Rocky Mountaineer Package Holiday 2025 / 2026

Remarkable Rocky Mountain Package Holiday Tours

Standing at almost 14,500ft at their peak and nearly 3,000 miles long, the Rocky Mountains provide a unique backdrop for what is the trip of a lifetime. 

Travelling by train through these natural landscapes on the Rocky Mountaineer will leave you without a care in the world. 

The Viva Holidays Team has put together a selection of wonderful Rocky Mountaineer holiday packages. This means you can effortlessly enjoy the best accommodation and service, with everything taken care of for you.

About The Rocky Mountaineer

Having started its life as the Rockies by daylight scenic train in 1990, it was bought from Canada's national rail operator and transformed into the Rocky Mountaineer. In a typical year, around 100,000 passengers appreciate an unrivalled journey that puts a capital 'S' in 'Spectacular'. 

Rocky Mountaineer train tours go beyond first-class. The panoramic views provided by the coaches mean you won't miss a thing as you make your way through this world-renowned mountain range. A warm welcome is assured, and you'll soon settle into your surroundings. There's also an outdoor viewing area if you'd like to get closer to nature and breathe in the beautiful mountain air. 

Being transported through some of Canada's most captivating scenery will enthral, relax and inspire you. The level of service complements this perfectly, with mouth watering local cuisine served at your seat or in the onboard dining room. 

When you're looking for an escape where you can unwind, focus on one moment at a time and reconnect with your loved ones, a Rocky Mountaineer train holiday package with Viva will surpass your expectations.

During daylight hours, you'll be enjoying the best in onboard luxury as you glide through snow-capped mountain ranges, and you'll also have the chance to explore some of the places that make this part of Canada so special. 

Fabulous Destinations

You can choose to start your holiday in one of three great places - Niagara Falls, San Francisco or Vancouver. Each destination has its appeal and will get your Rocky Mountaineer holiday break off to the perfect start. 

Niagara Falls needs little introduction. The word 'breathtaking' is often overused, but not in this case. The power and scale of the Falls will enthral you. It's a great way to get your senses acclimated to the array of sights to come when you head into the Rockies. Whether you take the trip to the bottom of the Falls or aboard the Maid of the Mist, you'll never experience anything like it. 

Niagara Falls is a natural wonder spanning two countries, and around 3,100 tonnes of water flows over every second, which is hard to comprehend until you see it first-hand. 

There are other exhilarating experiences at Clifton Hill too, which is a great family destination. Not to mention the many outstanding restaurants in the area when you're looking to have a more relaxing evening. 

San Francisco is home to the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. In San Fran, you’ll find the world's only remaining manually operated cable car system, sumptuous fresh seafood at PIER 39, and so much more. It will undoubtedly whet your appetite for the next relaxing stage of your Rocky Mountaineer holiday over the border in Canada. 

Alcatraz Island is just a short trip from the mainland and gives you the chance to explore the famous jail where Al Capone was incarcerated. Lombard Street is the iconic street, with tight hairpins that have been the subject of many vivid night-time photographs featuring brightly coloured lights. 

We have two Rocky Mountaineer train holiday trips based out of Vancouver, British Columbia. These are the 'First Passage to the West' and 'Journey through the Clouds' package holidays. The 400-acre Stanley Park is a great place to spend time, and there are busy markets, shopping, museums and a lot more. Grouse Mountain, the Vancouver Lookout and Capilano Suspension Bridge all provide mesmerising views if you've got a head for heights.  

With so much on offer with each Rocky Mountaineer package holiday deal, it's not an easy choice to make, but our team is on hand seven days a week until late to answer any questions you may have.    

Rocky Mountain Towns and Cities

As well as the trio of great starting destinations for your Rocky Mountaineer holiday, there are many other stops along the way - depending on which tour you choose. 

Here's a quick look at these to help you make an informed decision about which deal is perfect for your taste and budget:

Banff National Park

Banff sits within Banff National Park in Alberta. As you'd expect, the scenery here is second to none. After a great day sightseeing onboard the Rocky Mountaineer, it's great to get out and explore this picturesque Canadian town situated high above sea level. From the charming restaurants to an array of wildlife, there's plenty to keep you entertained before you hop on board again to continue your journey.  

Calgary

Calgary is known as Canada's 'Wild West. It's also a vibrant city with a population of over 1 million. The Calgary Tower is a popular tourist destination, standing at almost 200 metres tall and boasting a restaurant with panoramic views.  

Jasper

Jasper is another destination found in a vast national park. Make sure your camera is fully charged when you explore here because it offers many opportunities to capture dramatic landscapes and beautiful wildlife. The Rocky Mountain backdrop frames each shot perfectly, and the Athabasca and Miette Rivers meander by. Jasper is a small town that will leave a big impression on you. 

Hiking, skiing, paddling and much more are on your doorstep when you stop off at Lake Louise. The turquoise-coloured lakes have to be seen to be believed, and the town and surrounding area will capture your heart and never let go.

Kamloops

Kamloops is sure to bring a healthy dose of British Columbian sunshine to your Rocky Mountaineer holiday. So whether you want to play golf, go mountain biking, hiking, fishing or pretty much any other outdoor pursuit, Kamloops will cater for you in style. There's also great shopping and a lively arts and culture scene, so all bases are covered.
