Not sure which Rocky Mountaineer route is right for you?
This is the only section using maps. The best route depends on what matters most to you: Lake Louise, Banff, Jasper, Vancouver, Whistler, an Alaska cruise, a self-drive adventure, or simply the most spectacular first-time Canada experience.
Passage to the Peaks
Jasper – Kamloops – Banff. A Rockies-focused route for travellers who want dramatic mountain towns and scenery at the heart of the trip.
First Passage to the West
Vancouver – Kamloops – Lake Louise – Banff. A classic choice if you want Vancouver, Lake Louise and Banff in one iconic rail journey.
Journey Through the Clouds
Vancouver – Kamloops – Jasper. A beautiful option if Jasper is important and you want a route that connects naturally into the wider Rockies.
Rainforest to Gold Rush
Vancouver – Whistler – Quesnel – Jasper. A longer, varied rail route with coastal city, mountain resort, gold rush history and Jasper scenery.
Choose the onboard experience that feels right.
Both give you spectacular scenery, onboard hosts, storytelling, meals, drinks and snacks. The real question is how special you want the train experience to feel — and whether the GoldLeaf upgrade is the right use of your budget.
Ask us to compare both
SilverLeaf Experience
Comfortable, scenic and still very special — ideal if you want the Rocky Mountaineer experience without the full GoldLeaf upgrade.
- Single-level glass-dome coach
- Full glass-dome windows
- Outdoor viewing area
- Breakfast and lunch served at your seat
- Complimentary beverages and snacks
GoldLeaf Experience
The more luxurious option — a stronger sense of occasion, elevated views and a separate dining experience.
- Bi-level glass-dome coach
- Oversized glass-dome windows
- Large exclusive outdoor viewing platform
- Gourmet dining in a lower-level dining room
- Complimentary beverages and snacks
Extend your Rocky Mountaineer journey by rail, road, city or sea
The train is often the centrepiece — but the best holidays usually include extra days before or after the rail journey.
Add car hire
Explore Banff, Lake Louise, Jasper and the Icefields Parkway with time for viewpoints, lakes, waterfalls and slower travel days.
Add an Alaska cruise
Sail from Vancouver through the Inside Passage, with glacier scenery, coastal towns, wildlife and a relaxed finish after the rail journey.
Add Vancouver, Calgary or more Canada
Make space for city stays, flights, tours, restaurants, parks and relaxed travel days before or after the rail journey.
Pop in, tell us the dream, and we’ll help make sense of it.
