WHY IT RATES: For
travelers who love seeing the world via rail, Rocky Mountaineer offers stunning
views and exceptional value.—Donald Wood, Breaking News Senior Writer.
The first train of Rocky Mountaineer’s 2024 season left its
Vancouver station on April 15, heading for Banff.
The world-renowned glass-domed trains travel through Western
Canada and the American Southwest, offering all-daylight journeys that showcase
some of the most spectacular scenery North America has to offer.
The first departure dates for each of Rocky Mountaineer’s
four unforgettable routes are:
- April 15: First Passage to the West (Vancouver - Kamloops -
Banff)
- April 16: Journey Through the Clouds (Vancouver - Kamloops -
Jasper)
- April 25: Rockies to the Red Rocks (Denver - Glenwood
Springs - Moab)
- April 27: Rainforest to Gold Rush (Vancouver - Whistler -
Quesnel - Jasper)
Features:
Redesigned menus on the Canadian routes provide guests a
choice of meal options that are inspired by the areas the train travels
through. Rocky Mountaineer continues to work with local suppliers to offer
regionally sourced ingredients.
Guests wanting to explore even more of the Canadian Rockies
can combine two iconic rail trips in a Circle Journey package. Our Circle
Journey packages range from eight to 14 nights, with up to five days onboard
the train.
For the first time this year, Rocky Mountaineer is proud to
partner with the Moab Music Festival to connect travelers with one of the most
anticipated musical events in the Southwest. The special edition package,
Sounds in the Southwest will run from September 3 to 11, 2024 offering an
eight-night musical travel experience. More information is here.
Guests can still book to travel on the train in 2024, while
