About Great Rail Journeys' Canada Railway Holidays

If you have always dreamed of visiting Canada, we can think of no better way to see the country than on a train tour. We have over 30 years of experience in organising and escorting Canada railway holidays and we know all the best routes to take, the friendliest hotels to stay in and the most interesting sights to visit. Your Tour Manager will even know the best restaurants to eat at and will gladly recommend exciting things to see and do during your free time. We also aim to avoid travelling during busy times for commuters so that the journeys are pleasant and stress-free.

Canada railway holidays incorporate some remarkable destinations across the breadth of the country between the east and west coasts, taking you to some of the most famous landmarks and attractions. Visits to natural wonders like Niagara Falls and impressive sights such as Maligne Canyon in Jasper National Park are just some of the fascinating excursions that we include in our Canada railway holidays. When the train arrives at a city you can expect an enjoyable sightseeing tour with commentary to show you the main sights and let you get your bearings. There is generally free time in each city to explore at your own pace, perhaps browsing the shops, visiting museums or booking your own excursions such as city helicopter flights.

Those who have a penchant for trains will love the romance of travelling in the 1950's restored carriages of the Canadian, as well as the opportunity to follow historic routes such as the old Intercolonial Railway. However you need not possess an interest in trains to enjoy a Canada railway holiday. You will discover that the journey is as much an experience as the holiday itself, and as you sit back in your comfy seat you can let the glorious Canadian scenery wash over you. You will also get the opportunity to witness some spectacular views that would not otherwise be seen from other modes of transport. This is what makes our Canada railway holidays so special.

What's Included?

Included in the cost of our tours is your travel (including flights), all of your hotels and even overnight stays aboard sleeper trains.

Some meals are incorporated into the travel itineraries and at other times you are free to dine wherever the desire takes you, letting you sample the delicious Canadian cuisine.
