Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been on Rocky Mountain twice in Canada and once in the United States so I was very fortunate to do the United States

if you really want that luxurious feeling gold is definitely go for the gold if you're going to do it go for the gold

we are the only French flag Cruise Line in the world so you have to ask yourself why is that we're strict we're expensive and we're not easy to deal with

we're the only train that arrives into into Moab which is a really unique way to get there

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book early for better savings and to take advantage of promotions
Consider the Silver Leaf Plus option for the US Route for an elevated experience
Travel mid-June onwards for the best turquoise blue glacial color in the lakes
