Make Your Next Family Trip An Intergenerational Celebration

Posted: 10/18/2011

Magnificent scenery can be just part of the fun for the whole family on a train trip through Canada.

(NAPSI)—For one in five American families, multigenerational travel is the best way to go, according to the Travel Industry Association. To help it go well for your family, consider these tips:

• First, choose a trip that is accessible and enjoyable for everyone in your group.

• Next, plan your trip a long time in advance to be sure to get all households on board and schedules aligned.

• Enjoy regional cuisine and get a real taste of the area in which you’re traveling. The regional dishes of your destination may be a treat for the kids and stir happy memories for the older generation.

• Don’t forget your camera. When you get home, create an online or printed album of the pictures you took to help the whole family remember the fun.

• Finally, choose a destination that is rich in history and on many people’s “must see” list, such as the Rocky Mountains. One trip many families find delightful is a train ride through Western Canada and the majestic Canadian Rockies onboard Rocky Mountaineer’s new SilverLeaf service. Families can experience a journey through the wild beauty of Canada’s West in a single-level dome coach, boasting panoramic views, entertaining onboard commentary and delicious hot meal service at their seats.

Traveling on Rocky Mountaineer’s First Passage to the West rail journey between Vancouver, British Columbia and Banff, Alberta, guests will journey through some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world, including the Canadian Rocky Mountains, a recognized UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The partially domed SilverLeaf coach offers temperature-controlled comfort and boasts twice the viewing area of other coaches. Plus, it’s designed to let guests move around the coach and interact with other passengers without missing any of the scenery passing by. The seats can even rotate to accommodate groups of four and the trains are wheelchair accessible.

Delicious, hot meals for breakfast and lunch, along with engaging and friendly onboard attendants, can make this an experience to remember fondly.

The travel package includes overnight stays, with luggage delivered to the hotel and transfers to and from the train. Sightseeing, attractions, rental cars, meal plans, cruises and airline tickets can all be handled by Rocky Mountaineer’s reservations agents—making multigenerational travel easy and convenient.
