Preparing To Go
Preparing For Your Trip
Prepare for your Rocky Train Vacation with clear guidance to ensure a smooth and enjoyable journey. This section provides practical tips, essential reminders, and recommended preparations for exploring the stunning landscapes of the American Southwest. From packing considerations to travel logistics, these insights help guests travel confidently and focus on the unforgettable scenery, luxury rail experience, and curated excursions that await.
Review Your Travel Documents
Three to four weeks before your trip starts, you will receive a Travel Documents Package by email. Be sure to download the PDF and save it in an easily accessible location for your journey. The email will be titled:
Rocky Train Vacations – Travel Documents
Your Travel Documents include everything needed for a seamless rail vacation, such as your detailed daily itinerary, hotel confirmations where applicable, tour and transfer vouchers where required, train confirmations, and additional important information to support your trip.
What's Included in your Travel Documents?
This section outlines the key elements of your Travel Documents and how they are organized, including day-to-day itineraries, hotel confirmations, train confirmations, and any supporting materials needed for included activities. Reviewing these documents in advance helps ensure a seamless journey. For convenience, it is recommended to print a copy and save a digital version on your mobile device so important information is always accessible, even when service is limited.
General Information
When you open your Travel Documents Package, the first item you’ll see is a Welcome Letter. This letter provides guidance on how to prepare for your journey and make the most of your Rocky Train Vacation. For a smooth experience, it is recommended to keep a printed copy of your Travel Documents with you throughout the trip, along with a saved copy on your mobile device.
Since some portions of the rail routes may pass through areas without phone service, having both a physical and digital copy ensures you always have access to essential trip information.
Following the Welcome Letter, you’ll find a page of links to helpful resources on our website. These links provide information relevant both before departure and during travel, including details about your rail journey, the destinations you will visit, and tips to help you enjoy your experience.
The package also outlines the best ways to contact Rocky Train Vacations (a division of Canada Rail Vacations Inc.) before your departure and while traveling, ensuring you receive timely assistance whenever needed.
The Travel Details and Travel Itinerary section contains all the essential information needed to complete your trip.
At the top, you will find the basic details of your reservation as well as confirmation and reference numbers that may be helpful in completing your trip.
Below, the day-by-day itinerary outlines your journey, including hotel names and number of nights, scheduled items/activities, important notes such as pick-up times and locations, and corresponding Voucher Codes.

Ideal for mature travelers and retirees, coverage ensures peace of mind so you can focus on enjoying luxury rail travel, curated sightseeing, and immersive experiences throughout your journey.
What is Travel Insurance?
Travel insurance provides coverage for certain costs and losses that may occur during travel. Unexpected events such as illness, accidents, or missed flights can result in significant out-of-pocket expenses, and coverage helps protect the value of a trip while providing peace of mind.
Plans can be purchased online or by phone by providing basic trip details and selecting the option that best fits the itinerary. In the event of a covered loss, claims may be submitted with supporting documentation, and eligible expenses may be reimbursed according to the terms of the policy.
Travel Insurance with Travel Guard®
Travel Guard plans typically include trip cancellation, interruption, and delay protection, emergency medical coverage and evacuation services, and lost or delayed baggage coverage. Optional enhancements can be added for specific travel needs, including Cruise and Tour Protector, Enhanced Benefits Upgrade, and Golf Protector for loss or damage to golf equipment. All plans include 24-hour travel and emergency assistance services. Support may include coordination of medical care, locating lost luggage, arranging missed connections, and other travel logistics to maintain a seamless luxury experience.
What's Covered?
Many travel insurance plans include a core set of coverages. Most Travel Guard plans provide protection for trip cancellation, trip interruption, trip delay, lost luggage, and emergency medical expenses.
Additional coverages can be added to suit specific travel needs. Options include Golf Protector for loss, theft, or damage to golf equipment, Enhanced Benefits Upgrade coverage, Cruise and Tour Protector coverage, and more. Selecting the right coverage depends on the type of trip and planned activities, including luxury excursions, high-value personal items, or extended multi-destination itineraries.
Most plans also include access to Travel Guard’s travel and emergency assistance services. These services support travelers during medical emergencies, last-minute flight changes, or other unexpected disruptions.

What's Not Covered?
Travel insurance coverage, limitations, and exclusions vary depending on the plan selected and the type of trip. Generally, non-refundable expenses, such as deposits, are covered, as these amounts are not reimbursed by the original travel supplier.
Travel insurance is intended for unforeseen events. If an event occurs before a policy is purchased, it is no longer considered unforeseen and may not be covered. For example, lost luggage must occur after the policy is in effect to be eligible for reimbursement. Plans can be customized with optional upgraded coverage to provide additional protection based on the specific travel itinerary, individual travel requirements, and any specialty or high-value activities included.
All travel insurance policies include exclusions and limitations, making it essential to review the policy of insurance document thoroughly prior to purchase. This document details coverage, terms, and exclusions, ensuring travelers understand the full scope of protection, potential limitations, and practical applications before and during the trip.
What If I Already Have Medical Insurance?
Even if existing health insurance is in place, coverage may be limited, particularly for international travel. Review your current health policy to confirm whether it provides the protection needed while traveling.
Most Travel Guard travel insurance plans include access to award-winning travel and emergency assistance services. These services are available year-round to support medical emergencies, unexpected travel disruptions, or logistical issues. Representatives can help coordinate medical appointments, secure replacement flights, or manage other unforeseen events, allowing travelers to navigate international or unfamiliar environments with confidence and peace of mind.

This extended route will continue from Moab to Salt Lake City, Utah, adding convenience and a seamless travel experience for guests looking to connect with a major international airport, which Moab currently lacks.
Whether short on time or planning an extended adventure, this flexible itinerary offers something for everyone. The original 2-day journey to Moab isn’t going anywhere. All tour packages featuring the classic route will still be available for those who want to spend a few days exploring the iconic red rock landscapes of Moab.
Onboard Experience, Refined
Along with the new name comes an update to the onboard experience branding:
- Canyon Spirit Signature Experience will replace SilverLeaf Service
- Premier Upgrade will replace SilverLeaf Plus Service
While the names are changing, the exceptional level of service, panoramic views, and storytelling-rich journey remain the same. This is a branding update only, aimed at better reflecting the tone and uniqueness of the American Southwest rail experience.
