Tauck, the 98-year-old titan of upscale guided tours and cruises, is broadening its horizons with Rocky Mountaineer in a remarkable collaboration that redefines luxury rail travel. This esteemed partnership is set to launch two exclusive North American journeys, each featuring a mesmerizing two-day train voyage.
The first of these journeys, “Salt Lake City to Denver by Rocky Mountaineer,” is an eight-day adventure priced from $7,590 USD per person. This expedition starts with a two-night stay at Salt Lake City’s luxurious Grand America Hotel, offering city sightseeing and excursions to Park City’s alpine resort. The highlight is the Rocky Mountaineer rail journey from Moab, Utah, to Denver, Colorado, encompassing a night in Glenwood Springs and culminating in a two-night stay at The Four Seasons Hotel Denver.
Concurrently, “The Best of Western Canada & Rocky Mountaineer” is a 10-day escapade starting at $10,990 USD per person. This itinerary is notable for its stay at four distinct Fairmont properties, beginning with three nights at the iconic Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. It includes a float trip on the Bow River, a drive along the Icefields Parkway, and a memorable excursion atop the Athabasca Glacier. The rail segment, aboard the luxurious Rocky Mountaineer, offers panoramic views from Lake Louise to Vancouver, with an overnight halt in Kamloops, BC, and culminates in Vancouver with a stay at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver.
Acclaimed for its luxury train travel, Rocky Mountaineer recently earned the world’s top train title in Travel + Leisure’s “World’s Best Awards.” Tauck is no stranger to accolades, having been consistently recognized in these awards for over 26 years.
These itineraries blend the romance and relaxation of rail travel with scenic alpine landscapes, complemented by full-service hotel accommodations. The train segment promises unparalleled views and comfort, ensuring a travel experience.
