Daily Itinerary

Day 1 - Vancouver Arrival

Start your trip by arriving in Vancouver — Canada’s third-largest city. Due to its cultural diversity and bustling arts scene, this west coast gem is home to a number of unique attractions. Explore the city at your own pace.

After a day of exploring popular destinations like Stanley Park, Granville Island, and Gastown, you’ll soon realize why Vancouver is often called one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

Day 2 - Rocky Mountaineer Train from Vancouver to Kamloops

Climb aboard the Rocky Mountaineer and raise your glass as the train heads northeast out of Vancouver. Your journey to the Canadian Rockies has officially begun! Travel alongside the turbulent waters of the salmon-rich Fraser River and pass the powerful rapids of Hell’s Gate.

Towards the end of today, you’ll approach the drier grasslands of Kamloops, where you will be spending the night.

Day 3 - Rocky Mountaineer Train from Kamloops to Banff

As you travel east towards the province of Alberta, you are greeted by the Canadian Rockies. Rocky lakeshores, snow-capped mountain peaks, and crisp glacial streams accompany you as you dine on locally-sourced, gourmet meals.

Learn about points of interest such as the astoundingly high Kicking Horse Canyon and the Spiral Tunnels. End off today in the friendly mountain resort town of Banff.

Day 4 - Banff to Calgary Transfer

Your journey continues with a two-hour transfer to Calgary. This trip may have been short, but the memories will last forever. Another bucket list item has been added to your list of world travels. Thank you for traveling with Canada Rail Vacations!
