This world-renowned luxury train journey is more than just a means of travel - it’s an experience that will leave you spellbound, with spectacular scenery, impeccable service, and gourmet dining all included!

Glass-Dome Carriage: A Panoramic Wonderland
One of the standout features of GoldLeaf Service is the bi-level, glass-domed carriage. Unlike standard train windows, the full-length dome provides uninterrupted, 360-degree views of snow-capped peaks, winding rivers, and lush alpine meadows. Whether you’re marvelling at Mount Robson, spotting wildlife in Jasper National Park, or crossing dramatic canyons, every moment is a feast for the eyes. The elevated position of the seating area in GoldLeaf Service ensures you have a superior vantage point, making every vista even more impressive.

Exclusive Outdoor Viewing Platform
Fancy some fresh mountain air? The GoldLeaf carriage comes with an exclusive outdoor viewing platform, allowing you to step outside and immerse yourself in the crisp, alpine breeze. This is a prime spot for snapping photos or simply soaking in the grandeur of the landscape. Imagine standing on the platform as the train winds through the famous Spiral Tunnels, feeling the cool mountain air rush past as you watch the engineering marvel unfold before you.
Gourmet Dining in the Lower-Level Restaurant
Forget standard train fare - GoldLeaf Service offers a gourmet dining experience worthy of a five-star restaurant. Served in an elegant lower-level dining room, your meals are freshly prepared by top chefs using locally sourced Canadian ingredients. Think buttery Pacific salmon, succulent Alberta beef, and decadent desserts, all paired with fine wines. Breakfast and lunch are both served à la carte, ensuring a culinary journey as impressive as the scenery outside your window.
First-Class Service and Comfort
From the moment you board, you’ll be treated to world-class hospitality. Your dedicated team of hosts and onboard concierges will cater to your every need, offering fascinating commentary on the passing landscapes, wildlife, and history. Meanwhile, your plush, reclining seat ensures you travel in absolute comfort. Whether you want to sip on a complimentary glass of wine, indulge in an afternoon tea, or simply sit back and soak in the views, the GoldLeaf Service team will make sure you have everything you need for a journey of pure relaxation.

Overnight Luxury in Hand-Picked Hotels
Unlike other long-distance train journeys, the Rocky Mountaineer operates exclusively during daylight hours, so you never miss a moment of the stunning scenery. Each night, you’ll disembark and stay in a hand-selected luxury hotel, ensuring a restful night before the next day’s adventure. Accommodations are chosen to complement the journey, with premium locations in cities such as Banff, Lake Louise, Kamloops, and Vancouver. After a day of awe-inspiring views, you can unwind in plush surroundings, ready for the next leg of your rail odyssey.
Explore the Heart of Canada
While the train itself offers an unforgettable experience, the journey is about more than just luxury - it’s a deep dive into the natural beauty and heritage of Western Canada. You’ll traverse iconic landmarks such as the Fraser Canyon, the Continental Divide, and the jaw-dropping beauty of Banff and Jasper National Parks. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife, as it’s not uncommon to spot bears, elk, eagles, and mountain goats from the comfort of your seat.
A Journey Like No Other
The Rocky Mountaineer’s GoldLeaf Service is not just a train ride—it’s an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience.
