Rocky Mountaineer: GoldLeaf or SilverLeaf Service?
When planning your luxury train journey aboard Rocky Mountaineer, it’s important to choose the travel experiences that best meet your needs. Rocky Mountaineer offers two service levels: GoldLeaf and SilverLeaf. Both offer amazing scenery, world-class service, master storytellers and complimentary meals, beverages and snacks but there are a few differences between the two service levels.
Here, we outline the differences so you can choose the service level that’s right for you.
The differences between GoldLeaf and SilverLeaf Service
Rocky Mountaineer’s SilverLeaf Service
In SilverLeaf Service, your freshly-prepared meals, beverages and snacks are served at your seat and everything is located on one level. Two dedicated onboard Hosts will look after your every need in this incredibly roomy coach. These hosts are also great storytellers and will share the history and highlights of the regions you pass through during your journey.
If the views call you outside, or if you just want a breath of fresh air, SilverLeaf Service coaches have a small, more enclosed outdoor area that can be shared comfortably by one or two people at a time.

Rocky Mountaineer’s 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, Rocky Mountaineer’s bi-level GoldLeaf Service coaches stand taller than the single-level SilverLeaf Service coaches.
The upper level is where you can relax, stretch out in comfortable, reclining seats and enjoy complimentary beverages and snacks while one of four dedicated hosts shares stories about the areas the train passes through and serves you meals. On the lower level, you’ll find the GoldLeaf Service dining room, two bathrooms and a door leading to the outdoor viewing platform. Outside on the platform, you can take photos, enjoy conversations with fellow travellers and experience the sights, sounds and smells of the great outdoors.
