The Canadian Rockies, Framed by Glass
Rocky Mountaineer is designed around one simple pleasure: seeing Western Canada in daylight. Panoramic windows, storytelling hosts, included meals and drinks, and hotel nights off the train turn the Canadian Rockies into the heart of the journey.
The named products beneath Rocky Mountaineer are routes, not separate trains. Evyssa keeps direction, service level, hotel tier, season, and package extensions as itinerary attributes so travelers can compare the experiences without duplicating pages.
ROCKY MOUNTAINEER

Who will feel at home here
