Guests who book any Rocky Mountaineer rail journey or package by May 31st will be treated to a free night at a Fairmont hotel in Vancouver.

In addition to this, guests who book GoldLeaf Service or an Escorted Rail Tours package before May 31st will get a free night at a Fairmont hotel in Vancouver and also receive a free round trip onboard the Whistler Mountaineer train which travels between Vancouver and Whistler - the host destination for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

The Whistler Mountaineer features an open-air Heritage Observation Car, offering unrestricted views of the landscape.

The GoldLeaf Service onboard the Rocky Mountaineer offers a unique experience; from the GoldLeaf Dome Coach featuring full-length windows for unparalleled panoramic views of rugged canyons, snow-capped mountains, shimmering lakes and icy glaciers to exquisite gourmet options in the GoldLeaf Dining Room, served by a host of talented onboard chefs who prepare gourmet meals from fresh local ingredients that celebrate the distinctive character of Western Canada.
