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

Most Wonderful Trans-Canada Rail Trip

We found our experience with Canada Rail Vacations & Jennifer B in particular to be most wonderful for our Trans-Canada Rail Trip. All arrangements made by her were perfect, not a hitch anywhere. When I was in touch with her with concerns, she was very prompt in responding & resolving them. We really felt her customer service was so welcoming. We have talked to a few people since our return and have recommended your company to them.

They went above and beyond in every possible way

From the very first conversation to the moment we returned home, Alekh went above and beyond in every possible way. His attention to detail was remarkable—every transfer, reservation, and recommendation was thoughtfully planned and perfectly executed. Nothing felt overlooked, and that level of care gave us total peace of mind throughout our journey. What truly set this experience apart, though, was the genuine kindness and personal care he showed. Alekh took the time to understand what we wanted, anticipated needs we didn’t even know we had, and was always available with thoughtful guidance and quick solutions. It never felt transactional; it felt like someone was truly invested in making our trip unforgettable. Because of Alekh’s dedication, expertise, and heart, our trip went from “great” to absolutely perfect. We couldn’t recommend Alekh more highly—this is exactly the kind of travel professional who makes all the difference.

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!

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!

I don't know how I will ever thank you all at Canada Rail Vacations for everything you did for us and making a trip of a life time surpass our wildest expectations!

We LOVED Canada and look forward to coming back and doing the same route in the spring or autumn. In fact we would even consider doing it again in winter as it was so stunningly beautiful. After booking the trip and advising the date we wanted, I was very impressed with Karen's professionalism and prompt service, nothing was too much trouble. When we requested things from her, all the information given to us was accurate and up to date.

Thank you so much for a wonderful vacation that created memories for our lifetime! You did a great job!

Dale and I just returned from our "Ice Field Discovery" trip. Our vacation could not have been better! Everything was taken care of so we did not have to worry about anything! The train trip was a throw back in time to the 1950's and reminded me of the Zephyr that I rode as a child. Of course, there were many upgrades but the ambiance was so romantic! The bus trip from Jasper to Lake Louise was great. It was an intimate charter bus so we made friends with the other passengers. We made several stops on our journey for pictures and points of interest. Our driver was fantastic. Lake Louise and Banff were the highlights! Our hotel accommodations were upgraded so we got to stay in the "gold" area of the hotel. It was very special. Thank you Canada Rail Vacations so much for a wonderful vacation that created memories for our lifetime! You did a great job!

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 had a wonderful holiday in Eastern Canada

due largely to your efforts to put together such an amazing tour at very short notice for us. Our sincere thanks for both your hard work and your expertise. We are very grateful. You have helped make a dream come true for us both.

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.
