The Great Canadian Train Ride

The Great Canadian Train Ride

For many decades, one of the 'must-do' holidays on every travelers list has been the legendary cross-Canada train trip, from Toronto to Vancouver, across the Dominion in vista-dome comfort. At Train Holidays, we have long believed that only one addition could make this idea better: Leisurely hotel stays in each great part of Canada along with intelligent, comprehensive sightseeing.

For those travelers to whom 'how' they get somewhere means as much as what they do, we offer up the most acclaimed train in North America, Via Rail's showcase 'Canadian' where all of our guests enjoy First Class sleeping car accommodations in 'Silver & Blue' class with all meals aboard included. Guests enjoy access to the splendid art deco dining car, the signature dome cars with all-around viewing and the famous 'Park Car' with its Bullet Lounge and Mural Bar.

As befits an elegant holiday, we have included some very stylish events 'ashore' as well, including dinner in Toronto at the chic Canyon Creek Grill, stylish a dinner at Le Beaujolais in Banff,and an indulgent two-day stay in Vancouver at the beautifully situated Hyatt Regency Hotel, an elegant luxury hotel of great style.

In the Rockies, our guests enjoy five days of sightseeing including Jasper, Banff and Lake Louise as well as seldom-visited places like Moraine Lake, Maligne Canyon and Bridal Veil Falls. All sightseeing is included.
