Welcome onboard one of the World’s Greatest Rail Journeys! This First Class Train across Canada has it all!
Watch this video before booking Via Rail’s “The Canadian” train from Toronto to Vancouver! On our journey through vast forests, over endless prairies, and up breathtaking mountain passes, we’ll cover nearly 3,000 miles over almost 100 hours!
The Canadian should be at the top of your travel bucket list. In this video, we’ll leave Toronto on Wednesday morning at 9:55 and arrive in Vancouver on Sunday morning. Along the way, we’ll travel in a First Class train car with every amenity you can imagine (and some First Class Luxuries to surprise you!).
Onboard the Prestige Class experience, we’ll have our own dedicated Concierge Team to take care of our every need, a HUGE bed with a massively comfortable mattress, and delicious food.
Our room is in the Park Car, right next to the unlimited premium, first class bar complete with snacks and other treats along our journey.
We even had the opportunity to get out and explore the area around Jasper in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, which also marked the start of one of the most visually stunning days we’ve ever experienced from the rails!
You’ll see the sights, the food, and gain insight into what it’s like to travel on this incredible First Class Train: The Canadian.

Thanks for your patience, Jetsetters! We've taken a few weeks away from publishing because we've been filming some MASSIVE videos (like this one). More to come…promise!
Thank you!
I want to know the cost of the trips that you feature help to budget and when it is the best time to take them.Thanks for all you do.Victoria 😅
Been watching @downielive too?
Beautiful scenery! Love that you do a full train tour, show your meals and tell how they taste. The price is an added bonus!
It was not Mount Robson you saw coming into Jasper, it was Mount Edith Cavell. You're welcome. 🙂
I definitely appreciate when you share the prices. Even though they can become outdated, it gives us a good idea of what to expect. Thank you!!
Sharing to everyone of Jesus Christ, He is coming back. We are spiritually saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ our Lord God and Savior.
thank u for bringing us along❣️
Yes, prices should be included
Those meals looked horrendous. Prison camp portions of rice!
I've done this trip…but not in prestige… maybe need to do that one of these days….
Yes, to including prices.
Great to know what’s realistic when building the bucket list.
My mom and I got on this train in Edmonton in the 2 person sleeper car. We walked past you and I waved, my mom was like do you know them? 😂thanks for waving back and saying hi!
Stunning scenery, would love to do it.😊
Wow you're in Canada
From UK 🇬🇧, did this in 2004 for our silver wedding anniversary, truly amazing holiday,you have to do it folks.
this is a luxury train not for 99% of people living in Canada..
Absolutely wonderful content.. I Love how adorable you are with each other, and how you both appreciate the beauty surrounding you.
Classic VIA delays into Winnipeg! Glad you committed to coming back tho!
That sure was a pretty good 4 day train trip. All those cars were like having a hotel on train wheels. The mountains close to the Rocky’s were sure spectacular. Also, the Toronto train station looks like Chicago’s union station, on it’s interior a little bit.
Many enjoyable things to see and a couple of surprises that I did not expect, low patronage and only a twice weekly service! I rode part of the Canadian route way back in the 1970's, and also rode the train to CHURCHILL, which a suggest that you do, if you haven't already done so. I left the train in Edmonton and took a bus to WHITEHORSE to travel on the White Pass and Yukon, which was highly scenic. Also the Alaska Railroad. . . . another fine travel experience!
