When you tell your friends that you are going on the Rocky Mountaineer the response is unvarying: it is simply on everyone’s wish list! We gathered at our hotel reception in downtown Vancouver for an early departure to the train station, just a short distance away, and the excitement was palpable. The Rocky Mountaineer guide was waiting for us with our luggage labels and reminded us that we should keep everything we needed for the train with us, as we would next see our luggage at our hotel in Kamloops, the first stop on our trip. On arrival at the terminal, exclusive to Rocky Mountaineer, there was an abundance of staff to help, check-in and guide you to your carriage. The train is an impressive sight, and the double-deck GoldLeaf Service carriages have glass domed ceilings on the upper level for an outstanding view. We had four Rocky Mountaineer Hosts exclusive to our carriage to ensure that we received the best possible level of service. These friendly and knowledgeable Hosts provide commentary “When you tell friends that you are going on the Rocky Mountaineer the response is unvarying: it is simply on everyone’s wish list!” on the journey, continuous drink service, and generally cater to your every need. We were “piped” away from the station by pipers in full highland dress, with Rocky Mountaineer staff waving us off. Breakfast and lunch are served on the lower level, where you find a choice of freshly cooked, delicious hot dishes, making GoldLeaf Service even more memorable. Once you leave Vancouver behind, the wonderful vista of the Canadian Rocky Mountains opens up as one breathtaking view after another unfolds. The photo opportunities are endless, and the GoldLeaf Service carriages have a roomy outside vestibule on the lower level where you can take the best shots, and breathe the fresh mountain air. There is much excitement when an animal is spotted, and the cry of “bear on the left side” or “eagle overhead” gets everyone on their feet. There is a wonderful feeling of joint pleasure when this happens. The length of the train affords a wonderful opportunity to look out of the window on a bend and see the carriages at the other end – quite a sight. Also, be amazed at the length of the freight trains that pass from time to time which can be two miles long! When we reached Kamloops, our luggage was waiting in our hotel rooms just as anticipated. The following morning, we departed for Jasper leaving our cases behind in the utmost confidence that we would see them again in Banff! The sheer beauty of the mountains, rivers and scenery is a given, and spotting wildlife is always a bonus, but the exemplary Rocky Mountaineer service and organisation is simply the icing on the cake.
