Find out what is included in your trip and have all your questions answered. We are here to help.
Travel from Calgary to the Canadian Rockies. From the very beginning, we take care to ensure that your vacation gets off to the best start. We’ve planned every detail — from your excursions to the best dining experiences. Start to explore Banff, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with the charm of a small mountain community.
Fill your lungs with fresh Rocky Mountain air and head out for a day of exploration in Banff National Park.
Travel along the spine of the Rockies on one of the most beautiful routes in the world — the Icefields Parkway.
Board The Canadian train in Jasper. Leave Jasper National Park, cross the continental divide, and travel through beautiful British Columbia. See mountain valleys and pristine forests — keep an eye out for Mount Robson, the Canadian Rockies' highest peak.
After travelling through BC’s Fraser Valley, your journey on board The Canadian train comes to an end. Arrive in coastal Vancouver — a spectacular city surrounded by mountains and the ocean.
Much too soon, you journey home — leaving the fresh air and mountains of Canada behind.

Banff Caribou Lodge and Spa is a short walk away from downtown Banff. Relax in one of the hotel’s cozy guest rooms, pamper yourself at the full-service spa, or rent a bike and explore the local area.
The Azur Legacy Collection Hotel is the only property in Western Canada to be part of the Leading Hotels of the World (LHW) portfolio. Situated in downtown Vancouver, the Art Deco-inspired hotel offers a boutique experience. Enjoy dinner at the garden-like rooftop restaurant or in the beautiful lobby lounge.
Nestled within Alberta’s magnificent Jasper National Park, the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge is surrounded by stunning mountain scenery and plenty of wildlife. Amenities include a heated outdoor pool, world-class golf course, and award-winning spa.
With its unique location atop Canada Place, the Pan Pacific Vancouver rises high above the cruise ship terminal and the Convention Centre. The hotel offers luxury accommodation in the heart of downtown.
Here are some of the most popular ways to personalize this journey.
Prestige Class is a luxury experience. Available on VIA Rail’s The Canadian Train between Vancouver and Toronto, this spacious double cabin includes a special concierge service throughout your journey. This is one of our most popular upgrade options.
Add a night or two to explore the old-world charm of Victoria, on Vancouver Island. Visit the famed Butchart Gardens, go whale watching, or explore the seafront parks and museums. We recommend a stay at the Fairmont Empress - Victoria's stately crown jewel. Photo credit: Destination BC
Did you know that you can see the Northern Lights in Canada during fall? Fly north from Vancouver or Calgary and land in prime aurora viewing territory. We’ll arrange it all! Your accommodations, guided lights viewing experience, dog carting, sightseeing, fishing, and more.
Exploring with friends and family is the best way to create lasting memories and reconnect. Organizing once-in-a-lifetime trips for families and small groups of friends is a particular passion for us. Ask us about how our itineraries can be customized to work for your group.
From the snow capped mountain peaks to the vibrant lakes, dense forest, and alpine meadows you will not find a more diverse landscape with so much to offer! Skiing and hiking are just a couple of my favorite things; there is no other place I would rather call home.
