All along the journey, appreciate the Gaspé traditional hospitality.

Sleeping cars: real comfort!

As a passenger in Comfort sleeper class, you have exclusive use of the sleeping car, a haven of peace and comfort. Choose between a berth and a single, double (with upper and lower berths), or triple bedroom.

A roomy, welcoming armchair awaits you. A huge window lets you admire the region's hills, forests and picturesque villages. At night, you will sleep in a cosy bed, with a down duvet comforter for warmth. Just a few steps away are showers reserved for Comfort sleeper class passengers.

Dining car: guaranteed delights!

Think of the dining car as a small, friendly Art deco-style restaurant, where the chef prepares your meals. Morning, noon or night, the dining car will charm you with its down-home Maritime ambience, its elegant table setting, and its refined service. As the countryside flows by outside the windows, you'll be served delicious hot meals featuring regional specialities and seasonal delicacies. View our menus.

Please note that meals are not included in the cost of your fare.

Skyline car: your friendly coffee bar
