The Rocky Mountaineer Experience
Travel through the Canadian Rockies entirely by daylight 
See the Spiral Tunnels and cross the Continental Divide 
Watch the landscape change from the coast to the mountains 
Take in the views from a glass-dome coach and outdoor viewing platform 
Pass landmarks like Hell’s Gate, Pyramid Falls or Mount Robson Gold Leaf or Silver Leaf - what should we choose?
Advantages
- Travel in Rocky Mountaineer’s bi-level glass-dome coach for the best views.
- Enjoy meals served in a dedicated lower-level dining room.
- Access a large exclusive outdoor viewing platform for fresh air, photos and unobstructed scenery.
- Benefit from premium beverages, signature cocktails and a larger onboard service team.
- A strong choice if the train journey itself is the centrepiece of your holiday.
Disadvantages
- Comes at a higher price point than SilverLeaf.
- The extra inclusions are more about comfort and style, as both classes travel the same route and see the same major sights.
- For some travelers, the extra spend may be better used on hotel upgrades or extra nights in the Rockies.
Advantages
- Enjoy oversized windows and spectacular daylight scenery through the Rockies.
- Meals and drinks are served at your seat, which many travelers find simple and convenient.
- Includes gourmet breakfasts and lunches, beverages, Host commentary and luggage delivery to your overnight hotel.
- A great option if you want to balance the rail experience with your wider holiday budget.
Disadvantages
- Does not include GoldLeaf's bi-level coach or separate dining room.
- The outdoor viewing area is a small, more-enclosed outdoor area (can be shared comfortably by one or two people at a time).
- Feels less premium overall if you are looking for a more luxurious onboard experience.

Amazing Trip
Canadian Masterpiece with Rocky Mountaineer & Alaska Cruise
Craig and Rebecca, NSW, Australia, Sep 2025
We cannot fault the organisation of Global Journeys and Cosmos Tours from booking to completion. The tour was well-paced, allowing for a great balance of free-time and group sight-seeing. The accommodation was comfortable and in good locations within towns. The tour of The Canadian Rockies and Inside Passage was just awe-inspiring, one jaw dropping read more moment after another. Additional tours offered provided a good balance for varying degrees of adventure- zip-lining and rafting into Jasper being two of our highlights. Our travel agent Hannah was very efficient and helpful and Tour Director Gemael was so informative, friendly, helpful and welcoming that we couldn't have asked for more.
Fantastic Itinerary and Tour Guide
Rockies and Alaskan Adventure
Julie and David, QLD, Australia, Aug 2025
We chose this tour based on what was covered in the extensive itinerary, and we were not disappointed. It ticked all the “must do” points of interest in a Canadian west coast tour, and the 7 night cruise and additional few days overland in Alaska were well worth it. We were travelling at the end of the season, with a number of tourist venues and experiences read more actually closing down for the winter within days of our trip. This was not entirely a disadvantage, as we were rewarded with a smattering of snow on some mountain peaks as well as tree foliage turning into autumn yellow. We were slightly disappointed that we did not see a lot of wildlife - bears in particular - but the weather was kind to us and allowed us to see spectacular scenery without it being shrouded in rain, mist or cloud. We had not been on a ship as large as Holland America’s Nieuw Amsterdam before (2,100 pax) but we were impressed by the quality of staterooms and dining, and the helpfulness and efficiency of the crew.
One disadvantage of the tour was the large group size (49), which is larger than we prefer, but at least the whole group was punctual for the entire trip, which allowed time for some little “extras” along the way. The Travelmarvel tour guide, Ben, was absolutely fantastic – a young 30-something Queenslander who had been living in Canada for 10+ years. He was extremely hard-working, thorough, always cheerful, and with a smile, patiently answered questions from those who should have listened to his briefings in the first place! His quirky sense of humour had the whole bus laughing and added significantly to our enjoyment of the tour.

Helen and Meredith, Victoria, Australia, Aug 2025
Georgie Walpole managed my booking very well and special thanks go to her. Ben Direen was an excellent tour guide and made every member of the group feel special. He had a wonderful sense of humour and kept the very busy tour on time. The accommodation was comfortable and well placed. Staffing for breakfast at a couple of the hotels was limited but read more this may have been because of the end of the tourist season and early departure of some of those staff. I would not choose to cruise on such a large ship in the future as my preference is for smaller ships and fewer passengers. Otherwise, everything went as scheduled.

Fabulous Holiday!
Enchanting Rockies and Alaska Cruise
Jill, WA , Australia, Aug 2025
This tour was enjoyable every day. The Rocky Mountaineer experience was fantastic (we upgraded to Golf Leaf), the coach tour allowed us to see so many wonderful sights and the Holland America Inside Passage cruise was superb. The scenery is spectacular. Our Tour Leader was very knowledgeable and great fun.
Good Travel Agency with Responsive Staff
Rockies Grandeur & Alaska Cruise
Paul, NSW, Australia, Aug 2025
This was my second tour booked with Global Journeys. We returned to Global Journeys because of good services in prior tour. And for this second one, we also received similar service. The consultants we engaged were Grace and Georgie who had been very helpful and responsive. I highly recommend Global Journeys for your tour requirements.
The Rocky read more Grandeur tour was good. We quite enjoyed the services and in general, accommodations were ok except for the South Thomson Inn in Kamloops and Emerald Lodge in Emerald Lake. I would rate South Thomson Inn as the worst in this tour due to the location and meals. The breakfast was something like an Australia outback motor inn. Emerald Lake Lodge was unique but I rated it low because of the dodgy pillows that could not support the neck. Not sure why this accommodation would use such cheap pillows that caused me and my wife unable to sleep and had sore necks the next day. Hilton Whistler was the best in term of everything. Places this tour included were good and we really enjoyed the sceneries and other places Emerald Tours took us. The tour director , Rhonda Borton was also nice, professional and very helpful.
The Rocky Mountaineer train ride was very nice with professional crews, good food and comfortable carriages. We felt lucky that we did not upgrade to Gold Leaf class as the Silver Leaf was quite nice. I think the approx US$3,000.- saving for 3 persons was a good decision. But if you really enjoy better food and the booze, the Gold Leaf might be your choice. Since we are not drinkers and have to be careful with food due to our age, the Silver Leaf was sufficient.
The Holland America Line’s Alaska Inside Passage cruise was good especially for those who never visited Alaska on cruise. HA provided lots of food and choices from many countries. Services were very good and super friendly. We were very impressed with the 2 staterooom stewarts, Amir and Cipto who looked after our cabins. These two guys worked so hard and always kept the rooms clean and tidy. Thumb up for the guys.
The optional (extra cost) dinners at Rudy’s and Pinnacle restaurants were worth the money with yummy food and services. I highly recommend if you want to taste something different from the meals included in the cruise package. The all you can have laundry at US$70.- for the entire cruise is also a good option if want to keep your clothes clean.
Entertainments were good and we did enjoyed the dancing performances. The gym was ok but not as good as I expected. But I am more on the weightliftings side rather than treadmills though.
Out of some optional excursions we took, the Tracy Arm Fjord was the most disappointed one. At US$309.95/pax, it was a waste of time and money. The Tracy Arm Fjord was replaced with Endicott Arm. Since I had never seen Tracy Arm, my comment here is about Endicott Arm. It was another glacier, nothing special. It took 6 hours for the return journey and we stayed for about 30 or so minutes to view the glacier. No whale, dolphin nor bear to see. There could be a few seal but I cannot recall exactly. On 27/08/2025, the cruise arrived at Glacier Bay National Park. I can tell you that it is not much different (except the mountain view) from the Endicott Arm and it is FREE. So safe your $309.95 and enjoy Glacier Bay instead. From the Fjord environment perspective, my view is the Norwegian Fjords (like Geiranger) and New Zealand’s Milford Sound are better.
