-Uncommon Journeys Unveils New 2015 Canadian Rockies Adventures-
Uncommon Journeys, the leader in North American train experiences, is pleased to unveil three new 2015 adventures featuring private, luxury rail travel through the beauty and splendor of the Canadian Rockies. Combining first-class accommodations, exquisite dining and comprehensive sightseeing, Uncommon Journeys offers guests the chance to experience Canada like never before.
“Our new 2015 Canadian itineraries allow guests to delve into the magnificence of one of the world’s best bucket-list destinations,” shares Uncommon Journeys president Kevin Tam. “The Canadian Rockies including the famed Jasper, Banff and Lake Louise offer travelers awe-inspiring scenery and unforgettable excursions without having to travel halfway across the globe.”
Beginning with an overnight stay in glorious Niagara Falls, the renowned “2015 Canadian Panorama” trip is the only rail journey of its kind to offer five full nights in the Canadian Rockies. Guests travel onboard VIA Rail from Toronto to Jasper in splendid art deco vista-dome cars, savoring breathtaking views and exceptional cuisine onboard. A bounty of sightseeing experiences await including a picturesque Gondola ride in Banff, Columbia Icefield Sno-coach tour atop Athabasca Glacier and exploration of stunning Lake Louise, Jasper and Vancouver.
Featuring a three-day/two-night stay in Toronto, Uncommon Journey’s “2015 Great Canadian Train Ride” itinerary includes the same luxury VIA Rail trip to Jasper onboard “The Canadian.” Three-nights in Banff at the splendid Banff Park Lodge and two-nights in Jasper with sightseeing of hidden gems like Maligne Lake are followed by a final one-night stay and farewell dinner in gorgeous Vancouver. The “2015 Elegant Canadian Rockies” adventure offers guests another option for discovering this picturesque region, including train travel from Seattle to Glacier National Park onboard the stylish “Great Western Limited.” The shortest itinerary at eight days, this trip features the storied “Going to the Sun Highway” via red open-air jammer buses, a visit to Alberta’s charming Waterton National Park and a magical four-night conclusion in Banff.
