Rail and River Cruise Highlights
Ride the rails through the glacier-capped majesty of the
Canadian Rockies, over the golden
prairies to exciting
Toronto, where you will begin a luxury river cruise of the St. Lawrence. Explore the original gateway to the New World as you gently sail to the cities & towns along the river, tour sites rich with history and hospitality. Discover relics of Canada's colonial past in forts and villages preserved and restored, with period costumes and re-enactments of daily life. Then enjoy the lively urban romance of Montréal and unique "old world" charm of
