Every Detail Covered From Start to Finish

The Best Way to See Canada, Coast to Coast

Whether you're seeking soft adventure or pure relaxation, our Canadian team is here to craft your ideal vacation, leaving you breathless, refreshed, and rekindled.

Two Trains, One Expansive Country

Canada is home to two trains: Rocky Mountaineer, which travels during daylight through the Rockies, and VIA Rail, which offers sleeper cabins and runs the full length of the country.

Soak Up the Slower Pace of Rail Travel

Whichever train you choose, enjoy the journey with glass-dome railcars, stunning scenery, chef-prepared meals, comfortable accommodations, and impeccable service.

Experience the Wild West Coast of Canada

With iconic cities, incredible wildlife, and remote yet easily accessible wilderness lodges, pair your rail journey with grizzly bear viewing, whale watching, or a luxury stay in nature.

Stand in Awe of the Canadian Rockies

Home to the tallest peaks in the Rocky Mountains, glacial lakes, icefields, and starry skies, a trip to Jasper, Banff, and Lake Louise is not to be missed. This is Canada in a postcard.

Watch Landscapes Unfold Before You

Continuing across Canada, travel through the expansive fields and endless skies of the prairies to Toronto's buzzing streets and Montreal & Quebec City's French culture.

Explore Canada's Storied Atlantic Coast

Arrive by rail to Nova Scotia and extend the journey to New Brunswick, Newfoundland, and PEI. Out here, the locals feel like family and the seafood comes freshly caught.

What Our Fellow Travelers Have to Say

Our walking tour guides in both cities were exceptional

Andre was a terrific advisor, and we loved the hotels in both Montreal and Quebec City. I must add that our walking tour guides in both cities were exceptional - lots of knowledge, patience, and humor. Thanks, Canada Rail Vacations and Andre Duque!

A Bucket List dream come true!

We did the "Rail & Drive Across Canada" with you & it was wonderful. All accommodations were top notch, tours were above our expectations & the train ride was neat. We were so excited & privileged to see the Norther Lights in Jasper! A "Bucket List" dream come true!

We literally were transported into a snow globe!

Thank you so much, Andre, for putting together an incredible 6-day adventure across the Rockies for us! We had hoped for a white Christmas, and we literally were transported into a snow globe! Andre was also very accommodating in giving us updates and recommendations for each place we visited. Even though our journey to Lake Louise was longer than expected, we still enjoyed our travels. Thank you again, Andre, for planning this for us!

My husband and I just returned from a wonderful trip to Eastern Canada.

We travelled from Toronto (visiting Niagara Falls) to Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City. We could not have been more pleased with the trip that was planned by Canada Rail Vacations. The travel agents are professional and helped us plan a wonderful trip. Their selection of hotels was ideal. The train travelling from Province to Province was such a great way to travel. Thank you to all of the agents made this a very memorable trip.

From start to finish it was an ideal trip for us to enjoy Canada scenery, atmosphere and hospitality

We would like to express our appreciation for a wonderful trip arranged through Jules M, Canada Rail Vacations. . We were afforded the right amount of activity for the trip yet relaxing. The suggested route from Calgary to Jasper was just spectacular. The hotels we stayed in are in town. And of course the train ride is A plus. Again Thank you.

When we turned off, there were all these trees covered in snow. It was like a Christmas tree fairyland.

I failed to mention how much we liked the hotel in Calgary. What a beautiful building. Our view out the window was the tower. What a treat when it started changing colors at night. It was snowing pretty good. So coming from Texas in the summer it was really special, almost magical. We did not get to see the lake he thought was so pretty cause it was too cloudy, but seeing the snow and trees it did not matter.

When we go back in future to Canada we will contact you again. Will recommend Canada Rail Vacations!

We are back again from a wonderful trip in the Rockies. Everything was great! The Fairmont hotels we loved it. We had wonderful rooms in each hotel, the bus transfers very good arranged. We enjoyed our trips - snowshoeing, ice canyon walk, sleigh-ride, is was all fantastic! I was happily surprised with the informative travel documents with the lonely planet guide that we received on arrival in the Banff Springs hotel. So we want to thank you and your colleagues very much for arranging this wonderful trip for us! When we go back in future to Canada we will contact you again. Will recommend your company!

We know everything will be arranged and we will be looked after.

I would like to highly commend travel agent Alekh Singh for putting together a customized, detailed itinerary for both East and West Canada. We are not young, my husband has mobility issues, and we are on a tight budget, but Alekh made it work. He was super prompt in the communication from Vancouver to Melbourne, very patient with all my extra requests, and went above and beyond in ensuring all our needs & wants were accommodated for. He even checked with hotels re mobility and threw in some extra bonuses. I cannot speak highly enough of his efficient service and especially of his kindness, care, and attention to individual detail, something quite rare these days. We know everything will be arranged and we will be looked after - thanks to Alekh and Canada Rail.

Everything that you and the team at Canada Rail Vacationa organised for us was top class

Everything that you and the team at Canada Rail Vacations organised for us was top class. From day one we felt comfortable that everything was going to be special. From the driver that met us at Seattle Airport, to the staff at Alexis hotel, everyone made us feel welcome. The Via Rail trip was great and once we picked up the vehicle in Jasper we could not believe that the sights of the Rockies could get any better, but they did!
