Top 5 reasons to ride the rails with Rocky Mountaineer

All aboard the Rocky Mountaineer – from the minute the coach doors close, you know you’re in for the adventure of a lifetime! The wow factor goes beyond the plush leather seats and well-designed cabins. Just glance out the window, and you’ll see that there is simply no better way to take in the beauty of the Canadian wilderness.

Haven’t been yet? Here are the five top reasons why a Rocky Mountaineer adventure is a travel must!

Peace and quiet 

Every Rocky Mountaineer journey offers the chance to fully unplug. You’ll pass through remote regions of the Canadian Rockies that are only accessible by train, which means that cell service is minimal and there is no Wi-Fi onboard. This provides the perfect opportunity for guests to connect with nature and socialize with one another.

Gourmet cuisine 

An adventure onboard Rocky Mountaineer is a feast for the senses, with gourmet cuisine accompanied by stunning scenery and award-winning service. Rocky Mountaineer’s Executive Chefs create menus that highlight local ingredients inspired by the bounty of the passing regions. Each day begins with a delectable breakfast, and later, guests are called to the white tablecloth dining room for lunch. The culinary trip is highlighted by prize-winning wines from British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley, local Canadian beers, and the finest spirits.

Awe-inspiring vistas 

Have your camera ready. The breathtaking views of Western Canada and the Pacific Northwest unfolding around you are waiting to be captured. Even better, the all-glass domes allow riders to surround themselves in the vast landscapes much more than ordinary trains. Spot the wildlife: elk, bald eagles, bighorn sheep, and bears can all be seen from your seat.

Spellbinding storytelling 

The team of Onboard Hosts provide both award-winning service and rich historical storytelling that highlights and complements each itinerary’s unique route through the mountains. Not only will passengers leave the journey with Rocky Mountaineer having seen the most incredible sights that Western Canada has to offer, but they’ll also learn all about the history of the railways and their importance to Canada’s past.

Unique travel 

With four unique routes to choose from, the unforgettable all-daylight journeys offer romance and history, reminding you that travelling is as much about the journey as it is about the destination. When an onboard journey ends, a new one can begin – wherever you choose!
