Rocky Mountaineer Train Trips to the Canadian Rockies
If you're contemplating a Rocky Mountaineer train trip through the
Canadian Rockies,
here are the 9 things to consider before deciding
which trip
is best for you.
1. Rocky Mountaineer's all
daylight
trains depart Vancouver, Jasper National Park, Banff National Park and
Calgary Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday from April 16 to October 13, 2009.
2. Rocky Mountaineer
trains also travel
between Whistler, the site of the 2010 Winter Olympics, and Jasper
National Park
on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday between May 14 and October 10,
2009. Be sure to check with us before making flight reservations as some train dates have been canceled.
3. Trains between
Whistler and Jasper travel less frequently as those between Vancouver and the
Rockies.
4. Most Rocky Mountaineer train
vacations begin with
a hotel stay the night before the train departs and end with a hotel
stay the night
the train arrives. You can, however, book your own hotels and purchase only a two day / one night Rocky Mountaineer train trip.
5. Rocky Mountaineer's
non-escorted
vacations include all transfers, all luggage handling, tour guides and
friendly, dedicated
staff to look after you, your luggage and your connections all along
the way. Escorted vacations include a guide who looks after everything.
6. Rocky Mountaineer train
packages (train, hotels, tours and transfers)
range in length from 4 to 16 days. They include some or all of the following: , 2, 4 or 4.5 days on the train; overnight
stays in Vancouver,
Whistler, Jasper, Lake Louise, Banff and/or Calgary. (En route, you'll
also spend a
night in either Kamloops or Quesnel.)
 7.
You may also include bus tours of Jasper National Park, the
Columbia Icefield
& Athabasca Glacier, Lake Louise, Yoho National Park, Banff National
Park and Banff
townsite. Glacier helicopter tours are available with some tours.
8. If you prefer to travel with more independence, you
may purchase a two day, one night train journey and build your own package around the train trip. We can help with suggestions and make all your independent reservations.
9. You may purchase a two day
"round trip"
ticket that takes you from Vancouver to
Kamloops and then
back to Vancouver, one day out, an overnight stay in Kamloops, and one
day back to Vancouver.
10. Rocky Mountaineer train trips are very flexible and most anything is possible. Give us a call or email us and, working together, we can put together the perfect trip for you.
