As the train glides along the tracks, you’ll have ample time to perfect your “I’m a sophisticated traveler” pose, complete with a monocle and a top hat (optional, but it is highly frowned upon if you do not wear one). Check out the best five luxury train rides from around the world and prepare yourself for a journey that will leave you saying, “Move over, Orient Express, there’s a new level of swankiness in town!”

With panoramic views that’ll make your jaw drop faster than a hockey puck, this train unveils the stunning route between Vancouver and Banff, revealing Mother Nature’s grandest masterpiece.

No, my fellow adventurer, it’s time to go all out and treat yourself to this top-notch, two-night extravaganza. Allow yourself to be whisked away on this epic journey, where comfort, cuisine, and jaw-dropping vistas will have you saying in your best Canadian accent, “Who’d care a-boot staying in a palace when you have the Rocky Mountaineer, eh?”
