CANADIAN Rocky Mountaineer recently launched its 2012 virtual brochure featuring two new additions to its award-winning Western Canadian rail itineraries.
In the upcoming season, the Rocky Mountaineer will debut the coastal passage route, a scenic journey connecting Seattle, US, to Vancouver, Canada, and also offer its new SilverLeaf Service on increased departures on the company’s flagship route, the First Passage to the West.
“We’re excited to present a dynamic and interactive brochure that appeals to our guests on multiple levels,” says Hubert Wat, vice president, global marketing of Rocky Mountaineer. “Not only does it highlight everything our guests will experience while travelling with us, but showcases our new services, a beautiful new route along the west coast and vacation packages that give our guests even more options to choose from when travelling with Rocky Mountaineer.”
The new coastal passage route will connect major cities Seattle and Vancouver en route to the Canadian Rockies. The new route marks Rocky Mountaineer’s fifth rail journey and its first from the US. Guests will traverse the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest from the comfort of Rocky Mountaineer’s luxurious GoldLeaf Service, a bi-level dome coach which offers panoramic views and a private dining car. After an overnight stay in Vancouver guests will continue on to their final destination of either Banff or Jasper, Canada.
In 2012, SilverLeaf Service will be available on all First Passage to the West itineraries between Vancouver and Banff/Calgary. Guests will have the option to upgrade from RedLeaf Service and experience a journey through Canada’s west in a single-level dome coach which offers a 167 per cent larger viewing area than RedLeaf Service. Combined with entertaining onboard commentary and hot meal service at their seats, SilverLeaf offers guests affordable luxury.
Rocky Mountaineer offers 45 unique Canadian vacation packages and four distinctive rail routes, rich in history and natural wonders, through British Columbia and Alberta. This world renowned, luxurious train travels by daylight through the wild beauty of Canada’s West and is the best way to experience the majestic Canadian Rockies, a Unesco World Heritage site. Over the past 20 years, Rocky Mountaineer has grown to become the largest privately owned passenger rail service in North America and has welcomed more than one million guests onboard from around the world.
In 2010, Rocky Mountaineer received its fifth World Travel Award as World’s Leading Travel Experience by Train and was acknowledged for the first time in the category of World’s Leading Luxury Travel Product of the Year.
