Easterly Class: named one of National Geographic's best!

VIA Rail is proud to announce that its Easterly class was chosen as one of the "100 Best vacations to enrich your life". In her book, published by National Geographic, writer Pam Grout praises: "This unique trip combines the best of luxury train travel... with the kind of educational component that travellers... expect from their vacations." Congratulations to the Easterly class crew!

Travel Canada, a country built on the rails!

Travel Canada from one great ocean to the other, from the barren icy terrains of the north to the busy urban centres to the south. No other country in the world can match the wonder, the thrills, the variety, and the majesty that Canada has to offer.

From the very beginning, with some of the earliest settlements in North America, Canada has spread across the continent to become the second-largest country on the globe, greatly due to the advent of the train. The rails that quickly spread over the territory not only eased long-distance travel, but also made it possible to explore other areas that are still today almost inaccessible by other means.

Discover what can only be found in Canada - travel by train and explore Canada the way it should be explored!

Atlantic Canada, specifically New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, is home to some of the most beautiful coastal scenery in the country. Enjoy the legendary hospitality of the people as you find yourself overwhelmed by both their history and their picturesque surroundings.

Just west of the Atlantic region are the provinces of Québec and Ontario, both of which are bustling with exciting urban centres and incredible natural parks. For more information about how to best spend your time in this region - the birthplace of Canada - click on some of the following:

Further west, next to the province of Ontario, are the two famous Prairie Provinces, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Find a vacation here that will not only be unique, but also completely Canadian. From the city of Winnipeg in Manitoba, travel north through the province to the town of Churchill, the polar bear country, near the shores of Hudson's Bay. Here you can experience what "winter" truly means, as you travel a terrain permanently covered in snow and take a tour through a polar bear breeding ground!

Finally, in the western part of the country, experience the adventures that Alberta and British Columbia have to offer. Here you can sail and swim in the waters of the Pacific Ocean, explore the vast forests of Vancouver Island, take an incredible Canadian Rockies tour into Jasper National Park, and venture into the cities of Vancouver, Prince Rupert, and Edmonton - all located within a few hours of each other.

Explore the country the way it was meant to be explored... by train!
