Your itinerary is personalized to suit your dreams and needs:
Spend a night in a private cabin on the train as you head into the Canadian Rockies. Wake up and see the peaks of the mountains come into view. Keep your eyes open for wildlife, as you are likely to see elk, bears, and bald eagles. Spend the next 4 days exploring the Rockies from Jasper to Banff, before boarding the Rocky Mountaineer train back to Vancouver.
Find out what is included in your trip and have all your questions answered. We are here to help.
Welcome to Vancouver, one of the world's most beautiful cities, surrounded by towering mountains and the sparkling ocean. From the very beginning, we ensure your vacation is off to the best start. We’ve taken care of every detail — from your excursions to the best dining experiences.
Explore Vancouver, a coastal city on the mainland of British Columbia. The city’s modern, high-rise buildings sit between the Pacific Ocean and the Coast Mountains, in a truly picturesque setting of soaring peaks, ancient forests, and sandy beaches.
Board The Canadian train in Vancouver. Settle into your private cabin and watch the ever-changing scenery as you travel through beautiful British Columbia. See lush farmland and berry fields, winding river canyons, and pristine forests.
Awake to see the towering peaks of the Canadian Rockies all around you, including Mount Robson, the highest peak in the Rockies. After breakfast, step off the train in the charming mountain town of Jasper and get ready to explore Jasper National Park.
Jasper National Park — the largest park in the Canadian Rockies — is one of our favourite destinations. You can look forward to spending the day exploring Canada’s most authentic mountain town, where the wild never left the wilderness.
Travel along the spine of the Rockies on one of the most beautiful routes in the world — the Icefields Parkway. Along the way, watch for cascading waterfalls and dramatic peaks, mountain goats, elk, and even bears.
Fill your lungs with cool, fresh Rocky Mountain air and head out to explore Banff National Park at your chosen pace.
Board the Rocky Mountaineer train for the second part of your rail adventure. Just sit back and enjoy the breathtaking beauty as you pass Banff and Yoho National Parks.
Board the Rocky Mountaineer again and continue your train journey through British Columbia's interior. By the evening, you'll be in beautiful Vancouver.
Much too soon, leave the fresh air and mountains of Canada behind you as you journey home.
