Canadian Train Adventure

7-Day Scenic Rail Journey from Vancouver to Toronto

Tour Overview

Scenic train journey through the Canadian Rockies – panoramic rail adventure across Canada

The Canadian Train Adventure is one of the world's great rail journeys. Board the legendary Via Rail "The Canadian" train in Vancouver and travel 4,466 km across the entire breadth of the country to arrive in Toronto — passing through the soaring Canadian Rockies, the vast prairies of Alberta and Saskatchewan, the rugged Canadian Shield of Ontario, and the dense boreal forest.

Travel in Prestige Class sleeper accommodation with private bedrooms, panoramic windows, and all meals served in the dining car. The train's Skyline dome car offers 360-degree views — perfect for watching the landscape transform from mountain to prairie to forest.

This is not just transport — it's a moving hotel experience through Canada's most spectacular scenery, with guided city tours at both Vancouver and Toronto.
