Rocky Mountaineer: Luxury Rail Tours in Western Canada

One of the great ways to experience Canada's natural wonders is by luxury rail. Rocky Mountaineer passes through the pristine and rarely seen wilderness of areas such as the Cariboo Gold Rush region and the Continental Divide toward Mount Robson, the most prominent mountain in the Canadaian Rockies.

Sit back and relax while you enjoy exceptional service and panoramic views from the glass domes of the famed two-story GoldLeaf coaches, enjoy three-course a la carte meals with award-winning Canadian wines in the dining car.

The Rocky Mountaineer travels during daylight hours so you don't miss any of the fabulous landscapes. On overnight itineraries, accommodations are in local hotels.
