Great Canadian Rockies and Coast Journey featuring VIA RAIL and Rocky Mountaineer

Independent 9-day Rocky Mountaineer and VIA Rail trip, Vancouver to Prince Rupert

Railbookers sells this 9-day, 8-night independent rail trip through the Canadian Rockies and along the North Coast, pairing two named train journeys. From Vancouver, the Rocky Mountaineer carries travelers through Kamloops and on toward Jasper, winding through the snow-capped peaks of the Rockies in what the operator calls luxurious accommodation. After time exploring Jasper National Park, the trip continues north aboard VIA Rail to Prince George and on to Prince Rupert on the coast, where travelers may see grizzly bears, whales and other marine wildlife in their natural habitats. Because this is an independent package rather than an escorted tour, travelers manage their own connections between each stop. Railbookers prices the trip from 2,899 US dollars.
