The 2025 season of the Rocky Mountaineer has officially left the station — and we’re thrilled to say that departures are now underway across all four routes, including the ever-popular Rockies to the Red Rocks journey, which launched its first departure of the year from its brand-new home at Denver Union Station.
This marks a major milestone for the luxury rail company — 35 seasons in Western Canada and five seasons in the American Southwest, delivering travelers some of the most jaw-dropping scenery in North America.
Whether you’re dreaming of the snow-capped peaks of Alberta or the red rock canyons of Utah, there’s never been a better time to book your seat. With summer adventures and fall foliage season fast approaching, let 2025 be the year you experience the magic of luxury train travel.
What Makes Rocky Mountaineer So Special?
This is not your average train ride. These are daylight-only journeys designed to immerse you in every spectacular view — from cascading waterfalls and alpine lakes to desert cliffs and canyon passes.
Here’s what you can expect onboard:
- Panoramic, glass-domed coaches for uninterrupted views
- Gourmet meals crafted with locally sourced ingredients
- Friendly, top-tier service from onboard Hosts
- New regionally inspired menus on Canadian routes in 2025
- The option to extend your journey with a Circle Journey, combining multiple routes in one trip
