Rail Fuel Surcharge
Due to oil prices hitting an all-time high, Rocky Mountaineer Vacations has implemented a fuel surcharge on all Rocky Mountaineer and Whistler Mountaineer bookings made on or after May 15, 2008.
The fuel surcharge is £15 per person for 2-day rail travel on the Rocky Mountaineer and £2.50 per person, per direction on the Whistler Mountaineer. For bookings prior to May 15, 2008 where a full payment or deposit was made, the fuel surcharge will be waived.
Rocky Mountaineer Vacations has worked hard to internally absorb the increase in oil prices over the past number of years. With the price of oil hitting all-time highs worldwide and no forecast of prices declining in the near future, we can no longer continue to absorb the additional cost.
