Rocky Mountaineer Train Review | Cost Breakdown | Is it worth the MONEY?

Editorial Summary

The creators provide a detailed review of the Rocky Mountaineer railroad journey through the Canadian Rockies, specifically covering the nine day Journey Through the Clouds route from Vancouver to Calgary. They evaluate the Gold Leaf service level, which includes a two story passenger car, a dedicated dining car, and an outdoor viewing platform. The review compares the Gold Leaf option to the Silver Leaf service and examines different hotel accommodation tiers, including standard rooms and various levels at Fairmont hotels. While the creators praise the professional crew, the high quality of the food, and the scenic bus tours provided by Brewster Tours, they express disappointment regarding the value of the premium hotel rooms. They note that the high cost of Fairmont accommodations did not always align with the level of comfort provided, such as the lack of air conditioning in certain rooms. Ultimately, the creators conclude that while the experience is a first class operation, travelers can find better value by choosing Silver Leaf service or traveling during the shoulder seasons of May or September to save money.
