Fall in love with rail travel again with a luxurious, front-row seat to some of the most awe-inspiring countryside in North America.
Some journeys move you in more ways than one. Will you travel back in time through the legendary Spiral Tunnels on The First Passage to the West; take a Journey Through the Clouds past the Albreda Glacier and majestic Mount Robson; experience the Rockies’ remarkable variety of scenery en route from Rainforest to Gold Rush; or seek out one of the longer Rocky Mountaineer tours. Whichever you choose, award-winning service and luxurious reclining seats will soothe body and soul while your hosts bring the route to life with fascinating stories, serve gourmet food, and you, inevitably, find yourself seduced by the sense of place that only this experience can provide.

Payments are being prioritised based on when the request was made, working in order from March 2020 onwards. We will always try to process refunds at the earliest opportunity, for requests before August our maximum timeframe is 120 days. As we are steadily reducing the maximum processing time for each new request, for refund requests made in August, we expect the maximum processing time to be 80 days, from the date the refund is requested. For those requesting a refund in September, we expect it to be processed within a maximum of 60 days, and then reduce to 30 days for refunds requested in October, before returning to normal levels.
To finalise the amendment, one of our customer advisors will phone you. We need to work through amend requests in departure date order so we can prioritise those with the most imminent travel plans, so you may have a longer wait than usual until we’re able to ring you back. We will help everyone that wants to move their holiday.
You can contact our team by emailing feedback.backhome@virginholidays.com to discuss options on unused portions of your holiday. If you need to contact our team about amending an existing holiday or requesting a refund please log in to manage my booking.
