Rocky Mountaineer is targeting the Chinese travel market with a series of new, premium travel experiences that designed to provide travellers from China with privileged access to the Canadian Rocky Mountains by train.

We are so pleased to share our train journeys in the Canadian Rocky Mountains with even more people in China who are looking for premium, authentic experiences.”

New for 2020, Rocky Mountaineer is offering two premium vacation packages, which offer the world-renowned experience in Mandarin with considerate Mandarin-speaking hosts onboard the train, along with a selection of Canadian-inspired and Chinese-inspired dishes. A Mandarin-speaking tour director will be available to assist guests on the train and in hotels.

Travellers looking to experience Rocky Mountaineer can plan for one of more than 50 Mandarin-language journeys in 2020; or take advantage of the full schedule of English-language departures, both of which operate from April to October.

As well, travellers can arrange for one of the Rocky Mountaineer developed vacation packages; or book the two-day train journey exclusively as part of their wider Canadian travel plans. This schedule builds on the success of 2019, where Rocky Mountaineer welcomed more than 1,000 guests from China, across its English and Mandarin journeys.
