VIA Rail routes across Canada
The Canadian
Vancouver|Jasper|Toronto
VIA Rail’s flagship train, the ‘Canadian’, is a trans-continental rail journey to the majestic Rocky Mountains, the wide open prairies of central Canada, Northern Ontario’s Lake District and the city of Toronto. Step back in time to the days of classic rail travel, riding in the original steel ‘streamliner’ railcars made famous by the ‘Canadian’ in the 1950s. Each car has been lovingly restored with air conditioning, a dining car, lounge car, and dome car.
Class of Cabins
All berths and cabins include access to the business lounges in Vancouver or Toronto, a Bon Voyage onboard reception when departing Vancouver or Toronto, access to the glass domed viewing cars, cuisine prepared by the on-board chef and impeccable service. Let yourself be gently rocked by the peaceful rhythm of the train in a berth or cabin for one or two. You can explore your options below.
Semi Private Berth
The most economical option, Semi Private Berths feature two double seats that face each other. At night, these give way to two cozy, comfortable beds, each equipped with a reinforced privacy curtain. Washrooms and showers are located only a few metres away.
Private Cabin
VIA's Private Cabins feature two comfortable armchairs that at night collapse to make room for twin-sized upper and lower bunks. Instead of a curtain, cabins have a fully locking door, as well as their own private washroom. A shower is only a few metres down the hall.
