    I can't seem to see next years dates

    Price / Availability
    • TourlandOperatorWritten July 2026

      We are currently working on updating next year's tour schedule and pricing, which is why you can't see the 2027 departure dates on our website yet.

      If you're planning to book for next year, we'd be happy to prepare a quotation for you. Please let us know your preferred departure date, and we'll first check availability before providing you with a quote.

      I was looking at June 2027 dates. I'm looking for a tour like yours that leaves right at the start of June

    • TourlandOperatorWritten July 2026

      We are still working on Jun 2027 date, we are wondering do you have a specific departure date, or you are flexible, like any date in June 2027?

      Tracy

      TravelerWritten July 2026

      There is a previous tour we are looking at that ends 30th May and I was hoping for a Rockies tour that leaves close to that so 1st 2nd June?

    • TourlandOperatorWritten July 2026

      The train operates on a fixed schedule, so this tour is only available with departures on Mondays and Fridays. In 2027, May 31st is a Monday and June 4th is a Friday, therefore these are the only two available departure dates for this tour.

    • T

      Tracy

      TravelerWritten July 2026

      So double checking this tour may be departing on May 31st 2027. If so that would work out well

    • TourlandOperatorWritten July 2026

      Yes, this tour can depart on May 31st, 2027.

      How much does the sleeper class train upgrade cost?

      Our itinerary does not include the Calgary Stampede Evening Show. If the travelers wish to attend, they would need to make their own arrangements. The first day of the tour is dedicated to airport transfer and free time.

      The cost to upgrade to the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise is CAD 1,045 per night for a double room, including taxes.

      The cost to upgrade to a sleeper berth is currently CAD 560 per person, including taxes. Please note that berths may not be in the same carriage or on the same set of upper and lower bunks. Train fares fluctuate, so the final price will depend on the rate at the time of booking confirmation.
