Roll through a winter wonderland
This December, Rocky Mountaineer Vacations invites guests to discover “The Land of a Million Christmas Trees”Ò on an unforgettable winter rail journey. Snow-covered landscapes, icy lakes and glacier-capped mountain peaks are all waiting to be seen from the comfort of the acclaimed Rocky Mountaineer train, a two-day rail journey between Western Canada and the Canadian Rockies.
Perfect for the whole family, this trip of a lifetime will get guests into the Christmas spirit from the moment they check in at the festively decorated Rocky Mountaineer Station in Vancouver. Once onboard the train, travellers will be pampered by Rocky Mountaineer’s Onboard Attendants, whilst enjoying hot cocoa, seasonal entertainment, delicious regional cuisine and front seat views of the sparkling winter scenery from Vancouver, British Columbia through the snow-covered Canadian Rockies to Banff, Alberta.
For children, the winter rail journey brings with it the magic of Christmas. Kids can ride aboard the dedicated specialty coach featuring a children’s entertainer who leads the group in song, decoration making, and games during the train trip. And of course, as any child would attest, Christmas would not be complete without a visit from Santa. Jolly ol’ St. Nick joins in on the fun to deliver gifts for all when the train meets his broken down sleigh mid-route. For adults, there is the opportunity to join in the festivities in the newly renovated specialty coach featuring dancing, live jazz music and a bar, which serves a range of drinks including mulled wine and spiced eggnog.
The ultimate way to travel is in GoldLeaf Service where guests in the two-storey glass dome coaches dine on freshly prepared à la carte Western Canadian regional cuisine as well as seasonal dishes, including turkey with all the trimmings. There is also a children’s menu, featuring such dishes as Grizzly Bear’s Homestyle Pancakes, Choo! Choo! Chicken and Spiral Tunnels Pasta.
