Overview
‘The Epic Journey’ between Toronto and Vancouver.
Please note we will tailor-make your entire holiday. This train journey needs to be packaged up with flights and accommodation. Please ask us for a suggested itinerary.
See Canada by train: the VIA rail train on its 4-day rail journey across Canada traversing the forests of Ontario, the rocky outcrops of the Canadian Shield, through to the flat lands and prairies. The VIA Rail train stops among other places at Winnipeg in the Prairies and Jasper in the Canadian Rockies.
You are allowed two free stopovers (in Sleeper Plus class) along the route: more are available but have to be paid for. We recommend the VIA Rail Sleeper Plus Class, where accommodation is either in semi-private berths or private cabins. Meals are included and you can use the Park and Skyline Car on the train with the wrap around windows to ensure the best view as you travel across Canada. Or treat yourself to Prestige Class with luxurious accommodation and a personal concierge.
This has to be one of the most relaxing ways to see Canada.
This journey will be part of your longer tailor-made holiday of your choice; including flights, accommodation in Toronto, Vancouver and and other areas. Talk to one of our experts about how to make this holiday the perfect one for you.
