Your questions answered.

Find out what is included in your trip and have all your questions answered. We are here to help.

What’s Included

Frequently asked questions, can i customize this trip.

Your trip can be as rich as you’d like, and completely arranged around your interests and needs. The greatest benefit of working with us is our local knowledge. You can customize your trip and decide what you’d like to see and do.

If your trip is a special occasion, we’ll make sure it is unforgettable. Or if you’re traveling with a group, we’ll take care of the logistics so you can share time together stress-free.

Can I modify the trip's length by spending more or less time at certain locations?

Absolutely! We personalize all our clients’ trips to fit their exact tastes and needs. You can add days at locations that you’d like to explore and spend more time at. Or leave out certain areas that don’t interest you as much. Discuss your travel goals with our Vacation Advisors who make sure that your trip fits your needs and budget.

Where do I stay on my trip?

We partner with many hotels across the country that offer a variety of service levels and unique experiences. Choosing a hotel is based on local availability and personal preference, and our Insiders will help you find the perfect place to rest your head so that you can have the best experience possible.

On some trips, I see hotels referred to as Comfort, Superior, and Deluxe. What is that?

On some of our trips, you’ll see that we categorize our hotel rooms by Comfort, Superior and Deluxe class, which generally translates into the traditional 3-, 4- or 5-star designation (equivalent to Best Western, Sheraton and Fairmont). However, sometimes we use the same hotel for more than one category and distinguish the room by size, floor level or view.

Our Comfort Level hotels include our favorite 3 star hotels, in great locations and with excellent service.

Our Superior Level hotels provide amazing value for clients wanting something more upscale but not at the price of a top-end 5 star resort. Superior level hotels are some of our favorites because of the character and unique charm that you won't find at the average chain hotel.

In Deluxe Level hotels, it's likely you'll be staying at one of the iconic Canadian Fairmont Hotels in a room with a view. Built for the Canadian Pacific Railway in the early 20th century, these hotels are luxurious and full of history – ensuring an experience you'll never forget.

How much does my trip cost?

All our trips are personalized to fit our clients’ schedule and budget. The price of your trip generally depends on the travel season, train service, accommodations, and the sightseeing tours you take. When you request a quote you’ll be provided with the detailed information you need

What is the Rocky Mountaineer experience like?

Rocky Mountaineer operates daylight touring trains, which travel along three of the most spectacular routes in Western Canada. You’ll enjoy onboard commentary, award winning service, and incredible food.

What are the differences between SilverLeaf and GoldLeaf service on the Rocky Mountaineer train?

There are a few differences between SilverLeaf and GoldLeaf service.

In SilverLeaf, you travel in a single-level dome car with oversized windows and are served meals at your seat. In GoldLeaf, you travel in a bi-level dome car, which features comfortable seating on the upper level and a dining area on the lower level. GoldLeaf coaches are taller, so you can see above the treeline.

GoldLeaf also includes access to an exclusive outdoor viewing platform. In SilverLeaf, there is a small viewing area between train cars.

What is the small ship cruise experience like?

Small ship cruises are much more flexible than a typical large ship cruise - your onboard team will decide on the best adventures of the day based on weather, wildlife sightings, and the interests of the group. The agile vessels are able to access secluded inlets, bays, and channels where your chances of seeing wildlife are so much better.

What are the accommodations like on a small ship cruise?

Accommodations range from comfortable private cabins with ensuite bathrooms and picture windows, to full suites. These well appointed ships feature delicious cuisine, common lounges for mingling and evening presentations, as well as kayak launch docks for the days of adventure ahead.

What clothing should I pack for the Essential Rockies with Alaska Cruise trip?

We recommend bringing a range of layers for this trip. Summers are mild in Southeast Alaska (average temperatures: 55-56 degrees F / 12-18 degrees C) and slightly warmer in the Canadian Rockies (average temperatures: 68-77 degrees F / 20-25 degrees C). It can be cooler close to the water or up in the mountains, so a fleece pullover and rain jacket are must-haves. Packing a pair of waterproof boots and some comfortable walking shoes is highly recommended.

What meals are included on Rocky Mountaineer and the cruise, and can dietary restrictions be accommodated?

When travelling on Rocky Mountaineer, you enjoy breakfast and lunch onboard the train. The seasonal menu varies by rail route and day. The cuisine is inspired by the areas the train passes through. Complimentary snacks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages are served each day.

All meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) and snacks are included on your small ship cruise. The onboard chefs create fresh, sustainable meals from locally sourced ingredients.

Dietary requirements, food allergies and other preferences can be accommodated with advance notice. Please let your Vacation Advisor know of any dietary needs at the time of booking.

With one of the combined “First Passage to the West” and Alaska cruise packages, you’ll discover the highlights of both the incredible Canadian Rockies and Alaska’s beautiful coast.

Rail journeys to remember

The most scenic rail routes

Named by National Geographic as one of the “World’s Greatest Trips”, Rocky Mountaineer offers guests the chance to combine ocean and rail routes to create their dream journey.

With three unique rail routes - the historic “First Passage to the West”, “Journey through the Clouds” and “Rainforest to Gold Rush” - to choose from, as well as dozens of cruises departing and arriving from  Vancouver , guests can design a trip that ticks their must-see, bucket-list destinations.

DISCOVER THE ‘FIRST PASSAGE TO THE WEST’

Of Rocky Mountaineer’s three routes, none is more popular or legendary than the “First Passage to the West” railway line. Uniting Canada’s East and West, the famous route takes guests through the magnificent Canadian Rockies, the iconic Spiral Tunnels and the historic Craigellachie – where the final spike on the Canadian Pacific Railway was placed.

You Can Now Combine a Trip on the Rocky Mountaineer Train With an Alaskan Cruise

By Jessica Puckett

This summer, travelers heading to Canada and Alaska will be able to combine two iconic ways of experiencing the region—an expedition cruise and a train journey—into one unforgettable itinerary.

For the inaugural season of its new expedition ship , Ocean Victory , American Queen Voyages is teaming up with luxury train company Rocky Mountaineer for travel packages that include trips aboard the glass-domed train cars before or after the cruise line’s Alaskan voyages. The rail add-on is available on six of American Queen’s Vancouver-to-Sitka sailings, beginning May 2 and running through September 10.

As part of the combined itinerary, dubbed the “Landscapes & Luxury Rocky Mountaineer City Stay Package,” travelers can book a six-day pre-cruise or a five-day post-cruise journey that will wind its way through the Canadian Rockies between Calgary and Vancouver . The travel package add-ons include two days aboard the Rocky Mountaineer train with top-tier GoldLeaf service, which includes perks like an outdoor viewing platform, signature cocktails, and onboard guides to point out scenery and wildlife.

“Rocky Mountaineer journeys are the perfect complement to an Alaska cruise, offering guests views of breathtaking scenery while enjoying delicious cuisine, friendly service, interesting storytelling and the social atmosphere from our luxury glass-dome trains,” Jonathan Hope, the train’s managing director of sales, said in a statement.

Also included are two hotel nights in Banff, Kamloops, and two nights in Vancouver —including tours around the city—and a National Parks pass. Logistics such as luggage handling, as well as airport and hotel transfers, are also covered.

As for the cruise portion of the itinerary, travelers can choose from 12- or 13-day voyages through Alaska's Inside Passage. Among some of the sailing's highlights are Fiordland, Misty Fjords National Monument, Frederick Sound, as well as the Endicott and Le Conte glaciers. According to the cruise line, Ocean Victory is small enough to access ports of call that larger ships cannot, like Baranof Island’s eastern coast.

The brand new ship holds just 186 guests and features amenities like sliding observation platforms for viewing wildlife, as well as kayaks and Zodiac boats that can be deployed with expedition guides. Consider the train add-on, which costs $3,799 per person, your ticket to getting up close to the majestic Alaskan and Canadian wilderness in an unprecedented way.

“We had the holiday of a lifetime in Canada.

Thanks so much for your meticulous planning and perfect tour of this amazing part of Canada – it was even better than I hoped! Knight Inlet was absolutely stunning and we were so lucky to see grizzly bears, a black bear close up, bald eagles, ospreys, deer and lots of amazing wildlife. The drive from Jasper to Banff with the green lakes and snow covered mountains was drop jaw beautiful! The whole trip was incredible and will remain a lifelong cherished memory for all the family.”

We wanted to thank you for arranging such a wonderful holiday.  Everything was organised perfectly, the package which awaited us at our first hotel was very comprehensive and extremely informative.

We returned from our Canadian Holiday a few days ago and had a wonderful time.  We wanted to say thank you for all the arrangements, bookings and planned trips etc. which all fell into place at the right time without any problems or worries.

Rocky Mountaineer And Cruise

Combining an Alaska cruise with a luxurious journey aboard the famous Rocky Mountaineer is a great way to experience two of the world’s most scenic regions in one trip.

We offer Rocky Mountaineer and Alaska cruise holidays with a collection of the world’s most famous cruise lines, including Cunard , Holland America and Regent Seven Seas Cruises. Simply take your pick of Alaska cruise itineraries and enjoy a journey through the dramatic Canadian Rockies either before, or after, your voyage.

About Rocky Mountaineer

Voted by the readers of National Geographic as one of the ‘World’s Greatest Trips’, the Rocky Mountaineer is a journey unlike any other. Travel in daylight through one of the world’s most majestic landscapes; over plunging gorges, expansive waterways and snow-capped mountain passes aboard a luxurious custom-built train offering 5-star service and gourmet cuisine.

Upon arrival in each town on your trip, you’ll be free to enjoy the local sights at your leisure as well as enjoy specially planned tours and sightseeing excursions, such as helicopter tours and guided tours through the Canadian wilderness.

In the evening, you will retire to a luxury hotel to prepare for the following days’ adventures. You won’t even need to worry about your luggage – it will be waiting for you in your room when you arrive.

Rocky Mountaineer Routes & Itineraries

There are Rocky Mountaineer journeys available to fit in with almost any cruise schedule, and they can be added either before or after your voyage. There are three primary routes, all of which can be experienced in full, or as part of a shortened itinerary.

First Passage to the West

We recommend this iconic Rocky Mountaineer journey if you have never visited the Canadian Rockies before. Travelling between Vancouver and Banff, you will wind through dramatic mountain passes, over gaping canyons and through the legendary spiral tunnels.

Journey Through the Clouds

This spectacular itinerary allows you to experience all the highlights of the Canadian Rockies in a relatively short space of time. Travelling from Vancouver to Jasper (or in reverse), the route includes Pyramid Falls, Hell’s Gate and also passes by the highest peak in the Rockies, Mount Robson.

Rainforest to Goldrush

Board Rocky Mountain on a trip from Vancouver to Jasper (or in reverse), stopping at Quesnel and the breathtaking mountain town of Whistler. Remnants of the Gold Rush era still loom large in these parts, while the sights witnessed as the train cuts through the rugged terrain are guaranteed to thrill.

Rocky Mountaineer Service

There are two types of service available onboard Rocky Mountaineer – Silver Leaf Service and Gold Leaf Service. The service level you choose will define your dining options and the size of your outdoor viewing area. It will also have a bearing on the hotels you stay in throughout your journey.

The main differences between the two service levels are as follows:

Silver Leaf Service

• Allocated seating on a single-level
• Breakfast and lunch served at your seat
• Two service hosts and one member of the culinary team
• A small outdoor viewing platform

Gold Leaf Service

• Allocated seating on one level, dining on the level below
• Gourmet à la carte meals served in the dining room
• 3-4 service hosts and a full culinary team
• A large outdoor viewing platform

Regardless of the service level you choose, all guests enjoy complimentary alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, snacks and enjoy talks from engaging hosts about historic sites and wildlife.
