A train trip across Canada shows you the sheer scale and diversity of this vast nation. Sleep in your private cozy cabin, take in the views from the dome cars, and linger over tantalizing meals created from regional specialties.

The Skeena — the VIA Rail service that connects Jasper, Alberta to Prince Rupert, British Columbia — is another route in the rail system that allows one to see Canada by train. This is a two-day trip that takes passengers through some of Canada’s most breathtaking and varied landscapes. (The popular Skeena Skyline dome car has not been in service since 2020 and there are no updates about its return.)
A special add-on offered by Canadian Train allows travellers to enjoy a picturesque portion of this route out of Jasper. During this short day tour, passengers enjoy stunning views of pristine lakes, rushing rivers, and abundant wildlife before returning to Jasper.

Other reasons to cross Canada by train:

You're almost guaranteed to see wildlife– You might see moose in Ontario, antelope on the plains, or bighorn sheep in the Canadian Rockies. Sightings of deer and elk are also common in the mountains. And if you don’t see any of Canada’s Big 5 from the train’s viewing areas, it’s a good bet you’ll see our country’s famous mammals when you get to Banff or Jasper.
The excellent onboard service– Since this is train travel, there’s no need to rush through a meal. Breakfast and lunch are served onboard VIA Rail and Rocky Mountaineer trains. If you travel on The Canadian train, you can enjoy a three-course dinner. Choose between braised rack of lamb or citrus-glazed salmon, for example, paired with Canadian wine, and served atop a white tablecloth in the dining car.

Parts of Canada to Visit

For major stops along the cross-Canada route, you can request a four-day stopover in a destination — this is because The Canadian train (VIA Rail) only runs every four days.

No matter which trip you choose, you can bookend your train journey with bucket list experiences.

Consider this: you can kick off a once-in-a-lifetime Toronto to Vancouver train trip with a visit to Niagara Falls, a natural wonder, and end it with a day tour to Victoria and the beautiful Butchart Gardens. If you stop in Jasper, enjoy a boat trip on Maligne Lake, one of the world’s prettiest bodies of water.

1. Vancouver

Many cross-Canada train trips begin in Vancouver, the perfect jumping-off point for a tour. What makes Vancouver so unique is that it's a bustling city surrounded by natural wonders. Whether you prefer fine dining and shopping or kayaking and hiking, Vancouver has something to offer everyone.

3. Jasper

Many Canadian cross-country train trips include stops in Jasper, the site of Jasper National Park. If you're looking to get out of the city and connect with nature, Jasper is the place to do it. The town has plenty of opportunities for fishing, boating, wildlife viewing, and other outdoor activities.

“For me the best part was all the wildlife — elk, just walking down the street in Jasper,” effused Australian Hazel Prosser, who travelled from Toronto to Vancouver, with stops in Jasper, Lake Louise, and Banff along the way.

Service: VIA Rail
Connects: Jasper, Alberta to Prince Rupert, British Columbia
Time on train: 2 days with one night in a hotel

The Skeena is another route in the rail system that allows one to see Canada by train. This is a two-day trip that takes passengers through some of Canada’s most breathtaking and varied landscapes. (The popular Skeena Skyline dome car has not been in service since 2020 and there are no updates about its return.)
A special add-on offered by Canadian Train allows travellers to enjoy a picturesque portion of this route out of Jasper. During this short day tour, passengers enjoy stunning views of pristine lakes, rushing rivers, and abundant wildlife before returning to Jasper.

Other reasons to cross Canada by train:

You're almost guaranteed to see wildlife– You might see moose in Ontario, antelope on the plains, or bighorn sheep in the Canadian Rockies. Sightings of deer and elk are also common in the mountains. And if you don’t see any of Canada’s Big 5 from the train’s viewing areas, it’s a good bet you’ll see our country’s famous mammals when you get to Banff or Jasper.
The excellent onboard service– Since this is train travel, there’s no need to rush through a meal. Breakfast and lunch are served onboard VIA Rail and Rocky Mountaineer trains. If you travel on The Canadian train, you can enjoy a three-course dinner. Choose between braised rack of lamb or citrus-glazed salmon, for example, paired with Canadian wine, and served atop a white tablecloth in the dining car.

Parts of Canada to Visit

For major stops along the cross-Canada route, you can request a four-day stopover in a destination — this is because The Canadian train (VIA Rail) only runs every four days.

No matter which trip you choose, you can bookend your train journey with bucket list experiences.

Yes, a train ride across Canada is worth it for those who appreciate scenic landscapes, a relaxed pace, and a unique travel experience. The journey offers unparalleled views of the country's diverse geography, from the Rocky Mountains to the prairies and coastal regions. Additionally, the comfort and amenities provided, especially in higher classes, make it a luxurious and memorable trip.

\n","__typename":"FaqRecord"},{"id":"144190513","question":"How much does it cost for a train ride across Canada? ","answer":"

The cost of a train ride across Canada depends on the length of the tour and any upgrades you choose. Our recommended trips start at $4,380 to $15,390 per person for anywhere between 9 and 13 days of travel.

\n","__typename":"FaqRecord"},{"id":"144190515","question":"How long does it take to cross Canada by train?","answer":"

Without stops, it takes five to six days to cross Canada by train, if you go coast to coast. Travelling between Toronto and Vancouver takes four days.

\n","__typename":"FaqRecord"},{"id":"144190537","question":"What is the most scenic train across Canada?","answer":"

Several rail lines offer scenic routes across Canada, but one of the best is 'The Canadian,' which takes you through forests, fields and snow-capped mountains.

\n","__typename":"FaqRecord"},{"id":"144190539","question":"What is the best time of year to take a train across Canada?","answer":"

The best time of year for a cross-Canada train trip depends on what you want to see and what type of weather you prefer. Summer brings large crowds to many of Canada's tourist attractions, along with high temperatures, but it's a great time to swim, fish, canoe or take part in other activities on one of the country's many lakes and rivers. Late September and early October are ideal for travellers who want to see fall foliage at its peak. May is a good time to enjoy warmer weather without encountering the summer crowds. Winter in Canada is a unique experience with much to see and do, from holiday festivals to snow sports.

Other reasons to cross Canada by train:

You're almost guaranteed to see wildlife– You might see moose in Ontario, antelope on the plains, or bighorn sheep in the Canadian Rockies. Sightings of deer and elk are also common in the mountains. And if you don’t see any of Canada’s Big 5 from the train’s viewing areas, it’s a good bet you’ll see our country’s famous mammals when you get to Banff or Jasper.
The excellent onboard service– Since this is train travel, there’s no need to rush through a meal. Breakfast and lunch are served onboard VIA Rail and Rocky Mountaineer trains. If you travel on The Canadian train, you can enjoy a three-course dinner. Choose between braised rack of lamb or citrus-glazed salmon, for example, paired with Canadian wine, and served atop a white tablecloth in the dining car.

Other reasons to cross Canada by train:

You're almost guaranteed to see wildlife– You might see moose in Ontario, antelope on the plains, or bighorn sheep in the Canadian Rockies. Sightings of deer and elk are also common in the mountains. And if you don’t see any of Canada’s Big 5 from the train’s viewing areas, it’s a good bet you’ll see our country’s famous mammals when you get to Banff or Jasper.
The excellent onboard service– Since this is train travel, there’s no need to rush through a meal. Breakfast and lunch are served onboard VIA Rail and Rocky Mountaineer trains. If you travel on The Canadian train, you can enjoy a three-course dinner. Choose between braised rack of lamb or citrus-glazed salmon, for example, paired with Canadian wine, and served atop a white tablecloth in the dining car.
