ROCKY MOUNTAINEER OFFERS FOUR DISTINCT RAIL ROUTES


 

You now have the unenviable task of choosing between wonderful, fabulous, amazing, and fantastic.

 

First Passage to the West

Travelling between the coast and Banff or Lake Louise, you’ll witness mountains and wilderness, much of it seemingly unchanged since the days of the first explorers.

 

Rockies to the Red Rocks

This route, the only one in America, includes canyons, deserts, and archways of the Southwest. You’ll cross the Continental Divide and journey through the Moffat Tunnel too. 

 

Journey to the Clouds

This route takes you through the heart of the Canadian Rockies, with all of nature’s raw beauty on fully display. Highlights include Mount Robson and the postcard-perfect Pyramid Falls.

 

Rainforest to Goldrush

Going from one extreme to the another, this route traverses the world’s largest temperate rainforest, linking it to the arid ranchlands of the historic Cariboo Gold Rush region. 

IT'S ALWAYS A GOOD TIME TO GO


 

Anytime is the perfect time to travel onboard Rocky Mountaineer, as all seasons they operate in are beautiful.

 

AUTUMN (SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER)
 

The forests create a vibrant display of red, orange, and gold, mixed with evergreen. Snow frosts the mountain peaks. The animals forage through the wilderness to prepare for the coming winter.

 

SPRING (APRIL-MAY)

Lakes, streams, and waterfalls swell with the melting remnants of winter and snow-capped mountain peaks. Bears lumber out of hibernation. Flowers blossom. The wilderness comes alive and it’s yours to savour.

 

SUMMER (JUNE-AUGUST)
 

Warm weather urges vegetation to flourish. Newborn animals emerge under their parent’s watchful eyes. The rainforest is at its most lush and the arid desert canyons have an especially rugged beauty.

I’m Natalia - Travel Fairy!? 

I love crafting trips that blend discovery, comfort, and a little bit of magic.

My initial introduction to the world of travel was becoming a flight attendant after my graduation many moons ago! This gave me first-hand knowledge of flights, airlines and fuelled my own love of travel alongside other travellers.

I’ve visited more than 30 countries, lived in Russia, Thailand, and India,  and travelled widely across Europe and Asia. Each experience has helped me become familiar with both budget and luxury styles of travel (and everything in between!).

As a mum of two, I’m also an expert in travelling with children from toddlers to teens, and I know how to make those trips smooth and enjoyable to all!

With so many years in customer service and the travel industry, I understand and I’m attentive to my clients’ needs and preferences, creating journeys that match their personality and style of travel — from solo travellers and couples to families and all kinds of groups.

I see every journey as a beautiful puzzle. With care and attention, I bring all the pieces together to create your seamless and unforgettable experience.

So, whether you are planning a family holiday, peaceful escapes, or a once-in-a-lifetime journey, I’d love to help.  

Let’s have some fun & bring your travel dreams to life together!

Travel has always been a passion of mine, but what I enjoy most is helping others experience the excitement that comes with planning their next adventure. Whether it's a once-in-a-lifetime holiday, a family getaway, a cruise, or a quick escape, I love taking the stress out of the planning process so my clients can simply look forward to their trip.

As a Travel Consultant with House of Travel, I've been fortunate to experience a wide variety of travel styles first-hand. From ocean cruising and independent travel to small group journeys and fully escorted tours, I understand that no two travellers are the same. I've explored destinations throughout Australia, Europe, Asia, the South Pacific and the USA, giving me genuine first-hand knowledge that I can share with my clients.

Australia remains one of my favourite destinations, with its incredible mix of vibrant cities, stunning coastlines and unforgettable regional experiences. Cruising is another personal passion, and I enjoy helping clients find the perfect ship and itinerary, whether it's their very first cruise or they're seasoned travellers looking for their next adventure.

I believe the best holidays are built around the people taking them. That's why I take the time to understand what my clients enjoy, what inspires them, and what they want from their travels. My goal is simple—to create seamless, memorable holidays while providing honest advice, personalised service, and support every step of the way.
