CANADA’S BEST WINDOW
Discover the people and places that make this country unique.
ARRIVE A WHOLE COUNTRY RICHER
The train is part of Canada’s history. No other mode of transportation allows you to experience the country so intimately. To celebrate Canada's 150th anniversary or for a stress-free journey where you can leisurely watch the countryside slip by from a spacious seat, there’s nothing like the train. Only the train allows you to meet and mingle so freely with your fellow passengers. No matter where you travel in this vast nation, the train will get you there efficiently, affordably, safely, and with unparalleled serenity.
