As anticipation builds for Rendez-vous Canada, a select group of travel agents from across the globe embarked on an exclusive journey aboard the Rocky Mountaineer. Starting their adventure in Vancouver, the group spent two days travelling in the opulent Gold Leaf service, soaking in the breathtaking vistas of Canada’s landscapes.
The train’s route, known for its stunning scenery, winds through lush forests, alongside glistening rivers, and beneath the imposing peaks of towering mountains. Travellers were treated to spectacular sights, including a glimpse of a bear, as they journeyed towards the heart of the Rocky Mountains. The journey included an overnight stay in Kamloops, followed by passage to the iconic Lake Louise, culminating in arrival at the awe-inspiring Banff—just in time to witness the ethereal northern lights.

The experience was further enriched by luxurious accommodations at the majestic Fairmont Banff Springs. With a range of activities to choose from, the group enjoyed a tour on electric bikes to Johnston Canyon and afternoon tea at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise before a final wrap up event with the Fairmont team.
