Why is the Rocky Mountaineer famous?

Answer 1

Rocky Mountaineer offers unique Western Canadian vacation packages and four spectacular rail routes through British Columbia and Alberta. Best known for the world-acclaimed Rocky Mountaineer train, an all daylight rail journey, the company also offers trips between the 2010 Winter Olympic host cities of Vancouver and Whistler, BC. Over the past 20 years, the company has grown to become the largest privately owned passenger rail service in North America and has welcomed over one million guests onboard. In November 2009, Rocky Mountaineer was honoured with a prestigious World Travel Award as "World's Leading Travel Experience by Train" for the fourth time and has been recognized by National Geographic as one of the "World's Greatest Trips."

Travelling onboard the Rocky Mountaineer is an unforgettable experience, considered by many to be a trip of a lifetime. The original two-day, all daylight rail journey recaptures the romance of rail travel as it follows the historic train routes constructed over 125 years ago, uniting the country from coast to coast. The entire train ride takes place during daylight hours to ensure guests enjoy every minute of the breathtaking scenery, which includes glacier-fed lakes, majestic mountain ranges and ferocious rivers. On all four RM rail routes, travellers experience exemplary guest service, for which the company is renowned.
