Canada Rail Holidays
See the remarkable landscapes of Alberta and British Columbia, among the most spectacular in Canada, on board the iconic Rocky Mountaineer – one of the world’s most impressive rail journeys and undoubtedly Canada’s most famous.
The Rocky Mountaineer travels between Vancouver and the Rockies via three different scenic routes throughout the summer.
The 2-day journey offers an unforgettable and relaxing way to explore the great backbone of North America, a towering wilderness of forests, lakes, alpine meadows and ice fields. Treat yourself to the Gold Leaf Service and take advantage of the train’s domed viewing carriage for uninterrupted mountain views. Several of our Canada holidays feature the Rocky Mountaineer, or as specialists in tailor made travel we can create an itinerary exactly to suit you, so whether you choose a taster 3.5 hour journey from Vancouver to Whistler or opt for a 2-day classic to Banff, Jasper or Calgary, this is one of Canada’s iconic experiences, not to be missed.
