All Aboard for Luxury Rail Travel

Chicago Illinois USA - Specialty travel company Vacations By Rail is now accepting reservations for July and August 2013 departures aboard North America's premier luxury train, the Royal Canadian Pacific.
 
The Royal Canadian Pacific accommodates an intimate 32 guests on its journey from Calgary through the Canadian Rockies aboard refurbished Canadian Pacific Railway cars. Five and seven-day itineraries are available featuring visits to unique sites and destinations including Lake Louise, Revelstoke, Head Smashed in Buffalo Jump, Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, Cranbrook, Golden, and Banff as well as outstanding displays of nature including the Spiral Tunnels, Crowsnest Pass, and the Columbia Valley.
 
"This once-in-a-lifetime luxury train vacation places a distinct emphasis on the rail journey itself, the well-appointed rail cars and cabins, refurbished 1950's-era locomotives, thoughtful amenities, impeccable service, and historic rail routes," said Todd Powell, president of Vacations By Rail.
 
All Royal Canadian Pacific luxury rail tours include private airport transfer, welcome reception, first class hotel accommodations, luxury train accommodations in private staterooms, table d'hote meals, and open bar service aboard the train, evening turn-down service, and select off-train activities.
 
"The Royal Canadian Pacific is North America's only luxury train," said Powell. "Because of the intimate number of passengers the train can accommodate as well as the number of limited departures, demand is quite high and each departure does sell out quickly."
 
Luxury rail excursions start at $6,090 land-only, per person based on double occupancy.
