Win! Don’t you love that word? Luxury! Don’t you love that word, too? You’re going to love this prize as well. As Rocky Mountaineer’s Blog Ambassador this season I’m thrilled to unveil (pause for drum roll …) an Ultimate Rocky Mountaineer Luxury Train Trip Contest sponsored by Rocky Mountaineer.

THE CONTEST IS OVER! SCROLL DOWN TO THE CONTEST ENTRY BOX TO SEE IF YOU’RE THE ONE. AND THANK YOU SO MUCH, EVERYONE, FOR ENTERING.

It’s a 2-day luxury rail trip through the Canadian Rockies. Whoot!

You could be here!

 

Sorry, global citizens – this contest is for Canadians only (but we do miss out on a lot of other contests, so please don’t begrudge us this one exciting thing). And er, you’re excluded, too, Quebec – sorry. If it were up to me …. but your rules are too confusing.

So for all the rest of you lovely Canadians, enter to win your luxury train trip through the Canadian Rockies with Rocky Mountaineer now!

What is included:

  • A 2-day Rocky Mountaineer rail trip in GoldLeaf service for two people in 2016!
  • Winner (that could be you!) has the choice of the Journey Through the Clouds (Vancouver to Jasper or vice versa) or First Passage to the West (Vancouver to Banff or vice versa).
  • Did I mention GoldLeaf Service? Shall I mention it again? GoldLeaf Service is the crème de la crème of the Rocky Mountaineer train options with a 2-level dome car, elegant dining room and outdoor viewing area. Oh, it’s deluxe.
  • Overnight accommodation in Kamloops.
  • Bevvies (local wines, anyone?), gourmet breakfasts and lunches and spectacular views. Did I mention the views?
  • Also included: plenty of local lore from your hosts. And sometimes cookies.
  • Possibly but not guaranteed to be included. A bear sighting!
