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.

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.

A truly professional organisation.

My wife and I have just returned from a holiday in the Canadian Rockies, designed and coordinated by Canada Rail Vacations. My initial enquiry about a vacation package on their website received an immediate response asking about our preferences - budget, duration, standard of hotels, excursions, etc. An ongoing dialogue via email allowed CRV to tailor a holiday which included all the towns/villages we wanted to see, some amazing hotels, exciting excursions, and at a very affordable price. (We had to exclude the dog-sledding on price and a snow-shoe trip based on our age !!). We were given all the information we needed, and payment was not required until shortly before departure. The itinerary included details of all hotels, daily activities, reservation codes, and clear directions to make our connections. A very late train to Vancouver taught us that VIA Rail's timetable was a guide only, but CRV did everything imaginable to guide us through the crisis, including paying for an extra night in our Jasper hotel. I am sure that CRV will attend to your vacation needs, showing the same dedication as they did with ours.

I would highly recommend Canada Rail Vacations and would certainly use them again when going to another area they service.

Jennifer organized a trip for myself, my husband, my daughter and her 4 children to Banff, Lake Louise, and Jasper. The transportation, accommodations, and tours were superb. We had a little rocky start on arrival with transportation to Calgary hotel but Jennifer went out of her way to take care of it immediately. I cannot say enough about the service we received. Everything else ran very smoothly and we thoroughly enjoyed our time spent there.

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!

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.

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!

Thanks again for a well planned and hassle free vacation. We will look forward to future vacations with Canada Rail Vacations

We wanted to thank Jasmine Wong and Canada Rail Vacations. for our great fly and self-drive vacation traveling to Banff, Lake Louise, Jasper, Edmonton & Drumheller AB from July 24th to August 1st. We had a great time. Good accommodation. Great venues - Banff Sulphur Mt. Gondola, Banff Hot Springs, Columbia Icefield excursion and Tyrell Museum. The weather was perfect, the scenery was breathtaking and the wildlife sightings in and around Jasper and Elk Island National Park were an extra special bonus. Thanks again for a well planned and hassle free vacation. We will look forward to future vacations with Canada Rail Vacations.

We had a fabulous time on our Canadian adventure!

We loved everything that was planned. The train trip to Montreal worked out really well, they kept bringing us food and drinks and the seats and views were great. Then we arrived and just had to go up the elevator to our hotel which was beautiful and had a wonderful view from our room. The food tour the next day was really fun- lots of good tastes and sights to see! All in all, the trip was fab so thanks again for all your help!
