Day One - Welcome to Calgary!
Welcome to Calgary! Known as the “Heart of the New West”, the frontier spirit of Calgary is alive and well amidst the thriving energy sector that has entrenched this city as a corporate powerhouse. Your private chauffeur will greet you at the Calgary International Airport and transfer you to The Fairmont Palliser Hotel for your overnight stay on the luxurious Gold Floor of this vintage Canadian Pacific Hotel located in the downtown core. Dinner will be on your own tonight allowing you to explore the many superb restaurants along Stephen Avenue.

Day Two - Banff - Lake Louise
Your luxury rail tour will depart the Canadian Pacific Railway Pavilion in the morning bound for the world-famous township of Banff, Alberta. Visit the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel – “Castle of the Rockies” - before enjoying some free time for shopping. Returning to the train you will travel a short distance to Lake Louise, Alberta. Mingle with your traveling companions during a cocktail reception and enjoy a splendid dinner as the sun sets over the Canadian Rockies.

Day Three - Lake Louise - Spiral Tunnels - Revelstoke, BC
After a morning of sightseeing at Lake Louise and area, the train will depart in the afternoon. Enjoy the views from an open air vestibule as the train descends through Kicking Horse Pass. This pass was one of the biggest challenges to the building of the transcontinental railroad, now demonstrating the ingenious engineering feat known as the “Spiral Tunnels” which have allowed safe rail movement through the pass since 1909. The train will be arriving in early evening into the railway town of Revelstoke, BC.

Day Four - Okanagan Valley - Kamloops
An early morning departure from Revelstoke will offer beautiful morning vistas of the Shushwap subdivision. This is lake country and the gateway to the Okanagan Valley; western Canada’s wine region. Upon arrival into Kamloops you will spend the afternoon exploring a sampling of what this region has to offer before returning to the train at Kamloops for our final overnight stay on the train.

Day Five - Thompson Valley - Fraser Valley - Hell’s Gate
Bid farewell to Kamloops as the train departs and winds through the Thompson Valley and on to the Fraser Valley. From the train you will have a hill-top view of the awesome Hell’s Gate – a natural gorge of rock walls that forces the mighty Fraser River through a 110 foot wide passage. The train will arrive into Port Coquitlam rail yard where you will detrain and be transferred to the luxurious Fairmont boutique hotel – the Fairmont Waterfront.

Day Six - Tour Ends
After breakfast and checkout, transfer to the Vancouver International Airport, marking the end of your journey with Royal Canadian Pacific.
