Two Days of Luxury Travel on the Rocky Mountaineer Train
This month we bring you breathtaking vistas, gourmet food, and luxury travel on the Rocky Mountaineer's First Passage to the West rail excursion. Going from Vancouver, BC to Lake Louise and Banff in Alberta, the Rocky Mountaineer takes passengers through the the Fraser Valley and into the heart of the Canadian Rockies on the journey of a lifetime.
Rail travel used to be an experience. People took the train to get places, but the journey itself was part of the thrill. The Rocky Mountaineer recaptures that with their luxury rail excursions through Western Canada and the American Southwest. Disconnected from WiFi, passengers can sit back, relax, enjoy the scenery passing by and decouple from the normal distractions of today. All the while enjoying five-star service and attention to detail.
In this episode you experience their most popular trip, First Passage to the West, soaking in the mountains while seeing the amazing meals and service the Rocky Mountaineer is famous for. Since 1990, the Rocky Mountaineer has hosted over 2.3 million guests giving people a unique experience they will never forget.
Join us on this journey to the top of the Canadian Rockies with Paul and Transit Unplugged.
