TOUR ITINERARY
Rocky Mountaineer Coastal Passage
Including Banff, Jasper, Quesnel, Whistler, Vancouver and Seattle
September 10th – 19th, 2016
Why travel on the Rocky Mountaineer? Because “kodak speed” is the way to go. Rail journeys have a romance that’s hard to beat. Plus you’ll meet lovely people – the camaraderie is intense (at least after the first cocktail). Then there’s the food, the service and the lazy luxury of it all … and the ospreys. Oh, and did I mention pine trees? You’ll definitely see a lot of them. Talk about a front-row seat at a really big show. It would be hard to upstage the spectacle that unfolds as you journey by rail on the Rocky Mountaineer through the wonders of Canada’s West.
Rocky Mountaineer’s newest program, Coastal Passage, features three days on the train, traveling the shorelines of the Pacific Northwest and on to Vancouver. With our special package comes luxurious GoldLeaf Service—top of the line with its upper-level glass-domed coach for panoramic viewing, plus a lower-level dining room where delicious multi-course breakfasts and lunches (wine and beverages included) are ordered from a varied menu. Each day is completely different—mountain vistas one day and rainforests the next, with wildlife sightings as you go. Why not end with an Alaskan cruise?
Come with us on the trip of a lifetime...
