Four departures are available, in May, June, August and September 2023. The itinerary includes: two days on the Rocky Mountaineer with on-board breakfast, lunch and dinner; tours and visits to Yellowstone National Park, the Grand Canyon, Arches National Park, Bryce Canyon and Antelope Canyon; and two excursions to Navajo
Indian reservations.

and spectacular scenery. These are coupled with an exhilarating new two-day scenic train journey on the Rocky Mountaineer, which will be a spectacular experience for first-timers, as well as anyone who has enjoyed the Canadian version and is looking to travel again.
“With four vast US states covered and a unique combination of experiences you don’t get anywhere else, this is an adventure not to be missed.”
Riviera’s 2023 fares have been frozen to 31st July, to ensure everyone booking receives the lowest price by booking early. Guests are also protected by Riviera’s ‘price promise’, meaning if fares are reduced they will be refunded the difference.
