Rocky Mountaineer Train (48hrs on Canada's MOST LUXURIOUS train)

The Rocky Mountaineer is Canada's most luxurious train!
On this trip from from Vancouver to Banff we will show you the spectacular Rocky Mountaineer Goldleaf Service as well as compare it to Rocky Mountaineer Silverleaf, you will see our genuine (way to excited) reactions to the luxury train and get a full tour of the ammenities onboard!
As we spend 2 days riding in Luxury across Canada taking the Rocky Mountaineer on their first 'First passage to the west' departure of 2023!
This train experience is nothing like those we've done before and we truly appreciate everyone who made it possible (You know who you are!), we hope you enjoy watching this video as much as we enjoyed making it!
If you enjoyed this Rocky Mountaineer 2023 video please give it a thumbs up to help us grow!

to say the Rocky Mountaineer was a total dream come true is such an understatement! This is one of those huge 'pinch me' moments for us - and we are BEYOND grateful that we were able to experience this world class train on its first trip of the 2023 season!! I think we are officially obsessed with Train Travel now so we want a list - what's the BEST train you've ever been on?!🚂

[@Christinebythesea]

Switzerland and Scotland are so beautiful by train - hope to see your fantastic photography on those journeys in future! Great to see you on this trip and amazing partnership to have been offered! Your excitement on this one is very contagious! 😊

[@JordanandEmily]

@@Christinebythesea thank you so much! Gosh we would LOVE to do trains through Switzerland one day Also just googled the Scotland train and WOW - how had we never heard of them before?! Have you done any of those train journeys?

[@Christinebythesea]

@@JordanandEmily lots of trains in Switzerland but still to be able to do the really stunning ones! Even just regular intercity trains in Switzerland go through some stunning areas 😊I’ve driven past some of the beautiful lines in Scotland but waiting to do the route the more enjoyable way soon! Hope to see your trip videos from either place - hope you’ve seen the Caledonian Sleeper to Fort William - a great start to Scotland 😊

We did this journey 5 years ago from Vancouver to Jasper. Your video brought back all the lovely memories 😍 We extended our trip - 2 nights in Jasper, hired a car and drove the Icefields Parkway, 2 nights Lake Louise, 2 nights Banff, then 2 nights Calgary before coming home to Australia. One of our best travel experiences ever. Glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@JordanandEmily]

[@JordanandEmily]

10 hours time!!!?? You must be on the train now! When you reach the hotel in Kamloops let us know how the first leg of the trip was! 😄

[@lizfranklin-kitchen3013]

@@JordanandEmily helloooo!!! So, we had overall a GREAT time on the Rocky Mountaineer - we’re back in the UK now, after what has been the trip of a lifetime! The train is the most gloriously luxurious way to travel into the Rockies, we could not fault it one bit! There were only three things that marred our whole experience, none of which are the fault of the RM or its fantastic staff. In no particular order: 1) my brand new DSLR camera irrevocably packed up about one hour before reaching Kamloops 😭😭 I’d bought it only two days before, specifically for this trip, having weighed up the pros and cons of only having an iPhone with me. 2) We had a group of super noisy fellow passengers in our carriage, who did not stop talking/yelling literally the entire journey. We were in the same dining schedule as them too, which made the dining carriage almost unbearably loud. Being a non-stop train, we didn’t have the option to move to a different carriage, though I guess we could have asked once we were at Kamloops, but I was focussed on my busted camera to think of it. And 3), and this might sounds super pernickety, but on both days, it was several hours before we saw any real “scenery”… especially on day two, having left Kamloops at 7am, it was at least 1pm before we saw our first mountain, and between then and about 4pm, most of the spectacular views were obscured by trees. A couple of fellow travel losers said the same; we were like, “AITA for thinking this? Like, are we behaving like over-privileged children here?” Maybe we were, and we DEFINITELY didn’t want to sound like the worst Trip Adviser reviewers, but we really felt like the second day especially was unnecessarily long, given there’s not much to see. We figured it must be due to the length of time it takes to seat/feed everyone (utterly GORGEOUS food, btw), so I’m absolutely not going to count this as a negative thing against the RM team, who were utterly wonderful the entire time. So, our overall experience was that we were really, really glad to have had the experience, we feel incredibly lucky to have been able to afford to go (well, not actually “lucky” as such, my partner had an insurance payout after a serious health diagnosis, so… 🥺). We felt that, overall, it might have been just as great an adventure to have self-driven. Didn’t mean for this to be such a full review, couldn’t help myself 😂❤️

[@XiaochuanChen]

A truly special arrangement for a night in a hotel instead of on the train. The route designer knows that every traveler on this train will not want to miss any beautiful views along the way. As a result, sleeping overnight in the hotel is the smartest and most correct decision. Thanks for the great video.

[@JordanandEmily]

We agree! And it feels like a real luxury too!

[@JordanandEmily]

Completely agree! :)

[@juliannedean537]

What an amazing experience you both had. To see you both excited about this trip makes me very happy. There’s no way you could fault this trip, the staff, the meals, snacks, cocktails, views, the service, especially the little things like not having to worry about your luggage & to have it “magically” be in your room all seem to be flawless & considerate. The meals looked so delicious, proud of you Jordan for having the Dungeness crab, that was one thing I couldn’t wait to have when we were in Canada a few months ago. As you know many years ago we took the Rocky Mountaineer from Whistler to Vancouver but unfortunately we weren’t in gold leaf as it was a shortish trip. This is where I fell in love with train travel. I think dad & I are going to have to go back to Canada & go on the Rocky Mountaineer again but in gold leaf next time & perhaps when it’s snowing. I think I’ll be watching this one again, absolutely loved it. Miss you both, love you, mum.xx 💕💕🚉

It was so unique in that you got off the train and stayed in a hotel for the night and then continued your journey. Great video to have as a reminder of the great journey for years to come. It was an added benefit to meet some other Australians to experience the journey together. Hope the Rocky Mountaineer appreciates the great review given in the video. Big step up to go from the van life to the Gold pass on the luxurious train.

Would love to try this one day if the price goes down. I was lucky enough to do the Via trip from Ontario to Vancouver with my brother in 2014. We had the sleeper cabins for $750 CAD each. It is now around $6000 CAD for 2 people. I would recommend the Via trip instead as it has everything the Rocky Mountanieer has to offer with the addition of getting to sleep in the train - It literally rocks you sleep like you're an adult in a cradle. Some of the best sleep I've ever had. And a 4 day trip I will never forget. B.C was by far the best part. Ontario is also beautiful. Rest is flat and open!

Great review we are on the Rocky m week after next it looks as good if not better than the orient express for the cuisine.

You will love it! If you're a fan of steak you really can't go wrong! 😀

[@lisaedenfield2566]

About to go this Saturday, can't wait. Worried about the fires in Kamloops so we shall see. What was the actual dates that you went?

[@JordanandEmily]

You're going to have the best time! We left mid April, I think it was April 14th-ish 😄

[@jerseygirl6155]

what month was this trip taken? My TA did this last June and recommends it. I am watching the KZbin videos for info (yours was most recent so I watched yours first-thanks for the video!

[@JordanandEmily]

We were on the first trip this year - departed Vancouver April 17th ☺️

[@sharonpernes3487]

Enjoyed very much Come Downunder and do the Indian Pacific from Sydney tp Perth and The Ghan from Adelaide to Darwin

[@JordanandEmily]

Believe us, it's on the list for sure! 😄 can't wait to see more of Australia!

@@JordanandEmily awesome it's great but not as great as what you showed me om the Rocky Trip

[@TheHeat55]

I'd be curious to know if the passengers on these trains are mostly tourists or not. Honestly, I don't think Canadians see train travel the same way. I'm a native Montrealer, a retired 68 yo and I can't remember anyone ever telling me about a trip by train. Planes, cruise ships, RV's but no train. Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking it, just an observation. Great video by the way 🙂

[@JordanandEmily]

We had a pretty small sample size but it was definitely mostly tourists! There were some from America but I don't think we met a Canadian on board at all!

[@TheHeat55]

Yep, maybe it's because our country is 4800 miles across but trains are not a Canadian thing.@@JordanandEmily

[@billneal8995]

First time watching. Very much enjoyed it. I got tired of watching attention, grabbing the goofball Kara of Kara and nate

[@JordanandEmily]

Oh yay! Welcome aboard 😀

[@larseriksen9950]

Definitely very beautiful - but is this an advert for the train, or did you pay yourself ? And what did you pay, if I may ask. Just curious…

[@JordanandEmily]

Hi there! No worries at all! For this Journey we were lucky enough to partner with the Rocky mountaineer but we only ever parter with companies that allow us to say the truth! All of the excitement is just for the years of selling the journey to customers when I was a travel agent 😄

[@user-bg1ks6rk3z]

Loved your video, showed all the sites and amenities. Only problem I had was hearing you talk over the back ground music . .

[@JordanandEmily]

Oh good to know! We didn't realise 😀 Thanks for letting us know!

[@krkope8277]

Wow, the veneers on those two can blind a person.

[@vanessabaker7294]

Can you tell me how many days this trip was? what month you went (so I know if we will see snow) and were the seats assigned on the train in the gold leaf section? Thanks...I am trying to plan a trip for 2024

[@JordanandEmily]

Sure thing! This was a 2 day, 1 night journey and we went on the first trip of the year which was in mid April!

[@vanessabaker7294]

@@JordanandEmily did you do any tours? if so were they on your own or escorted tours? thanks

[@JordanandEmily]

@@vanessabaker7294 no tours off the train on this journey! Most of the stuff we did in the region was DIY like renting a van for a week!

[@capstar633]

Does the RM accommodate wheelchair passengers? It would be a bucket list dream for me and my son. I used to work for a railroad.

[@JordanandEmily]

Hi there, they definitely do! Even if your in gold leaf there's an elevator for complete wheelchair access!
