Rocky Mountaineer Travel Specialist

Moraine Lake

One of the most beautiful places in Canada is Banff National Park.  The Rockies are a majestic place filled with breathtaking beauty, endless forests and turquoise lakes.

Imagine this — you arrive at the Rocky Mountaineer station in Vancouver early in the morning, greeted with a warm smile, a welcome drink, and the comfort of knowing everything is taken care of. From the moment you step onboard, you’re not just taking a train — you’re stepping into an experience unlike anything else in Canada.

If you choose GoldLeaf Service (which I highly recommend), you’ll be seated in a bi-level glass-domed coach, giving you uninterrupted views of towering mountains, winding rivers, and wildlife right from your reclining seat. You’ll enjoy gourmet meals freshly prepared by onboard chefs — we’re talking wild salmon, Alberta beef, and wine pairings that showcase the best of BC and Alberta.The train travels only during daylight, so you won’t miss a single sight.

On Day 1, you’ll glide out of Vancouver through the lush Fraser Valley, past dramatic spots like Hell’s Gate and the Thompson River Canyon, eventually stopping in Kamloops for the night. Your hotel stay is included, and your bags are taken care of — you don’t have to lift a finger.

The next morning, you’re back on board with coffee in hand, rolling deeper into the Canadian Rockies. This stretch — from Kamloops to Banff — is the showstopper.

You’ll pass through Kicking Horse Pass, marvel at the Spiral Tunnels, and spot wildlife like bald eagles or bighorn sheep along the way. Your onboard hosts provide fun and fascinating commentary, and yes, the train does slow down for the best photo ops.

By late evening, you’ll arrive in Banff or Lake Louise, nestled in the Rockies. From there, we can arrange an easy transfer to Calgary, or you can extend your stay in Banff to explore the town, hot springs, and nearby lakes.

What I always tell clients is: this isn’t just transportation — it’s an all-inclusive luxury journey through some of the most breathtaking scenery in the world. People come off this trip changed — relaxed, inspired, and already planning to come back.
