Rocky Mountaineer is a bucket-list trip for many. And rightfully so: few experiences rival viewing the Canadian Rockies through the train’s glass-domed windows.

In GoldLeaf Service, the upper seating level sits beneath a near-complete glass dome for unobstructed views of everything passing by.

And then there’s the round-the-clock service provided by the onboard Hosts. They do it all: serving seatside drinks and snacks, sharing the stories and history of the region, and announcing the occasional elk, bear, or eagle sighting along the tracks. 🦅

As travel experts, we never stop learning about the experiences we recommend. Our team had the privilege of exploring Mountaineer in Vancouver ahead of its departure to the Rockies — and before travelers took their seats — to bring you every detail firsthand.

Spend your summer in the Okanagan Valley. ☀️

Long, warm days invite you onto the lake for paddling, boating, and swimming from sandy beaches, while hiking trails reward you with panoramic valley views.

Between activities, farmers' markets and roadside stands brim with freshly picked peaches and cherries, and winery patios come alive with music and local wine during the evenings. 🍷

We can bring you there: https://canadabydesign.com/location/okanagan-region

Set in the heart of the Okanagan Valley, Kelowna is Canada's first UNESCO City of Gastronomy: home to world-class wineries, endless orchards, and farm-to-table dining.

We love it best in summer. It’s a natural stop on a BC road trip between Vancouver and the Rockies, with wine tasting, lake adventures, and hiking trails all within reach. Connect through the link in bio to start planning your visit.

Canada’s Wine Country 🍇

The Okanagan Valley is home to over 120 wineries, from boutique-run estates to internationally acclaimed producers.

The valley's main centers — Kelowna, Penticton, and Osoyoos — each offer plenty to do year-round, with lake activities a particular draw, while Naramata sits close to Okanagan Mountain Park for those seeking a quieter base.

The Okanagan Valley features in our British Columbia road trips; connect through the link in bio to find out more.

Trains in Canada: Rocky Mountaineer vs VIA Rail

Rocky Mountaineer is loved for luxurious travel through the Rockies by daylight; VIA Rail for a coast-to-coast sleeper adventure, year-round. Both are unmissable, so we can help you choose one, or, better yet, combine both in one trip.

Which train would you pick first?

Two passenger trains regularly service Canada’s tracks, yet each offers a different kind of journey.

Rocky Mountaineer runs on exclusive tracks in daylight hours only — so you never miss a highlight — with comfortable hotels to rest in between. In GoldLeaf Service, you travel in the top level of glass dome coaches, with complimentary beverages always in hand, and dine on multi-course gourmet meals below in the dining room.

VIA Rail invites travelers into the bygone era of the sleeper train. Spend your days in the bubble-like Skyline Car, peeking over the silver roof to the wilderness beyond, and your nights tucked in bed.

While Fogo Island Inn might visually stand out from the rest of the island, it is deeply ingrained in its culture.

Profits are reinvested into the community, locals are employed as staff, and most furniture — whether sleek wooden chairs, knitted pillows, or the iconic patchwork quilts that top the beds, each signed and dated by its maker — is made right on the island.

A striking building, yes, but also a vital lifeblood of Fogo Island.

Fogo Island Inn is one of the most luxurious — and meaningful — stays we offer. A Three MICHELIN Key property deeply connected to the local community, with every part of the experience reflecting the landscape and people of the island.

After your stay, we recommend exploring nearby wonders like Gros Morne National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, or Iceberg Alley to see massive ice formations float by.
