Rocky Mountaineer Vacations, has won top honour at the 2005 awards as the “World’s Leading Travel Experience By Train”. Other nominees in the category were: The Blue Train (South Africa), Rovos Rail (South Africa), Great Southern Railway (Australia), Orient Express Ltd (United Kingdom), Orient Express (Peru) and Palace on Wheels (India).

Over 2,000 people attended the gala ceremony at London’s Royal Opera House where the 12th Annual World Travel Awards event was held.
