Touring Canada by train is one of the most elegant ways to see the country. Virtually all of Canada's major cities are connected by railroad and passenger rail travel is enjoying renewed popularity. From gourmet service in the Rocky Mountaineer's custom-designed GoldLeaf Dome Coach to a trip back to a gentler era on the vintage cars of the Royal Canadian Pacific, romance of the rails is alive and well in Canada.
Via Rail
Canada's national passenger rail service, VIA Rail, will carry you between most major Canadian cities in comfort. Choose from stylish sleeping cars, parlour coaches, bedrooms and roomettes. VIA rail also offers special rail passes and vacation packages.
Canrailpass & North American Rail Pass
VIA Rail offers two types of national rail passes. The Canrailpass gives you 12 days of unlimited rail travel in Canada. With the North American Rail Pass you can travel for 30 days, taking an unlimited number of trips on any VIA train in Canada and on almost any Amtrak train in the United States. For more information on rail passes, visit the VIA Rail website.
Scenic & Luxury Rail Tours
Return to the golden era of rail travel on a scenic rail tour to some of the most spectacular and inaccessible terrain in the world—from glacial peaks to roaring rivers. You'll savour the views from the panoramic dome cars, taste gourmet meals in first-class style and even board a fleet of luxuriously appointed 1920s-era rail cars, conveyor of royalty, presidents and prime ministers.
