Rocky Mountaineer Is Back On Track
While it was forced to suspend its entire 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Rocky Mountaineer is back and, as you can imagine, is delighted to be able to get back to doing what they do best, which is welcoming guests on its trains.
This month, Rocky Mountaineer will be operating a reduced schedule as it ramps up operations to offer the full schedule in August.
With domestic travel expected to recover first, Rocky Mountaineer is focusing on reaching more Canadians to encourage them to consider travelling with the rail company this summer and to that end, has a number of special promotions targeted exclusively to Canadians.
Programs include:
- Rocky Mountaineer has partnered with Fairmont to offer savings of up to $2,900 per couple on packages that pair the train with overnight stays in Fairmont properties.
- Its Alberta-BC resident offer: travel on a rail journey this year and receive a voucher to travel again within the next five years.
- It’s Canadian resident offer: Save up to $1,400 per couple on vacation packages of five days or more.
Even better, Rocky Mountaineer also has an incentive for Canadian travel agents – when an agent secures three new 2021 bookings on Rocky Mountaineer’s Canadian routes, they will earn a complimentary vacation package for their own travel on Rocky Mountaineer
