Departing from our North Vancouver station, you’ll wind your way along Horseshoe Bay and the scenic fjords of Howe Sound.
Start the day with a toast to the beginning of your journey before being served a delicious breakfast that warms you to the core.
As you pass Squamish, you’ll leave the ocean behind and find yourself amid the majestic Coast Mountains, Whistler-bound. Be on the lookout for The Chief, one of the Vancouver area’s most famous local landmarks.
You’ll pull into the Whistler station, leaving you plenty of time to unwind in this world-famous mountain resort. Walk through the village and explore its many shops and restaurants, or take a ride on the Peak-2-Peak Gondola for a view unlike anything you’ve seen before.
Continuing north from Whistler, you’ll follow the Fraser River Valley through some of the most contrasting landscapes in Western Canada, where rushing rivers meet arid expanses.
Throughout the morning, you’ll be treated to breakfast and coffee as you awaken your senses to your newfound surroundings.
This historic rail route takes you through the gold-flecked canyons that once drew wagons full of gold prospectors – and which have been home to the Indigenous people of the region for millennia.
Sit down to a three-course lunch prepared by our onboard chefs as your Hosts entertain you with stories about the region.
As the, train ascends, so will your sense of wonder. Before you know it, you’ll be surrounded by mountains that stretch up to the sky, enjoying the view with a glass of wine in hand.
Surrounded by rustic charm, you’ll receive a warm welcome as you pull into Quesnel. While you’re there, take a step into the past by crossing the historic Fraser River Footbridge.
Departing Quesnel, you’ll continue your Jasper-bound journey as you traverse through the wilds of Northern BC.
Your journey into the Rockies will take you past serene lakes, rushing waterfalls, and through increasingly mountainous terrain.
Relax with a hot cup of coffee and enjoy a leisurely breakfast as you watch the calming scenery roll by.
Enjoy a gourmet lunch inspired by the diverse flavours and local ingredients of Western Canada as you look forward to your Jasper arrival. Hear about the incredible history of the railway and the landmarks along the way.
As you make your way east towards Jasper, your Hosts will point out the most prominent peaks – including Mount Robson, the highest in the Canadian Rockies.
All great journeys must come to an end. No matter which way you're headed, you'll want to explore everything Jasper has to offer.
All of our packages go in both directions: you can start in the Rockies and go to Vancouver, or start in Vancouver.
