Another scenic journey is the Jasper to Prince Rupert. This two-day journey meanders through the incredible landscape of Jasper national park, the Rocky Mountains and Northern British Columbia before arriving in Prince Rupert on the Pacific coast. For these journeys it’s not only the varied scenery that keeps you glued to the windows, wildlife such as bears, moose and elk can often be seen from the train. For your adventure and wildlife enthusiasts you should also consider the service between Winnipeg and Churchill. This two-night journey takes passengers through the province of Manitoba north to the sub-arctic tundra and the small town of Churchill, famous for being the “polar bear capital of the world”.

On the east coast, perhaps recommend hopping on The Ocean. This travels between Montreal and Halifax, passing through the provinces of Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The one-night journey is perfect for those wanting to explore this unique area of Canada and is often combined with a self-drive adventure. Or, for city lovers, The Corridor service offers regular and frequent services that allow your customers to travel between some of the most popular cities in Canada with ease. These include Canada’s capital Ottawa, the French-Canadian cities of Montreal and Quebec, and the cosmopolitan city of Toronto. It’s an excellent alternative to a fly-drive holiday, and from 2023 there is a new fleet on this service meaning that journey times are reduced even further.
