Welcome to Toronto! Discover what lies behind the city's famous skyline. Visit the bustling St. Lawrence Market, see the CN Tower, and explore the city's many vibrant neighborhoods — there is no shortage of things to do.
VIA Rail - Depart Toronto
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.

VIA Rail - Canadian Prairies
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.

Explore Jasper National Park
Jasper’s wide-open valleys, magnificent mountains, and incredible wildlife are inspiring. Spend the day exploring this national park on your chosen tour.
