What is the difference between the Rocky Mountaineer’s GoldLeaf Service and SilverLeaf Service?
Both offer amazing scenery, world-class service, master storytellers, and complimentary meals, beverages and snacks.

SilverLeaf Service:

SilverLeaf Service coaches offer a generous amount of space for you to stand, stretch or look at the view from the over-sized windows.
Freshly prepared meals, beverages and snacks are served at your seat, and everything is located on one level. SilverLeaf Service coaches have a small, enclosed outdoor area that can be shared comfortably by one or two people at a time.

GoldLeaf Service:

With a dining room and an outdoor viewing platform on the lower level, plus spacious, reclining seats and full-dome windows on the upper level, the bi-level, GoldLeaf Service coaches stand taller than our single-level SilverLeaf Service coaches. The upper level is where you can relax, stretch out in comfortable, reclining seats and enjoy beverages and snacks. The GoldLeaf Service coaches have an elevator and an outdoor viewing platform.
