"Not surprisingly, the Rocky Mountaineer has climbed towards the top of the list of Things To Do Before You Die."
"The Rocky Mountains offer some of the most rugged terrain in North America, and although they can be explored by road, taking a train trip is the better way to truly soak in the scenery."
"The Best Train Experience in the World."
"This sleek blue train winds past foaming waterfalls, ancient glaciers, towering snowcapped peaks and roaring mountain streams."
“Arguably some of Canada’s most scenic railways, the four routes conducted by the Rocky Mountaineer offer sweeping views of the Canadian Rockies”
“You could take the train just to stare out at the wild beauty of the Canadian west while tucking into three-course meals- but there’s plenty more on offer in 65 holidays including accommodation and tours.”
