Your itinerary is personalized to suit your dreams and needs:
Spring in Canada is beautiful! Experience two of Canada's most iconic trains as you travel from Toronto to Vancouver. Admire lush forests, snowy mountain peaks, and beautiful gardens along the way. This season is also one of the best times for wildlife viewing as bears come out of hibernation.
Find out what is included in your trip and have all your questions answered. We are here to help.
Welcome to Toronto! The sights and sounds of Canada’s largest city welcome you as you arrive in the heart of downtown.
Spend a day enjoying the quaint and colorful neighborhoods of Toronto or visit world-famous Niagara Falls.
Board The Canadian train in Toronto and begin your transcontinental journey west. 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.
Jasper’s wide-open valleys are enticing to a variety of wildlife and are incredibly breathtaking. Spend the day exploring Jasper National Park on your style of tour.
Travel along the spine of the Rockies, on one of the most beautiful roads in the world — the Icefields Parkway — to picture-perfect Lake Louise.
For a good vacation, a varied pace is important and today you set the cadence. Relax, stroll around the lake, go to the spa, or ask us about getting out for an adventure like canoeing, horseback riding, hiking or climbing.
Fill your lungs with cool, fresh Rocky Mountain air and head out to explore Banff National Park in your chosen way.
All aboard! Settle in while the smell of breakfast wafts from the galley. A small jolt announces you are on your way — look forward to a day of spectacular scenery.
The exhilaration of your Canada train trip continues as you enjoy another day of great food, excellent service and incredible scenery. Arrive in Vancouver late this afternoon.
Much too soon, you leave the fresh air and mountain peaks of Canada to journey home.

These are examples of the places you can stay on this trip. Please get in touch to discuss your options and to check availability.
Conveniently located in downtown Banff, the Elk and Avenue Hotel combines Banff’s alpine history with a sleek modern design. After a day of exploring, unwind in the hotel’s jacuzzi or dry sauna, then enjoy fresh Canadian cuisine at the on-site restaurant.
Located in Banff National Park, the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise is surrounded by soaring mountain peaks, a sparkling turquoise lake, and the impressive Victoria Glacier. Explore the area’s outstanding beauty on horseback, or paddle on the lake in a canoe.
With its unique location atop Canada Place, the Pan Pacific Vancouver rises high above the cruise ship terminal and the Convention Centre. The hotel offers luxury accommodation in the heart of downtown.
Here are some of the most popular ways to personalize this journey.
Add a night or two to explore the old-world charm of Victoria, on Vancouver Island. Visit the famed Butchart Gardens, go whale watching, or explore the seafront parks and museums. We recommend a stay at the Fairmont Empress - Victoria's stately crown jewel. Photo credit: Destination BC
Prestige Class is a luxury experience. Available on VIA Rail’s The Canadian Train between Vancouver and Toronto, this spacious double cabin includes a special concierge service throughout your journey. This is one of our most popular upgrade options.
Extend your stay in Banff or Jasper and explore more of the Canadian Rockies. There's so much to do here: lake cruises, guided canoeing, alpine hiking, food tours, gondola rides, and more!
For me, the cross-Canada trips are the perfect blend of diversion and relaxation. My favorite stretch is the descent from the Rockies' alpine forests into the panoramic vistas of the prairies.
