Canadian Coast to Coast by Rail

We love Canada so much. This country has the loveliest people, vibrant, ever-changing cities and scenery that is really hard to beat. While we have other tours that zone in on particular areas, we wanted to create a ‘big one,’ one that packed in all the highlights, that combined the cities and the wilderness and what better way than to pack the whole country into one trip!

The rail system in Canada is phenomenal and cross-country rail is an incredibly relaxing and comfortable way to travel. So we took this, added an expert tour guide to accompany you along the way and added in as many incredible experiences as time allowed. You will gaze in wonder at the might of Niagara, discover the canals of Ottawa, travel through the amazing Columbia Icefields and feast upon the sumptuous fusion cuisine of Vancouver. 

Your dedicated seating on the train converts to a comfortable sleeping cabin for the three nights that we spend on the train, but otherwise, you will be staying in centrally located 3 and 4-star hotels. We have planned it all meticulously so that as soon as you arrive at your first hotel, you will be on a rollercoaster of sheer joy. 

Arriving at your first hotel in Montreal, we will take care of everything from then on as you coast across Canada exploring at every stage. From Montreal, you will head to Ottawa, then to Toronto and Niagara Falls. After this taster of the east coast, you settle down to two days of unbelievable scenery as we cross into the west where our first stop is dynamic Edmonton. From here we will head into the intense scenery of Banff and Jasper, before travelling through the Rockies to arrive at our final destination, Vancouver, where the tour comes to an end. 

With a blend of 3 and 4-star hotels, we have sourced comfortable, well-appointed hotels, chosen specifically for their incredible locations. These do not all apply to your onboard accommodation on the cross-country train, however.
