Rocky Mountaineer

Rocky Mountaineer is a privately owned Canadian rail tour operator, based in Vancouver and running luxury panoramic-window and glass dome trains through British Columbia and Alberta. Trains travel in daylight hours only — there are no sleeper cars, so every night is spent in a hotel along the route.

There are two rail routes in Western Canada, all sold as multi-day packages with hotels, transfers and sightseeing that agents can extend either side.

Two levels of service

Inside a SilverLeaf coach, with oversized panoramic windows and hosts serving guests at their seats

GoldLeaf Service

Bi-level, full glass dome

The premium level: a full glass dome on the upper deck and a dedicated dining room on the lower level where meals are cooked to order on board. Guests also have a spacious open-air viewing platform, larger reclining seats that rotate for groups of four, and priority baggage handling. GoldLeaf Service runs on both routes.

On board the train

Onboard Hosts share the history and geography of the route as it passes, and meals, snacks and beverages — including British Columbia wines and local craft beer — are included in the fare. Luggage is handled for guests and transferred directly to each hotel, so nobody carries a case between the train and reception.

Clue 8 locked — Hidden in the onboard experience section. Find the pulsing crest to unlock it.

Selling tips

Season

The season runs from mid-April to mid-October, so GoldLeaf and peak July–August dates sell out early. Encourage clients to plan ahead for popular dates and GoldLeaf availability.

Who it suits

Travellers looking for a memorable, premium way to experience the Canadian Rockies — from milestone celebrations and special occasions to anyone who simply wants to take it all in without the driving. Slow travel, no early starts, scenery front and centre.

Upsell

GoldLeaf upgrade, extra nights in Banff or Jasper, and an Alaska cruise either side of a Vancouver arrival.

Answer first

It is a sightseeing train, not a sleeper. Nights are in hotels, and the rail days are roughly 10–11 hours of daylight scenery.
