If you love the idea of travelling through the landscape of North America then a vacation with Rocky Mountaineer might be the perfect choice.
There are many train journeys in the USA, but Rocky Mountaineer has perfected the experience. With luxurious hotel travel along the way and spectacular views along the way, Rocky Mountaineer ticks all the boxes.
Rocky Mountaineer also offers shorter packages if you would prefer just a few days of spectacular landscapes.
With the Gold Leaf accommodations you travel in a bi-level glass-dome coach. The upper level has your spacious seat from which you enjoy the majority of the experience and the lower level is the dining area where you enjoy your meals.
Each carriage also has a spacious outdoor viewing platform to stretch your legs, get some fresh air and get a more immersive view of your location.
Elegantly plated meals are prepared with local ingredients and served in the comfort of your dedicated dining room – while dining you will continue to experience sprawling views of the Rocky Mountains right outside your window.
Silver Leaf Service is on most of the same routes as Gold Leaf, but at a lower price tag. The carriages are only single floor, so you dine in your seat rather than going to a dining area.
Also, the staff ratios are slightly less and the outdoor viewing areas are smaller.
Other than that, the experience with regard to the trip and the amaing landscapes is exactly the same.
