- Rocky Mountaineer Rail Service
Goldleaf Service
Relax and enjoy unparalleled panoramic views from a custom-designed, two level, glass-domed GoldLeaf coach aboard Rocky Mountaineer. Included is a spacious outdoor viewing area and premium dining options prepared by on-board chefs.
Silverleaf Service
Take in the awe-inspiring scenery through the windows of a custom-designed, single-level dome coach. Dinner will be served at your seat and complimentary snacks & beverages will be provided to you throughout the journey.
Pent-up demand for Canadian vacations has been extremely high, and we highly recommend booking your seats as early as possible (to secure your preferred date and avoid hotel downgrades).
Individual pick-ups are not included in the tour, so we recommend taking a taxi to the Rocky Mountaineer train station (1755 Cottrell St).
Onboard the Rocky Mountaineer, you’ll be cared for by a dedicated team committed to exceptional service — and their gratuities are included as part of your package price.
However, gratuities are not included for sightseeing tour guides or drivers. Tipping is entirely at your discretion, though in Canada it’s customary to offer a gratuity in recognition of excellent service.
Rocky Mountaineer operates exclusively during the daytime so that you can really enjoy the breathtaking scenery along the route. Every day of travel begins early in the morning, usually around 6:00 and 8:00 a.m., and ends late afternoon, about 5:00 p.m., and that’s when you check into your overnight hotel.
