This epic adventure travels 2,765 miles between the iconic cities of Vancouver and Toronto, accompanied by constantly changing scenery.

Board the train backed by Vancouver’s glittering cityscape, and begin your journey past fierce rapids, through dense forests and over the rolling hills of Kamloops. Glide through rugged mountains and rich pastoral vistas, with fascinating stops like Edmonton and Saskatoon.

Pass countless sparkling lakes and lush provincial parks, before arriving in Toronto to admire the imposing skyline, complete with the impressive CN Tower. Although this rail journey can be taken in one go, we recommend breaking up the journey and exploring some of the fascinating cities in more depth along the way.
