Seven-day rail journey Vancouver to Edmonton on Rocky Mountaineer

Illustration of Journey Through the Clouds Excursion

Rocky Mountaineer's Journey Through the Clouds is a seven-day package combining free exploration of Vancouver with a two-day train journey to Edmonton. You spend your first two days in Vancouver with no guided activities, free to discover Stanley Park, Granville Island, historic Gastown, or the Seawall walk along the Coast Mountains and Pacific Ocean. The centrepiece is two days aboard the Rocky Mountaineer train in either SilverLeaf or GoldLeaf service, traversing the Canadian Rockies from Vancouver eastward. The itinerary includes a half-day sightseeing tour of Jasper National Park. Accommodation in Vancouver is at Fairmont five-star hotels. The package suits independent travellers who value flexibility and comfort, as well as those returning to scenic rail travel and seeking a premium experience without a fully guided pace.
