This cross-country train adventure across Canada begins in Toronto and ends in Vancouver. Cosmopolitan Toronto, the largest city in Canada, hosts world-class shopping and many spectacular sights. Start your vacation in Toronto and head to Niagara Falls, where you take a Maid of the Mist cruise and enjoy up-close views of Niagara Falls from river level. Then board VIA Rail's The Canadian - a premier continental train - and head west for three nights. The next three days and nights are spent in first-class refurbished art deco rail cars. Observe unparalleled views of Canada's countryside as you journey through Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta, including stops in Winnipeg and Edmonton. After passing through the majestic Canadian Rockies to Jasper, the rail portion of this journey ends. Spend two nights and free time in Jasper. Then board an air-conditioned motorcoach to Banff National Park. On your way to Banff, take a thrilling ride aboard an Ice Explorer on the Columbia Icefield, the largest expanse of ice in the Canadian Rockies.

In Banff, you have time to relax, hike, or join an optional activity, such as a helicopter ride over the Canadian Rockies or a gondola ride up Sulphur Mountain. Stop in Lake Louise and discover this world-famous location with its cold waters reflecting the surrounding mountains and glaciers. Travel through Yoho and Glacier National Parks before arriving at the cattle-ranching center of Kamloops. Follow the Fraser River to your final destination, Vancouver. Your trip ends in Vancouver with a city sightseeing tour of Vancouver's sights, including Stanley Park, Gastown, and Chinatown.
