ALL THE WAY ACROSS CANADA

The Rocky Mountaineer is not the only grand rail odyssey offered by Canadian Affair. For those who want to experience train travel in the country in detail, this specialist tour operator also serves up getaways which make use of Canada’s colossal VIA Rail network. These include a ten-day ‘Capital Experience Holiday’ which flits between Toronto, Ottawa, Quebec City and Montreal by domestic rail service – as well as a 15-day ‘Trans-Canada By Rail Holiday’ which rolls all the way west from Toronto to Jasper, then boards the Rocky Mountaineer for the descent down to Vancouver and the eternal waves of the Pacific Ocean. Both these breaks include return international flights from the UK.
