Explore the Canadian Rockies in Style and Comfort

17 August 2026

For travellers who want more than a holiday, Rocky Mountaineer offers a breathtaking way to experience the Rockies from the comfort of a luxury glass-dome train.

There are some journeys that stay with people long after they return home. Rocky Mountaineer is one of them. As the train winds through the Canadian Rockies in daylight, guests can sit back and watch snow-capped peaks, rushing rivers, deep forests and dramatic valleys unfold from panoramic windows. With attentive hosts, locally inspired dining and carefully designed comfort throughout, it is an experience that feels effortless, memorable and deeply personal.

GoldLeaf Service: Elevated Luxury from Start to Finish

Five-star comfort with unforgettable views
For those who want the journey to feel truly special, GoldLeaf Service is the most indulgent way to travel. Guests relax in a bi-level glass-dome coach, where sweeping views fill the upper level, while beautifully prepared meals are served in a dedicated dining room below. It is refined, comfortable and wonderfully unhurried — the sort of experience that turns travel time into one of the highlights of the holiday.

Room With a View
The bi-level glass-dome coach gives guests space to settle in and take in the scenery from every angle. Spacious seating on the upper level keeps the views front and centre, while the lower-level dining room adds a sense of occasion to every meal.

Outdoor Viewing Platform
When the scenery calls for a closer look, the exclusive outdoor viewing platform offers fresh mountain air and uninterrupted photo opportunities. It is the perfect place to feel the scale of the landscape as the train moves through it.

You’ll Taste the Difference
Dining is a memorable part of the GoldLeaf experience. Elegant dishes, regional ingredients and attentive service create the feeling of a fine restaurant on rails, with the Rockies providing a constantly changing backdrop outside the window.

Award-Winning Service
The onboard hosts help bring the journey to life, sharing stories about landmarks, pointing out wildlife and taking care of the small details that make travel feel seamless. Guests can simply relax, raise a glass and enjoy the moment.

SilverLeaf Service: Relaxed Luxury with Every View Included

A beautifully comfortable way to see the Rockies
SilverLeaf Service is ideal for travellers who want a stylish, rewarding and wonderfully scenic rail experience. From the comfort of a single-level glass-dome coach, guests enjoy panoramic views, delicious meals and beverages served at their seat, friendly hosts and complimentary baggage transfers. It is relaxed, easy and full of moments that invite guests to slow down and take everything in.

See it All
Oversized windows frame the passing scenery beautifully, making it easy to photograph the mountains, forests and river valleys without leaving the comfort of a reclining seat. When guests want a little fresh air, the outdoor viewing area offers another way to connect with the landscape.

A Feast for Your Senses
Meals are served directly to each seat, so guests never have to choose between dining and the view. Every course becomes part of the experience, enjoyed as the scenery continues to unfold outside.

Smiles for Miles
The friendly onboard team adds warmth and personality to the journey, serving meals, sharing stories and helping guests feel completely looked after. SilverLeaf offers a thoughtful balance of comfort, scenery and value — a wonderful choice for clients who want the magic of Rocky Mountaineer without the highest level of indulgence.
Ready to find out which experience is right for you? Whether clients are drawn to the elevated luxury of GoldLeaf or the relaxed comfort of SilverLeaf, the best way to choose is to talk through the route, travel style and little details that matter most.
