A stress-free way of exploring the diversity of Canada’s terrain and the beauty of its wildlife, experience this magical country from the comfort of a luxury railcar. The second biggest country in the world, sit back and relax as you’re transported in style through Canada’s ever-changing, endlessly fascinating, landscapes. Traversing Canada by rail allows you to pack so much more into your holiday, and to see sights inaccessible by road – of which there are many. Scale the sides of sky-high mountains, weave through steep canyons, glide alongside stretching prairie grasslands and shimmering alpine lakes. You’ll find jaw-dropping scenes wherever you look on a Canada rail holiday.
The Golden Age of rail travel
For many, Canada’s world-famous Rocky Mountaineer train is a bucket-list must. More than simply a train journey, witness Canada’s untamed wildernesses while you indulge in unparalleled five-star service, feast on gourmet cuisine and listen to fascinating commentary. Choose from three incredible routes, departing east from Vancouver or west from Banff or Lake Louise: First Passage to the West, Journey Through the Clouds, or Rainforest to Goldrush. Each rail journey offers majestic scenery and an exploration deep into the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Upgrade to the GoldLeaf service to savour panoramic views from the bi-level glass domed car and for the opportunity to spot grizzly bears and moose from the outdoor vestibule.
Another option is to take a cross-country adventure on Canada’s rail travel network, VIA Rail. Book a deluxe cabin and spend four days travelling between Vancouver and Toronto – through the provinces of Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. Enjoy the first-class dining car, stylish lounge and panoramic viewing car. Another fantastic multi centre holiday, the VIA Rail’s ‘Corridor’ service connects the dynamic eastern cities of Toronto, Ottawa, Montréal and Québec City. The ‘Ocean’ overnight service takes you from cosmopolitan Montréal to Halifax in Nova Scotia; the ‘Skeena’ service connects coastal rainforests of Prince Rupert with the Canadian Rockies in Jasper.
