All about Rocky Mountaineer

Everything you need to know about booking a Rocky Mountaineer Canada holiday with Wendy Wu Tours.

What is the Rocky Mountaineer?

The Rocky Mountaineer is an iconic and luxury train service in Western Canada and the Rockies. Riding on this iconic train is a real bucket-list experience – you’ll see and experience parts of Canada’s incredible landscapes only accessible by train.

Take in the stunning panoramic views of the majestic mountain landscapes, glaciers, lakes and forests. Sit back in comfort and enjoy gourmet meals and onboard commentary as look on in awe at the kind of scenery that belongs on a postcard.

Can you hop on and off?

The Rocky Mountaineer doesn't stop in every town it passes through. You'll be able to admire the scenery during your journey from the large panoramic windows, and your host will provide informative commentary along the way. You'll also have free time to explore the towns you spend the night in, and full days of sightseeing on some tours.

Will I have a National Escort with me?

There is no National Escort on our Rocky Mountaineer tours, however, you will be taken care of and guided by the incredible Rocky Mountaineer staff throughout your holiday. The onboard hosts and guides will ensure that your journey is fascinating and informative. Departure times, arrangements and sightseeing opportunities will be communicated throughout your tour, and you are free to ask any questions at any time.

Are meals included?

Your breakfast and lunch are included whilst aboard the Rocky Mountaineer. Once you disembark in the evening and on sightseeing days, you'll have the freedom to sample the local fare. There will be a variety of cafes and restaurants to choose from throughout your journey, from traditional Canadian family-owned establishments in the smaller mountain towns to renowned, high-end eateries in busier cities.

When does the Rocky Mountaineer run?

The Rocky Mountaineer is in operation between April and October with twice-weekly departures.

In late spring, you may still be able to see snow capping the mighty mountains. The temperatures will be cooler with fewer crowds.
Summer provides longer days and increased chances of spotting wildlife - or enjoying sunsets from whichever beautiful mountain town is your place of rest for the evening. This is the busiest time of year in the Rockies.
Early autumn sees the leaves beginning to turn with vibrant fall foliage visible across the landscape - a spectacular sight.
