ROCKY MOUNTAINEER REDEFINES NORTH AMERICAN RAIL TRAVEL.
OVER THE LAST TWO CENTURIES, RAIL TRAVEL HAS VACILLATED FROM FANCY TO FUNCTIONAL. But for passengers who board Rocky Mountaineer’s famed navy blue and gold coaches, train travel is simply an intoxicating combination of present-day romance, adventure, and natural beauty.

Rocky Mountaineer’s luxurious rail trips offer all the benefits of a road trip — enjoying the continent’s most treasured landscapes at a leisurely pace — without any hassles. Even better, most routes traverse areas cars cannot, meaning much of the scenery is exclusive to train passengers. Travelers can expect to marvel at emerald lakes, lush forests, majestic peaks, and red rock deserts — and they don’t need to do anything except sit back, relax, and enjoy the train ride.
Goldleaf Service
While it’s difficult to top the splendor of the Canadian Rockies, upgrading to GoldLeaf Service on your trip is one way to try. Top-tier amenities include personalized gourmet meals, a bi-level glass dome coach with panoramic windows, and an exclusive outdoor viewing platform — perfect for photographing glacier-fed lakes, picturesque waterfalls, and Canada’s legendary Spiral Tunnels.
Journeys range from two days to seven nights and include overnight accommodations at some of the country’s most esteemed hotels, including The Rimrock Resort Hotel in Banff, Calgary’s Fairmont Palliser, Fairmont Vancouver, and the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge on the shores of Lac Beauvert, located within the boundaries of Jasper National Park , a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Silverleaf Plus
If the American Southwest is more your travel muse, SilverLeaf Plus includes access to coaches with customdesigned glass-domes and oversized windows that usher in views of vast red rock canyons, natural archways, and enchanting desert hoodoos. Exclusive to the Rockies to the Red Rocks route, Rocky Mountaineer’s SilverLeaf Plus offers made-to-order meals, premium beverages, seatside service, lounge car access, comfy reclining chair, and an outdoor viewing area. Return journeys can feature an overnight stay at the upscale Hoodoo Hotel in Moab — a Rocky Mountaineer partner hotel. Located just 10 minutes from Arches National Park and within walking distance to the town’s Main Street, it perfectly blends modern luxury and Western ambiance. A soak in the natural healing hot springs is recommended during a stop in Glenwood Springs, Colorado.
