If you wish to rebook, please contact our sales centre or your travel professional. 

If you are not booked on a suspended departure, we understand you may still want to change your travel plans. To provide you with greater flexibility all the monies you have paid to date can be moved forward to a booking in 2021 with no change fees.

We will continue to evaluate the global travel restrictions and government-mandated health measures and mandates that could have an impact on further departures. While we don’t have a projected date on if and when departures will be suspended, we will continue to keep you updated as soon as we have new information. 

 

How do I know what dates the price guarantee will apply to in 2021 and how do I redeem?

The present COVID-19 pandemic is an extraordinary event, unprecedented in our lifetimes. The pandemic has temporarily rendered impossible activities that, only recently, we all took for granted. These include the ability for persons to travel across borders, or assemble in large numbers. While we at Rocky Mountaineer would like nothing better than to be providing the world-class railtours we had scheduled for April to July, 2020, this is not presently possible given the pandemic. The health and safety of our guests and team members are, and always will be, our top priorities. 

With great regret, we  need to postpone the start of our 2020 travel season to July 31, 2020.  We have concluded this is necessary, as outlined in this announcement.

The COVID-19 pandemic, and the governmental restrictions imposed in response, are a force majeure event, beyond the control of Rocky Mountaineer. Force majeure events are addressed in sections 11 and 12 of the Terms and Conditions. In keeping with those provisions, we are allowing guests to rebook their travel to a later date, once the force majeure event has passed.

To those guests who have booked one of our world-class rail tours, Rocky Mountaineer remains committed to providing you with this experience, when it is possible and appropriate to so do.  If you have a departure date before July 31, please contact our team, once you have determined your travel plans and are ready to rebook. Guests affected by the suspended departures will receive a travel credit in the amount equivalent to 110% of monies paid*, which can be used for travel until the end of the 2022 season. The credit must be redeemed by November 30, 2021, is not transferable, may not be redeemed for cash or other credit, and has no cash value. 

Rocky Mountaineer is also holding its 2021 rail prices at the 2020 level, so guests will not experience any inflationary price increase for the rail portion of their itinerary. For guests rebooking a similar package in 2021, within 14 days on either side of the original departure date anniversary**, Rocky Mountaineer will guarantee they will not pay more for the new package, including third-party hotels, tours and attractions, due to the later travel date. 

These are difficult times for all of us, but we hope guests can take comfort in knowing that, when this crisis passes, the trip of a lifetime awaits them.

We ask guests to call us at one of our phone numbers listed here if you have any questions or concerns. 

*calculated on the pre-tax value.

**for example, a rebooked departure date between May 1 and May 29, 2021 for an original departure date of May 15, 2020.
