The Ocean train - Holiday to Nova Scotia
The distinctive and charming Ocean train guides passengers on an unforgettable journey through some of Canada's most picturesque and awe-inspiring scenery on a holiday to Nova Scotia. Travelling from Quebec and exploring New Brunswick and Nova Scotia along the way, the journey terminates in Halifax. The Ocean was the first ever passenger train to travel from Halifax to Lévis in 1836 and it is, remarkably, Canada's longest operating train service. As the Ocean departs in the evening from Charny, you can watch the golden hues of the sunset transform lush farmlands as they drift by. The majestic sleeper train journeys throughout the night, greeting passengers with immense vistas upon awakening. The relaxed ambience and elegant environment of the Ocean train makes a holiday to Nova Scotia a truly extraordinary experience.
Discover the best of Canada on this truly epic journey from Vancouver to Halifax. Travelling on iconic trains across the entire continent of North America, the view outside your window changes every day, from the towering Rockies to the central plains, the great lakes and finally the rugged coastline of Nova Scotia.
