Before long, you enjoy your first meal of the day, which is inspired by the region in which you are travelling through.

CANADIAN DESTINATIONS.
Explore the magnificent beauty of the Canadian Rockies and West Coast through our destinations and overnight midpoint stops.
BANFF
Located in Banff National Park, this iconic mountain town offers everything from natural hot springs and gondola rides to a thriving culinary and shopping scene.

CANADIAN DESTINATIONS.
VANCOUVER
With a backdrop of endless mountains and glistening ocean, Vancouver is simply aweinspiring.

Experience West Coast culture with a flourishing art, music, and Michelin-star dining scene or take a leisurely stroll around one of the city’s many beaches.
CALGARY
Saddling the border between cosmopolitan oasis and cowboy-country, Calgary is a thriving city that dishes out an extra serving of downhome hospitality to every visitor. Wander through Calgary’s green rolling foothills or explore the city’s high-end shopping scene and transform into your own version of a modern day cowboy.

KAMLOOPS & QUESNEL (MIDPOINTS)
As a daylight-only train, all guests stop overnight in one or more of our midpoint destinations. Here, you’ll sleep in a hotel at night and board the train in the morning for another day of rail travel.

You will stop overnight in Kamloops on our First Passage to the West and Journey through the Clouds routes and in Quesnel on our Rainforest to Gold Rush Route.
AMERICAN SOUTHWEST DESTINATIONS.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.
ONBOARD THE TRAIN
DO YOU SLEEP ON THE TRAIN?
Our train does not have sleeper cars. As a daylight only train, you will spend your days on the train and spend your night(s) in a comfortable hotel. This way, you will not miss a moment of the stunning scenery along your journey.
WHAT ARE ROCKY MOUNTAINEER’S HEALTH AND SAFETY PROTOCOLS?
Your health and safety is our highest priority. As government guidelines and industry best practices continue to evolve, we will continue to update and enhance our health and safety protocols. For the latest information, visit www.rockymountaineer.com/health-and-safety
DOES ROCKY MOUNTAINEER STOP FOR PHOTOGRAPHS ALONG THE ROUTE?
No, but the train slows down at particularly scenic locations to ensure you have time for photographs.
HOW DO YOU ASSIGN SEATS?
When you check in, you will receive your pre-assigned seat and overnight accommodation in Kamloops, Whistler and Quesnel, or Glenwood Springs.

Please note: we are unable to accommodate specific seat or coach requests.
WILL THERE BE A RANGE OF CULINARY OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO MEET DIETARY REQUIREMENTS?
Our onboard menu will have a selection of options to cater to various tastes and requirements. If you have a specific dietary requirement, either an allergy or restriction, please inform us directly or through your travel professional at least 60 days prior to the train departure.

WHAT IS THE PROTOCOL CONCERNING GRATUITIES?

If you are travelling on an organized tour, you may want to check with your Tour Director to confirm if gratuities have been included in your tour itinerary.
AM I ABLE TO MOVE AROUND ONBOARD ROCKY MOUNTAINEER?
One of the advantages of train travel is the spacious room afforded to all guests. We allow safe movement through your own coach, including an outdoor viewing area to enjoy fresh air, that is accessible only to guests in your coach.

All pets or animals (excluding qualified service animals) are prohibited from travelling onboard Rocky Mountaineer.

On any of our rail routes, you may see bear, elk, deer, moose, bald eagles, osprey, salmon, mountain goats, and bighorn sheep. Sightings are never guaranteed. If you do encounter animals, please act responsibly, maintain a safe distance, and never feed any wild animal.
IS TRAVELLING EASTBOUND BETTER THAN WESTBOUND?
Our rail routes are spectacular in either direction and will include the same highlights and scenery. We encourage guests to choose the direction of travel based on their own schedule requirements and availability at the time of booking.
SHOULD I PLAN CONNECTING TRANSPORTATION OR DINNER RESERVATIONS ON RAIL TRAVEL DAYS?
Rail travel in North America is occasionally subject to unforeseen delays. For that reason, please do not arrange connecting transportation, including flights, or dinner reservations on these days.
