FOUR EXTRAORDINARY RAIL ROUTES.
Rocky Mountaineer offers four distinct train journeys to experience, each with spectacular natural wonders, outstanding service, and exciting destinations. You can choose to travel Westbound or Eastbound on any of our rail routes.
In Western Canada, select one of our Circle Journey packages that combine two rail routes to create an even more spectacular experience.
FIRST PASSAGE TO THE WEST
Our most popular rail route, First Passage to the West, retraces the historic Canadian Pacific Railway, famous for connecting British Columbia to the rest of Canada over 125 years ago.
JOURNEY
THROUGH THE CLOUDS
By geological standards, the Canadian Rockies are a relatively young mountain range. And since they are so remote, they are essentially untouched. This rail route takes you through some of the most breathtaking and pristine natural beauty on the planet.
RAINFOREST TO GOLD RUSH
THREE-DAY RAIL JOURNEY
Venturing from one extreme to the next in the best possible way, this route traverses the world’s largest temperate rainforest before reaching the arid ranchlands of the historic Cariboo Gold Rush region.
ROCKIES TO THE RED ROCKS
Filled with highlights best seen by rail, explore the American Southwest on this route between Denver and Moab. From vast canyons to natural sandstone arches, you will see it all, as you traverse through extraordinary landscapes.
JOURNEY INTO THE EXTRAORDINARY.
Beyond every marvellous train journey lies a new destination to discover—each spectacular in its own way. From vibrant cities teeming with activity to quaint towns nestled in majestic mountains, or surrounded by stunning red rock formations, the panoramic views are endless.
As a daylight-only train, you’ll spend the day onboard, immersed in unbelievable scenery and service, and the evening exploring, then sleep soundly in one of our partner hotels.
INCREDIBLE DESTINATIONS.
Each rail route crosses unimaginable landscapes, allowing you to discover some of the most iconic and memorable places in North America. Book one of our packages to extend your journey beyond the train, with free time to relax and explore these stunning destinations at your leisure.
