Rail Tours in Canada

Welcome to the Great White North, land of some of the most spectacular scenery in the world, glamorous cities, and fantastic wildlife. In the vibrant and cosmopolitan city of Vancouver, you will find Stanley Park and its famous first-nation totem poles, as well as the stylish areas of Gastown and Chinatown. Toronto, the capital of Ontario, features the futuristic CN Tower that reveals a panorama of the city from its observation deck. You will find elegant Québec in French Canada, with its refined French architecture and picturesque Old Town. 

See the glorious wilds of the Rocky Mountains, venturing into Jasper National Park, filled with breathtaking snow-capped mountains, and tranquil lakes. Finally, there is the world famous Niagara Falls. The second largest falls in the world attracts as many as 12 million tourists every year, and sits directly on the border between Canada and the USA.   

North America's railways have come a long way since the days of the 'iron horses' that traversed the old Wild West. Modern, comfortable and fast railways create a network that reaches almost anywhere on the continent that a traveller might wish to visit.

On the Ocean service and The Canadian, guests are provided with their own fully-serviced cabin, complete with WC and armchairs that convert to comfortable beds at night. All cabins are tastefully-decorated.

The staff on board our trains serve complimentary drinks and snacks to your seat, and also provide a commentary on the landscapes as you pass through. A newspaper is available on some of our trains, which lists much of the flora and fauna that can be seen on the journey, as well as detailing any places of interest.

Canada is a very large country, and from North to South, the temperatures can differ wildly. Throughout the whole country, temperatures can be a bit extreme, with the temperature rising to 95 °F in the summer in the South, and plummeting to -4 °F in midwinter in the North.

When working out what clothes to take, consider where you are going and in what season. At any time of year in the north, it is best to take warm clothes. In the south, warm clothes are necessary for the winter, but in summer it isn't unusual to go out in light clothing.
