Trains provide a fantastic way to travel, allowing you to enjoy your surroundings whilst taking the responsibility of navigating out of your hands. Our rail tours come in many different shapes and sizes, from the aerodynamic bullet trains of Japan to the luxurious Rocky Mountaineer which glides effortlessly through the Canadian Rockies. Some of these trips are taken entirely on the railways, whilst others include a small section as part of a larger tour, but all will give you the chance to remove the strain by taking the train.
Have you ever wanted to explore the stunning landscapes of Canada? Mesmerising coastal rainforests, local farmlands, dry deserts and majestic mountain ranges can all be experienced in luxurious style on board the Rocky Mountaineer.
This fabulous rail-based experience will enable you to learn more about the environment of each beautiful region and admire the wild animals that call them their home. Sink back into your comfortable seat, which offers plenty of legroom, and admire the majestic natural beauty of Canada while attentive on board staff serve an array of drinks and delicious cuisine. Executive chefs craft gourmet meals that are superbly paired with exquisite wines.
Spending ten hours every day on board a luxurious train travelling no faster than 30mph will create minimum distraction to the local environment, therefore paving the way for some excellent photo opportunities. Then, at the end of each day, you will be able to spend the evening in a fabulous hotel before waking up refreshed for another dazzling display.
Four different itineraries offer plenty of variety, taking you through wonderful cities such as Vancouver, Whistler, Kamloops, Jasper, Banff and Calgary. Additionally, you can also enjoy a pre or post rail extension into the United States via Seattle or a cruise along the coast of Alaska.
There are two coach grades available on the train, with SilverLeaf Service offering panoramic views from a single-level domed coach and accommodation in three or four-star hotels. GoldLeaf Service will heighten your experience, with a bi-level domed coach. Enjoy fabulous views from upstairs before heading to the downstairs area to enjoy mesmerising Michelin star dining. You will also be able to benefit from excellent photo opportunities with an exclusive outdoor viewing area and relax every night in four and five-star accommodation.
