Take an epic journey across all 10 provinces
As Canadians, we are blessed to live in a country so vast and diverse. But with our immense geography, how can we ever explore and experience all parts of this diverse nation?
There can’t be a more perfect option than a once in a lifetime expedition across Canada by rail. Canada’s transcontinental railway is an integral part of our nation’s history and an awesome feat of engineering. Completed in 1885, the railway connected Canada from coast to coast and fulfilled a condition of British Columbia’s entrance into confederation. With the interior lands of the West now easily accessible, the population exploded, giving rise to the nation we know today.
Mile Zero Tours, a locally owned and operated tour company, offers the Epic Canadian Rail Journey — a 16-day, deluxe guided tour departing from Victoria in May 2019. The tour escorts travelers on the scenic rail journey across the continent. This trip includes five nights in a private Sleeper Plus Class accommodations aboard VIA Rail.
Traveling by rail allows guests to witness the dramatic change in scenery — from snow covered mountain peaks to endless prairie, from bustling cities to farmers’ fields, and finally to the rugged shores of the East Coast.
However, you won’t just be watching the scenery from your window. Stopovers have been included in four provinces where you will experience Canada’s quintessential destinations and many hidden gems. Also included are many unforgettable experiences such as cruising into the mist of Niagara Falls and visiting one of the world’s most famous lighthouses at Peggy’s Cove, and much more.
Getting to the East Coast is just the beginning, as Mile Zero Tours offers the option to extend your stay with the 10-day Magical Maritimes tour in June. This exciting tour begins in Halifax and includes New Brunswick, PEI and the beautiful Cape Breton Island.
Marvel at the Bay of Fundy and the world’s highest tides, visit the birthplace of Confederation and experience panoramic views along the stunning Cabot Trail.
There is still one province left, and the 12-day Discover Newfoundland and Labrador tour is the perfect conclusion to this ultimate Canadian experience. Enjoy an iceberg and whale watching cruise, visit the world-famous Viking settlement of L’Anse Aux Meadows, explore the lively streets of St. John’s and tour the spectacular Gros Morne National Park.
