The Canadian (French: Le Canadien) is a 4,466 km (2,775 mi) passenger train route operated by VIA Rail Canada running between Toronto and Vancouver, with numerous intermediate stops including Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Jasper and Kamloops. The trip, which takes four days and nights, is the longest passenger train route in North America, and the second-longest in the world, and covers several distinct landscapes. It runs from the bustling Pacific city of Vancouver, into the lush Fraser Valley of British Columbia, across the Rocky Mountains, through the massive Canadian Shield, passing the open expanse of the prairies and Ontario's Lake Country, through the sprawling suburbs of the Greater Toronto area, before ending in Toronto's financial district.

Where to Stay

The most expensive option by far, a double bed that converts into an L shaped coach during the day, and a private washroom and shower. Based on double occupancy and including meals but excluding taxes, this cabin can cost over $6000 per person for the entire Toronto - Vancouver trip (2024). There are a variety of sleeping options in sleeper class. Pillows, sheets and blankets are provided for all. Reclining seats in a 2×2 configuration, with airline-style tray tables, 2× standard North American 120 VAC outlet and 2 USB outlets for each seat, and a leg rest stowed underneath. There is a washroom and luggage storage area at each end of the car as well as overhead storage for small bags above seats. Groups of four seats facing each other are offered to groups of 2-4. Passengers travelling alone are typically given two seats to themselves. There is a wheelchair tie-down and an accessible washroom at one end of the car.
