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.
You can take the Rocky Mountaineer train journey back, Jasper to Vancouver via Kamloops, Jasper to Vancouver via Whistler (subject to availability on the preferred dates) or choose to return by flight. If you prefer alternative travel options, our team will be happy to assist with personalized suggestions and arrangements.
Absolutely! Rocky Mountaineer offers assistance with boarding and detraining at every stop. However, it is essential to let them know about your mobility or accessibility requirements at the time of booking or fill up the Accessibility Requirements Form to ensure everything is arranged for a smooth, comfortable journey.
