VIA Rail's The Canadian

“Imagine an adventure that begins the moment you board the train”

Leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind and glide through rugged lake country, stunning nature and picturesque towns to the snowy peaks of the majestic Rockies. And what better way to do it than onboard The Canadian, VIA Rail’s flagship train, on one of the world’s greatest train journeys from Toronto to Vancouver and vice versa.

This Canadian railway tour brings the country’s ever-changing landscape to you as you’ve never seen it before– and you’ll get to see it all from the comfort of your own seat. There are three ways to travel on The Canadian; no matter what class you travel in, you’re guaranteed to have a fabulous journey.
