Rocky Mountaineer offers incredible train journeys
along three distinct rail routes, each with spectacular
scenery and outstanding service. The most challenging
part of your journey is deciding which one
to experience.
FIRST PASSAGE TO THE WEST
TWO-DAY RAIL JOURNEY
VANCOUVER | KAMLOOPS | LAKE LOUISE OR BANFF
Over 125 years ago, this rail route united Canada and helped
define a nation. Travelling between the Pacific coast and Banff
or Lake Louise, you’ll see mountains and wilderness,
much of it unchanged since the days of the explorers.

JOURNEY THROUGH THE CLOUDS
TWO-DAY RAIL JOURNEY
