Our newest route seamlessly connects the cosmopolitan city of Seattle, WA, USA with Vancouver, BC, Jasper, Lake Louise, Banff, and Calgary, AB. Begin or end your trip in Seattle, and consider combining your Rocky Mountaineer journey with an Alaska Cruise departing from one of the world’s most desired cruise ports.

HAS IT BEEN 25 YEARS ALREADY? They say time flies when you’re having fun. What they don’t say, however, is that time also flies when you’re being awe-inspired, wowed, and truly overwhelmed by a sequence of unparalleled life experiences. All told, with so many incredible memories made, and friendships forged, it’s no surprise the last quarter-century has flown by at Rocky Mountaineer. Since 1990, we have had the extreme good fortune (pinch us, please) to carry guests from the world over into the heart of the famed Canadian Rockies. Past our gorgeous lakes and lush landscapes not to mention, up, over, and around those staggering mountain peaks that make the Canadian Rockies, the Rockies. Through our charming rural towns, and into the lively, cosmopolitan cities that dot the Western Canadian terrain. And, for the first time ever, we now venture across the border into the United States as well. With the arrival of 2015, we take a moment to look back, celebrate, and revel in the many glorious reasons there are to hop aboard the Rocky Mountaineer. And, to look forward at all the greatness that lies ahead. Thank you for 25 Years of Life Changing Experiences. We look forward to 25 more. And 25 more. And 25 more after that too.

Enjoy diverse and extreme landscapes like BC’s coastal rainforest, the largest temperate rainforest in the world, as well as the desert-like conditions of the Fraser Canyon and the pastoral ranchlands of the historic Cariboo Gold Rush region. This journey begins or ends in Whistler, BC or in the picturesque Canadian Rockies town of Jasper, Alberta.

JOURNEY THROUGH THE CLOUDS

WHISTLER SEA TO SKY CLIMB

VANCOUVER » KAMLOOPS » JASPER

VANCOUVER » WHISTLER

You’ll witness unparalleled natural beauty including Mount Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies and the breathtaking Pyramid Falls. The journey begins or ends in Vancouver, BC or in Jasper, Alberta, which is in the largest national park in the Canadian Rockies, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Travel along the Sea to Sky Corridor between Vancouver and Whistler, and enjoy dramatic scenery as you slowly make the climb from the sparkling Pacific Ocean to old-growth forests and snowcapped mountain peaks.

MOTORCOACH Travel Eastbound (EB) or Westbound (WB) onboard the Rocky Mountaineer. All travel onboard the train is only during daylight, with overnight accommodation in comfortable hotels.

25 reasons to experience the Rocky Mountaineer during our 25th anniversary.

Reason

This is the best train journey in the world. Really.

The Society of American Travel Writers , the largest Travel Writers Association in the world, knows a thing or two about train travel. So when they awarded the Rocky Mountaineer “the Best Train Experience in the World”, who are we to question it? We take you beyond mountain ranges, waterfalls, and snow-capped glaciers and well beyond seeing bears, elk, and eagles. Our gifted storytellers take you into the history of place so you can truly live it all—in real time. And at the soul of it all? Our unwavering commitment to stellar service.

Reason #

Every journey is different, no trip is the same.

25 Years Young On the global stage, 1990 will go down in history as a very special and signiﬁcant year. Against all odds, Germany is reunited and once again becomes one country. The World Wide Web is created, changing our lives forever. Nelson Mandela is released from prison, and just four short years later he becomes South Africa’s President. Jubilant English and French workers meet in the middle of the momentous Chunnel to celebrate an astonishing achievement. For Rocky Mountaineer, 1990 is also significant. After many years of dreaming big and continuous hard work, we prepared for our maiden departure from beautiful Vancouver, BC to the majestic Canadian Rockies. Little did we know that in 25 short years, we would go on to welcome nearly two million guests from all corners of the world, introducing them to indescribable scenery and an experience they will never forget. In this period, we would go on to become the largest privately owned luxury train company in the world. As proud as we are of our history, we are even more excited about the future. We get to meet and make new friends on every departure, with both our guests and our team bringing home something very special. For all of the international awards and accolades, we keep on evolving, designing, measuring and tasting, and looking for other ways to create an even better life changing experience for our new and returning guests. When you join us onboard, you’ll know exactly why Rocky Mountaineer is like no other experience on earth. Every journey is different—no trip is the same. This is why Rocky Mountaineer is not 25 years old, but rather 25 years young. Warmest regards,

Randy Powell President & Chief Creator of Life Changing Experiences

We don’t do “ordinary”. Extraordinary, however, is another story. If you’re looking for your everyday point-A-topoint-B, run-of-the-mill travel experience, apologies in advance, but we’re unable to deliver. After all, there’s nothing ordinary about a Rocky Mountaineer experience. End of story. Well actually, it’s really just the beginning. In fact, many guests will tell you that it’s a bit like falling in love. What’s “ordinary” about falling in love? Nothing, that’s what. You get goosebumps and, at that very moment, the entire world seems perfect.

Mount Rundle & Two Jack Lake, Alberta » First Passage to the West

SNAPSHOT Oh, dear. The largest member of the deer family, the moose shares a common trait with trains: they both have bells. A moose’s bell is the ﬂap of skin below its throat. 4

And, on the Rocky Mountaineer, “perfect” pretty much sums it up. Just to board our shining coaches of blue and gold is to feel something extraordinary. A lively hubbub ﬁlls the air as sparkling windows frame Western Canada’s snow-capped mountains, glacier-fed lakes, and fertile river valleys. With ﬁvestar service and fresh, regionally inspired cuisine, this isn’t just a luxury trip—it’s a life changing experience that leaves tracks across the soul. But again, we apologize if you were looking for something a little more ordinary.

Our recipe for success is 25 years old.

Add a pinch of this and a dash of that. Smell something delicious in the air? Chances are it’s our age-old, tried-and-true, quarter-century-old recipe for success, which comes down to four key ingredients. Or, as we like to call them, our Four Ss.

Scenery

Service & Storytelling

Savoury & Sweet

Socialization

Pass through pristine Canadian —otherwise inaccessible— wilderness. Our trains run by day, so you’ll never miss the chance to take in the view while we wind along canyons or climb pine-covered slopes. Every night you will sleep soundly in a comfortable hotel, and rejoin your Hosts and fellow travellers onboard the train in the morning.

Excuse us for a moment, but there’s something we’d like to tell you, please. Manners, kindness and friendliness come as naturally to Canadians as breathing. And Rocky Mountaineer Hosts are world-class professionals who consistently exceed expectations. Listen in awe to their stories as they will take you to places only we can. Thank you.

Sure, we could use words like “delectable” to describe the deliciousness of regionally inspired delicacies like Alberta beef short ribs and wild BC sockeye salmon. But when it gets down to the cuisine of our award-winning chefs, we prefer to sum it up with “yum”.

Bond with kindred spirits from around the world. When you’re part of such an amazing adventure, friendship happens. Swap stories, spot wildlife, and laugh, laugh, laugh.

Planning Hints: » Where to start or end your trip? Vancouver, Calgary, and Seattle have international airports serving inbound ﬂights from around the world. If you’re starting your rail trip in Jasper, Banff, or Lake Louise, you can enjoy sightseeing tours beginning in Calgary. » Upgrade, anyone? You can upgrade the onboard service on the rail portion of your trip without spending extra on hotels. See Seat Only Upgrade in the prices area on each package page. » Sleep like Royalty Our GoldLeaf Deluxe Service offers the finest accommodation experience. If you choose to travel onboard the Rocky Mountaineer in GoldLeaf Deluxe Service, you’ll enjoy upgraded hotel accommodations, with superior views and/or larger hotel rooms throughout your tour. All accommodations in Kamloops and Quesnel are of moderate standard and cannot be upgraded. » Look for the code We’ve provided a Tour Code on each package page for easy reference (e.g. JBHC) when researching and booking your journey. » Consider a cruise Over 40% of our guests take an Alaska Cruise with their Rocky Mountaineer holiday. We have packages available with Holland America Line, offering a selection of departure points. See pages 78–81 for more information. » East? West? The itineraries shown in this brochure are Eastbound (EB—from Seattle or Vancouver to the Canadian Rockies). But fear not. Most of our packages are also available Westbound (WB—from the Canadian Rockies to Vancouver or Seattle). Read more about your directional travel options in each route’s content section, beginning on page 29. » Meal Plans We don’t want you foraging for food when you are off the train. Purchase a prepaid meal plan, and all breakfasts and dinners on your package tour will be taken care of. These meals taste much better than pinecones and berries.

Reason

Our destinations are rivaled by only one thing. The journey to get there.

Banff, Alberta

Mineral hot springs, a legendary backdrop, and

a castle have made Banff a tourist hot spot. As Canada’s first UNESCOprotected park, Banff stands as a world template for conservation and offers visitors the quintessential Canadian experience—jaw-dropping views and plenty of wildlife. Calgary, Alberta

Rolling green foothills and golden fields surround

this Prairie city. As the host of the 1988 Olympic Winter Games, Calgary is spearheading Canada’s economic boom while keeping it real with cowboy culture and plenty of down-home hospitality. Jasper, Alberta

Solitude and serenity are hallmarks of

Jasper—an untrammelled ecosystem of moose, elk, caribou, and bears. This outdoorsy haven offers plenty of adrenalin-charged activities among mountains, icefields, and delicate ecosystems. Kamloops, British Columbia

The name Kamloops comes

from the Secwepemc word Tk’emlúps meaning “the meeting of the rivers”, as this is where the South Thompson and North Thompson rivers join. A semi-arid ecosystem welcomes travellers to Kamloops—Canada’s only desert region, with over 2,000 hours of sunshine each year. Kamloops is a charming overnight stop on the First Passage to the West and Journey through the Clouds routes.

Lake Louise, Alberta

The turquoise-tinged water of Lake Louise

nestled amidst an amphitheatre of craggy mountains has precipitated enough clichés to drown a poet. Be prepared for random lyrical outbursts and undying love pledges from total strangers. Maligne Canyon, Jasper, Alberta 22

Destinations that range from quaint to cosmopolitan. In life, they say it’s all about the journey. But there are times when, the destination counts for a whole lot. Our array of impressive destinations includes quaint towns like Quesnel and cosmopolitan hot spots like the cities of Vancouver, Calgary, and

Seattle. And of course the vast selection of natural havens—such as Jasper, Lake Louise, and Banff— in between. While each is unique in its own way, they all share one thing in common. They’re simply unforgettable.

In Quesnel, all that glitters is gold.

Gold drew Europeans here. And ranching enticed them to stay. Today, ranching, forestry, tourism and mining are the major industries in Western Canada.

The Pacific rainforest is ripe with scattered islands, fabulous fjords, ancient cedars,

Towering trees watch over an unchanging landscape reputedly guarded by ancient spirits. (We dare you to deny you can’t feel their presence.) Enjoy an up-close view of gold country, home of the long-ago Gold Rush, when you stop overnight at Gold Pan City, more popularly known as Quesnel.

Reason

We bring heroes onboard as our way of saying thank you.

At Rocky Mountaineer, we approach every day with one goal in mind—to be Creators of Life Changing Experiences. While our top priority is our guests from across the globe, we also care about changing the lives of our employees, our partners, and the people in the communities we travel through. In 2013, we launched a new community initiative— the Life Changing Train for Heroes. This annual program recognizes and honours individuals and organizations who have made a significant impact on the lives of others. Each year, a different group of heroes are chosen and invited to share an unforgettable life changing journey onboard the internationally acclaimed Rocky Mountaineer train through Western Canada. With the amazing scenery and vast landscapes found along our rail journeys, the Life Changing Train for Heroes provides inspiration to those who have selflessly given so much to help others and the families who supported them along the way. This initiative also raises awareness for the organizations and charities that continue to provide assistance and encouragement to our heroes.

7. AM I ABLE TO MOVE WITHIN THE ROCKY MOUNTAINEER? One of the advantages of train travel is the spacious room afforded to all guests. Guests are able to move through their own coaches. GoldLeaf Service, SilverLeaf Service, and RedLeaf Service guests can enjoy fresh air outside their coaches. Access to the GoldLeaf Dome coach and adjacent vestibule is limited to guests reserving this service. Guests on the Whistler Sea to Sky Climb route have access to an open-air Heritage Observation Car.

6. WHAT IS THE PROTOCOL CONCERNING GRATUITIES FOR ROCKY MOUNTAINEER HOSTS? Gratuities are not included in prices (unless indicated) for Rocky Mountaineer Hosts, driverguides, transfers, tour escorts, hotel porterage, or Red Cap Porters. While it is neither our place nor our wish to tell you how much to tip, gratuities in Canada are often given in recognition of service excellence. If you are travelling on an organized tour, you may want to check with your tour director to confirm the amount of gratuity for your Hosts that may have been included in your tour package.

WH ISTL E

12. WHAT WILDLIFE WILL I SEE? There are wonderful opportunities for viewing wildlife during your stay in Canada’s West, including bear, elk, deer, moose, bald eagles, osprey, salmon, mountain goats, and bighorn sheep. However, “wildlife is wild” and, as such, sightings are never guaranteed. If you do come into contact with animals, please act responsibly, maintain a safe distance and never feed any wild animal.

RedLeaf Service guests will need to pack a small overnight bag for their stay in Kamloops or Quesnel. Main luggage will be checked through to their final Rocky Mountaineer destination and will not be available in Kamloops or Quesnel. GoldLeaf Service and SilverLeaf Service guests’ luggage will be delivered to their Kamloops or Quesnel accommodation. All guests should be sure to carry any medications with them onboard the train.

As such, the converted AUD prices appearing in this brochure should only be used as a guide, and may differ from the price at actual time of booking. Rocky Mountaineer cannot be held responsible for any changes that may occur and reserves the right to increase the price of any travel arrangement up to the date of departure. This includes, but is not limited to, exchange rate adjustments, fuel surcharges, and airfare increases. Deposits along with final payments must be in the same currency as the booking. Changes to bookings such as alterations to services, or cancellations are charged in the same currency of the original booking, and each change is subject to the current pricing as per the date of change. 4. Canadian Goods and Services Tax (GST) All prices are subject to GST, which will be charged upon confirmation of booking. Currently, the Canadian GST rate is 5%. Other sales taxes vary by province in Canada, therefore applicable taxes may vary for travel departures initiating outside of British Columbia. Guests who are not residents of Canada are eligible for a rebate of the GST paid on short-term accommodation. If they are purchasing their rail tour from outside Canada, Rocky Mountaineer may claim the rebate on their behalf. The result is a 50% reduction in the tax rate. When non-resident guests purchase their rail tour while in Canada, Rocky Mountaineer charges GST at the full rate, and any GST rebate to which a visitor to Canada may be entitled must be claimed from the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency directly by the guest. This short-term accommodation rebate is subject to change without notice and does not apply to cruise or overnight rail trips. Note: Canadian taxes are subject to change. As such, guest billings may be adjusted as required. 5. Rail-Only and Package Tour Inclusions The following costs are not included unless otherwise specified: GST, fuel surcharges, transfers, gratuities, alcoholic beverages, meals, room service or other hotel incidentals, items of a personal nature, and all other items not specified in the description of the applicable tour. If one of our packages does not meet your requirements, we will be pleased to customize your rail tour package. Ask your Vacation Consultant for details. Individual tour component pricing breakdowns are not available. 6. Self-Drive Packages and Car Rental Policies Minimum requirements for car rental: • Driver must be 25 years of age, or older, • Possess a valid driver’s licence, and • Hold a major credit card. If the driver’s licence is not in English, an International Driving Permit is strongly recommended. This is required for translation purposes to confirm the validity of the driver’s licence for the safety of renters and for the car rental company. A credit card deposit will be required at time of car rental pick-up to cover costs not included in the Rocky Mountaineer package. These costs are the responsibility of the renter and are payable when the vehicle is returned. A car rental day is based on a 24-hour period. For example, if you have a 3 day car rental and you pick up your car at 10 am, it must be returned at or before 10 am 3 days later; otherwise, you will be charged an extra day’s car rental. Please provide approximate pick-up time and location at time of reservation. Confirmation of drop-off time will be provided when the car is picked up. Rates do not include hotel parking charges, gasoline, Loss/Damage Waiver (LDW), Personal Accident Insurance (PAI), meals, attractions, passage by ferry, port taxes, child seats, drop-off charges if the vehicle is not dropped off at the location specified in the itinerary, any applicable charges for additional drivers, upgrades to a higher car class, additional rental days, any other optional charge or service charges, and GST. Pick-up or drop-off at an airport may be subject to an additional charge by the car rental company. 7. Possible Alterations Rocky Mountaineer reserves the right to modify, alter, or substitute all or any part of its services when reasonably necessary or advisable. Should this occur, Rocky Mountaineer agrees to provide the best alternative reasonably available. Every effort will be made to adhere to the specifics shown herein; however, circumstances may necessitate alteration, including the occasional accommodation change from properties listed in this brochure. Hence, all fares, schedules, itineraries, hours of arrival and departure, air schedules, and special programs are subject to change without notice at any time. Rocky Mountaineer will not under any circumstances be liable to refund the charges

as a result of modification, alteration, or substitution of services, subject only to the limited claims in respect of cancellation by Rocky Mountaineer set out in section 13 of this Agreement. 8. Supplier’s Liabilities Rocky Mountaineer and Armstrong Group act as an agent for and make arrangements with airlines, hotels, bus lines, and other independent parties to provide you with non-rail travel services and accommodations. Although great care is taken to choose suppliers, we are unable to directly control them and therefore we are not responsible for their acts or omissions.

Company Liability You assume all risks of your participation in rail tour operations, travel services, accommodations, and other services, facilities, products, or events provided in connection with this Agreement (all of which are collectively referred to as the “Tour”), and you waive and release all claims that you may have or acquire against Rocky Mountaineer, Armstrong Group, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agent (all of whom are collectively referred to as the “Releasees”) arising from or related, directly or indirectly, to the Tour, including claims arising from the negligence of any Releasee, and including (without restriction) claims for or arising from personal injury, death, property damage, delay, inconvenience, advertising, misrepresentation, loss of revenue or profit, loss of enjoyment, upset, distress, or frustration, whether physical, mental, or otherwise, expenses, travel, or accommodation costs, claims for punitive damages, claims for unjust enrichment, profits, waiver of tort, non-monetary loss, injunctive relief, or any other form of remedy, subject only to the limited claims in respect of loss of luggage or cancellation by Rocky Mountaineer set out in sections 12 and 13 of this Agreement. 10. Force Majeure Rocky Mountaineer and Armstrong Group will not be responsible for the performance of this agreement if prevented or delayed by acts of God, strikes or other labour relations matters, accidents, weather, traffic, airport conditions, lack of performance by third party suppliers, or other causes beyond their reasonable control from meeting its terms. Nor will they be responsible for any loss or damage relating to train cancellations or any other cancellations. Rocky Mountaineer and Armstrong Group reserve the right to decline to accept or retain any person as a tour participant should such person’s behaviour, health, or mental condition be detrimental to the operation of the tour or to other passengers. Rocky Mountaineer and Armstrong Group are not liable for any expenses arising as a result of exercising this right. 11.
