Canadian Pacific Railway’s luxury rail service, Royal Canadian Pacific – based in Calgary, Alberta – has been chosen the world’s best luxury train service by over 167,000 registered travel agents and travel professionals.
Royal Canadian Pacific (RCP) has won the “World’s Leading Luxury Train” award at the 2006 World Travel Awards ceremony at the Turks & Caicos. The RCP received the award in a challenging competition with five other luxury train services. They were the following: The Blue Train (South Africa), The Eastern & Oriental Express (Asia), Pride of Africa-Rovos Rail (Africa), Palace on Wheels (India) and the Venice – Simplon Orient Express (Europe).
“This is world recognition of the exclusive train service provided by the Royal Canadian Pacific heritage fleet,” said RCP Director Mark Ramsay, who was in the Turks & Caicos to accept the award. “The award is the result of six years of effort by a dedicated team whose prime focus is on service excellence, professional staffing and guest satisfaction. Their attention to detail is evident in the sophisticated elegance of our restored vintage carriages. This recognition confirms us as world leaders in tourism and hospitality.”
Ramsay added, “this major award will certainly benefit Royal Canadian Pacific in making more people aware of our exclusive service, especially as we prepare to open our new world sales facility in Calgary.”
