Program Highlight†Enjoy the serenity of travel by rail as you spend three full days unplugged from the outside world, with the beauty of the Canadian wilderness unfolding before you.

Relax at leisure within your private Prestige Class stateroom—providing 50% more living space than other class cabins—featuring a picture window that's 60% larger than standard cabin windows, a leather couch by day that transforms into a comfortable double bed with luxury linens by night, heated floors and walls, private en suite bathroom with shower, flat screen TV with video selection, and turndown service.

Prestige Class amenities also include personalized concierge service, priority seating in the dining car, and complimentary snacks and drinks in the Park Car 24-hours a day.

Awake each day to majestic, panoramic views outside your cabin's picture window. Inside The Canadian, many amenities await you among the first-class, art deco style cars, with abundant leisure time to enjoy them all.

From your stateroom, or from seats in the Prestige Park lounge and dome cars, admire the vastness and diversity of Canada—starting in Vancouver, traversing across five provinces (including expansive prairies and the Canadian Rockies)—and ending in Toronto.

Savor the best in Canadian cuisine with a selection of local and regional specialties prepared by onboard chefs and served on the dining car’s elegant china. Three-course lunches and five-course dinners include specialties like Veal Chop with Cajun Spices, Canadian Lake Trout, and Pan-Seared Duck, served with complimentary beer or wine.

Learn about the landscape, history, and people of Canada's provinces through onboard lectures and presentations.
