Experience Canada’s breathtaking scenery and cosmopolitan cities. Sophisticated cities in the south, wilderness parks in the north, the salt-sea spray of a wide open ocean to the west, and the snow-cloaked peaks of the mighty Rocky Mountains in the east are just the beginning.
Board the train specially built for maximum sightseeing enjoyment on a magnificent journey through majestic Rocky Mountains. Travel along the Icefields Parkway to Lake Louise.
Stroll along the Stanley Park seawall and be privy to magnificent mountain, ocean, forest and city view. Hold your breath on Capilano Suspension Bridge for thrilling canyon views 70 m below. Enjoy the spring bloom in the world-renowned Butchart Gardens with hundreds of thousands of bulbs and a vast variety of flowering trees and shrubs.
Enjoy a whale watching boat tour and catch the thrilling sight of Orcas, pods of which make their home in these Pacific waters. Snow melts and spring runoff invigorates thundering waterfalls throughout our journey.
The Inside Passage stretches natural wonders beyond your imagination. Enjoy shimmering glaciers, breaching whales, soaring eagles, stunning scenery, massive mountains and charming coastal towns and native villages. We’ll get very close to glaciers in the Inside Passage and we’ll watch as they calve and break apart, dropping huge chunks of ice into the water.
