You can also include a city excursion of Whistler and/or Vancouver, extending your trip three to five days, depending on whether you choose one or both.

These trips are available in there levels of service, depending on what you'd like. Redleaf Service, Goldleaf Service and Goldleaf with Fairmont Deluxe service.

If you're looking for a longer journey throughout British Columbia's gorgeous landscape, there are lots of possible journeys, but only one possible response: Wow. No matter which trip you choose, I guarantee you’ll sit nose pressed to the window as the knowledgeable Onboard Attendants offer fascinating live commentary.

Oh and rest assured, the windows are cleaned thoroughly after each and every trip.

There's classic first passage to the West trips that include travelling through legendary Spiral Tunnels and passing by the the spot where the last spike on the Canadian Pacific Railway was driven. This trip is doused in history, and great for those wanting to retrace the steps of the 19th century explorers.
