Glide Across Canada in Style

Flying from Toronto to Vancouver might only take 5 hours, but it also means missing out on the best that Canada has to offer. That's where The Canadian train really shines, weaving a route across the country, and treating passengers to the jaw-dropping landscapes in total comfort.

It takes around 86 hours for The Canadian to cover its whole route, passing through Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton, and Jasper, with the choice to hop off, spend a few days exploring, then hop on the next train to a new destination.

There really is no better way to appreciate Canada's size and diversity of landscapes than slowly gliding through it, letting the soothing cadence of the tracks liberate your mind from all things fast-paced.

Even the Canadian Shield, a dense boreal forest that covers about half the country, never gets old. There are lakes, prairies, and of course, the spectacle of the Rocky Mountains. You might even spot wolves and bears along the way, and the views from the panorama car during the twilight hours are simply breathtaking.

If you opt for Prestige Class, you’re in for a treat. Traveling in nostalgic yet luxurious cabins, you’ll see why this is sometimes referred to as the North American version of the Orient Express. The stylishly appointed cabins come fully equipped with a double bed, a bathroom, and even a television – though you’ll find that the latter is no match for the views outside.

We can arrange an incredible trip across Canada, stopping off at every destination that piques your interest. Just get in touch.
