Rail Only Highlights
Since the 19th century, traveling by Canadian passenger train has been a romantic way to explore every corner of this great country, from the crashing surf and rocky coves of
the Maritimes, to the rustic countryside of
Québec, from the glacier-capped majesty of the
Canadian Rockies to the coastal mountains and scenic fjords of the
west coast. Some of the most stunning views of remote mountain passes and lush alpine forests are only possible from a cozy rail car.
Via Rail tickets take advantage of different rail lines and routes, planning vacations that offer dramatic contrasts and combine the highlights of each unique region. Year-round, you have countless options to travel Canada the way you want, in luxury. Go from Atlantic to Pacific in a coast-to-coast tour, experiencing all the varied magic Canada offers. Take a Vancouver to Toronto tour, seeing two very special and very different cities, with all the magnificence in between. Or explore "La belle province" in a tour that takes you through the picturesque Gaspé countryside to historic Québec City and dynamic Montréal.
Each of the seasons offers a unique experience for a train traveler, with wildlife encounters of all sorts, from deer and moose to elusive predators like wolves, bears, and wolverines. From lush green, stunning wildflowers, rich autumn auburns and reds, to the peaceful white of snow and ice, Canada becomes almost a different world with each turn of the seasons. Each in it's own way represents the "true Canada", and each offers a rich new experience for your Canadian rail vacation.
