, and look out for the abundant wildlife around these parts, including bald eagles, Pacific white-sided dolphins, and killer whales.

Fish for chinook salmon in the calm waters surrounding the Sonora Resort. You’ll be provided with everything you need—bait and tackle, floater suits, life jackets, rain gear, boots, a saltwater fishing licence—and an experienced guide.

In late August, September, and October, grizzly bears lumber to the Orford River to feast on spawning salmon. Travel by boat up Bute Inlet, and then drive through the rainforest to viewing towers along the riverbank and see if you can spot the elusive creatures in their natural habitat.

Transportation to the resort is included and is either by a one-hour helicopter or float plane flight from YVR South Terminal. Guests also receive transfers to/from their Vancouver hotel and the airport for their Sonora Resort flight.

*Available at additional cost.

Route Fact

The spectacular Brandywine Falls drops a dramatic 70 metres (230 feet) from a sharp cliff edge. According to local legend, Brandywine got its name when two surveyors struck a wager about the height of the falls. The winner came away with a bottle of brandy—which was originally referred to as brandywine.

Our newest three day route connects Vancouver, British Columbia, to Jasper, Alberta, with overnight hotel stays in Whistler and Quesnel. This route boasts the most diverse terrain of any of our routes. From the stunning city of Vancouver, British Columbia, you’ll wind up to Whistler, taking in the coastal temperate rainforest along the way. Then roll past the glorious Anderson and Seton Lakes to the arid ranchland near Quesnel, Canada’s gold rush capital. From there, it’s on to the Canadian Rockies where you’ll

encounter placid glacier-fed lakes and stunning Mount Robson, the range’s highest peak. Like all of our routes, guests can also choose to travel westbound, from Jasper to Vancouver. Overnight in hotel accommodation throughout your journey.

Gratuities are not included in prices (unless indicated) for Rocky Mountaineer Hosts, driver-guides, transfers, tour escorts, hotel porterage, or Red Cap Porters.

You can find a recommended breakdown based on class of service and journey at rockymountaineer.com, in the Travel FAQs section. If you are travelling on an organized tour, you may want to check with your Tour Director to confirm the amount of gratuity for your Hosts that may have been included in your tour package. 6.

Guests are able to move through their own coach and can enjoy fresh air outside their coaches. Access to the GoldLeaf Service dome coach vestibule is limited to guests reserving this service. 7. AM I ABLE TO BRING MY PET ALONG? All pets or animals (excluding qualified service animals for guests with disabilities) are prohibited from travelling onboard Rocky Mountaineer. 8.

There are wonderful opportunities for viewing wildlife during your stay in Canada’s West, including bear, elk, deer, moose, bald eagles, osprey, salmon, mountain goats, and bighorn sheep. However, “wildlife is wild” and, as such, sightings are never guaranteed. If you do come into contact with animals, please act responsibly, maintain a safe distance, and never feed any wild animal. 12. DOES ROCKY MOUNTAINEER STOP FOR PHOTOGRAPHS ALONG THE ROUTE? No, the train slows to a very slow speed at particularly scenic locations to ensure guests have time for photographs. 13. DOES THE SUMMIT HELICOPTER FLY IN INCLEMENT WEATHER?

Terms & Conditions 1. General Terms & Conditions Please read the following information carefully, as the terms and conditions described herein constitute an agreement between you and those who provide the service. If you decide to travel with Rocky Mountaineer and make payment on a tour, you thereby agree to accept the terms and conditions of this contract. 2. Brochure Prices All prices herein are quoted in Australian (AUD) dollars and include Canadian GST and port taxes. Please refer to Section 4 for further details regarding GST. Prices and information in this brochure are for the 2017 season and are subject to change without notice. 3. Exchange Rate The exchange rate used in calculating the published prices has been determined by Rocky Mountaineer based upon current and expected currency exchange rates at time of publication. As such, the converted AUD prices appearing in this brochure should only be used as a guide, and may differ from the price at actual time of booking. Rocky Mountaineer cannot be held responsible for any changes that may occur and reserves the right to increase the price of any travel arrangement up to the date of departure. This includes, but is not limited to, exchange rate adjustments, fuel surcharges, and airfare increases. Deposits along with final payments must be in the same currency as the booking. Changes to bookings such as alterations to services, or cancellations are charged in the same currency of the original booking, and each change is subject to the current pricing as per the date of change. 4. Canadian Goods and Services Tax (GST) All prices are subject to GST, which will be charged upon confirmation of booking. Currently, the Canadian GST rate is 5%. Other sales taxes vary by province in Canada; therefore, applicable taxes may vary for packages with services delivered outside of British Columbia. Guests who are not residents of Canada are eligible for a rebate of the GST paid on short-term accommodation. If they are purchasing their rail tour from outside Canada, Rocky Mountaineer may claim the rebate on their behalf. The result is a 50% reduction in the tax rate. When non-resident guests purchase their rail tour while in Canada, Rocky Mountaineer charges GST at the full rate, and any GST rebate to which a visitor to Canada may be entitled must be claimed from the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency directly by the guest. This short-term accommodation rebate is subject to change without notice and does not apply to cruise or overnight rail trips. Note: Canadian taxes are subject to change. As such, guest billings may be adjusted as required. 5. Rail-Only and Package Tour Inclusions The following costs are not included unless otherwise specified: GST, fuel surcharges, transfers, gratuities, alcoholic beverages, meals, room service or other hotel incidentals, items of a personal nature, and all other items not specified in the description of the applicable tour. If one of our packages does not meet your requirements, we will be pleased to customize your rail tour package. Ask your Vacation Consultant for details. Individual tour component pricing breakdowns are not available. 6. Self-Drive Packages and Car Rental Policies Minimum requirements for car rental: • Driver must be 25 years of age, or older, • Possess a valid driver's licence, and • Hold a major credit card. If the driver's licence is not in English, an International Driving Permit is required. This is required for translation purposes to confirm the validity of the driver's licence for the safety of renters and for the car rental company. A credit card deposit will be required at time of car rental pick-up to cover costs not included in the Rocky Mountaineer package. These costs are the responsibility of the renter and are payable when the vehicle is returned. A car rental day is based on a 24-hour period. For example, if you have a 3-day car rental and you pick up your car at 10 am, it must be returned at or before 10 am 3 days later; otherwise, you will be charged an extra day’s car rental. Please provide approximate pick-up time and location at time of reservation. Confirmation of drop-off time will be provided when the car is picked up. Rates are available at participating locations in

Possible Alterations Rocky Mountaineer reserves the right to modify, alter, or substitute all or any part of its services when reasonably necessary or advisable. Should this occur, Rocky Mountaineer agrees to provide the best alternative reasonably available. Every effort will be made to adhere to the specifics shown herein; however, circumstances may necessitate alteration, including the occasional accommodation change from properties listed in this brochure. Hence, all fares, schedules, itineraries, hours of arrival and departure, air schedules, and special programs are subject to change without notice at any time.

Supplier’s Liabilities Rocky Mountaineer and Armstrong Group act as an agent for and make arrangements with airlines, hotels, bus lines, and other independent parties to provide you with non-rail travel services and accommodations. Although great care is taken to choose suppliers, we are unable to directly control them and therefore we are not responsible for their acts or omissions.

Force Majeure Rocky Mountaineer and Armstrong Group will not be responsible for the performance of this agreement if prevented or delayed by acts of God, strikes or other labour relations matters, accidents, weather, traffic, airport conditions, lack of performance by third-party suppliers, or other causes beyond their reasonable control from meeting its terms.
