Rail Journeys
Exploring Canada by rail allows you sit back and relax and take in the stunning natural scenery whilst enjoying the delights of superb local cuisine before arriving at you next destination. Best of all someone else does all the driving for you.
With such stunning landscapes and so many new people to meet, train travel is never boring.
Choose from an array of legendary train journeys that cross the country from coast to coast all year around.
Such as the extensive VIA Rail network with its 19 routes across Canada operated by a fleet of fast, modern trains that allow you to travel in comfort and style.
Or for something more iconic try the Rocky Mountaineer which sets the benchmark for jaw dropping scenery! This train service has been voted one of the world’s best time and time again not only for its scenery but also for its onboard dining which should not be missed.
