5 Nights / 6 Days

Overview

This compact rail circle package begins and ends in Vancouver. You’ll travel two distinct routes on two unique trains and spend one night on the train, one night in Jasper one night in Banff and one night in Vancouver. You’ll begin your adventure with a night on the train, from Vancouver to Jasper, in a private bedroom.

Begin with and evening departure and a night on the train in a private bedroom. The following morning you awake to magnificent scenery and a hot breakfast in the dining car.

You’ll have the day to enjoy the scenery and explore the train’s varied environments, from your private room to the lounge, club car and observation car before you arrive in Jasper at 4:00 in the afternoon. Lunch is included in the dining car.

You’ll spend the night in Jasper National Park, the largest park in the Canadian Rockies and have time for wildlife viewing to and from Miette Hot Springs for a soak in its hot, healing springs.

After your night in Jasper, you’ll travel by motor coach to Banff. Along the way, you’ll stop at Athabasca Falls, Columbia Icefield, Crowfoot Glacier, and Peyto Lake. At Columbia Icefield, ride the Ice Explorer onto the Athabasca Glacier. You’ll reach Banff in the early evening and check into your Banff hotel.

After a night in Banff, you will be picked up from your hotel and transferred to the Banff train station where you’ll board the Rocky Mountaineer for your two day train journey to Vancouver. You’ll have a night in Kamloops en route and a night in Vancouver to round out this most memorable vacation.
