Discover Canada from coast to coast on the historic trans-Canadian railway. Experience five incredible rail journeys from coast to coast. Enjoy authentic local experiences along the way.
Find out what is included in your trip and have all your questions answered. We are here to help.
Welcome to Halifax, the largest port in Canada’s Maritime Provinces. Discover the blend of Acadian, Irish, and British history as you stroll the historic cobblestone streets.
Nova Scotia has a rich sea-faring history and rugged coastlines with fishing villages perched above the Atlantic Ocean. Enjoy exploring some of the province's scenic highlights.
Board The Ocean train in Halifax and travel across the rural landscapes of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Pass picturesque farmland, rivers, forests, and small towns near the Bay of Fundy and Chaleur Bay.
After following the shores of the St. Lawrence River, arrive in Quebec City early this morning. With a delicious coffee in hand, spend the day exploring Old Quebec's 17th-century fortifications and winding cobblestone streets.
Spend a full day discovering Quebec City's history, culture, and beautiful countryside.
Enjoy a picturesque train journey through Quebec’s countryside. Arrive in Montreal, the largest French-speaking city in North America.
Montreal is renowned for its European feel with its rich history, architecture and churches. Explore the city on your choice of tour.
The Corridor train carries you into the next province of Canada – Ontario.
You have the day to explore Toronto or venture out to see famous Niagara Falls.
Board The Canadian train in Toronto and begin your transcontinental journey west. Admire the views as you leave Canada's largest city behind and travel north into Ontario’s picturesque lake country.
Head west through the rugged landscape of the Canadian Shield and into the province of Manitoba. See ancient, exposed rock, boreal forest, and countless lakes. Keep an eye out for fishing cabins perched on tiny islands, as well as moose and bears.
Journey across the undulating plains of the Prairie provinces — Saskatchewan and Alberta. Fields of green and gold stretch endlessly under an immense blue sky. When you look out the window, spot rustic barns and small farming towns.
See the magnificent Rocky Mountains early this morning as you get close to Jasper. This laid-back mountain town lies in the heart of Jasper National Park.
Travel from Jasper to Lake Louise along the world-famous Icefields Parkway — one of the most scenic roads in North America.
Spend the morning admiring Lake Louise's turquoise waters and glacier-clad peaks. Relax, stroll by the lake, or browse the hotels' souvenir shops. Later on, a transfer takes you to the bustling mountain town of Banff.
Fill your lungs with cool, fresh Rockies air and head out for a day of exploration.
Board the Rocky Mountaineer train and begin your Canadian Rockies rail journey. Just sit back and admire the breathtaking beauty as you pass Banff and Yoho national parks.

From the snow capped mountain peaks to the vibrant lakes, dense forest, and alpine meadows you will not find a more diverse landscape with so much to offer! Skiing and hiking are just a couple of my favorite things; there is no other place I would rather call home.
