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.

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.

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.

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.

The ENTIRE trip was seamless and went off without a hitch. I cannot say enough good things about Andre, our Senior Travel Designer, who helped us every step of the way.

To celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary, my wife and I just took the Canadian Rockies Rail Winter Escapades trip, with the VIA Rail Prestige class and upgraded Fairmont hotel options. First of all, he wanted to understand the purpose of our trip and if we had been to these locations before. He also ensured the hotels knew this was a celebration trip. He really wanted this to be a perfect trip for us. The trip was absolutely FANTASTIC! From start to finish, every detail, every adventure, every day! VIA Rail and the Fairmonts treated us very special. Thank you, Andre, for putting together such a special trip for us!!

From the overnight train to Jasper, through the ice fields to Lake Louise and on to Banff, the accommodations could not have been better. The Banff Springs Hotel was breathtaking.
