Grand Eastern Canadian Rail Journey

Independent rail journey across five Eastern Canadian cities to Halifax

Railbookers operates Grand Eastern Canadian Rail Journey, an 11-day, 10-night independent rail package connecting five cities across Eastern Canada. As an independent trip rather than an escorted tour, Railbookers arranges the rail travel between stops while travelers set their own pace at each city. The journey begins with two nights in Toronto, Canada's largest city, including a day trip to nearby Niagara Falls. From Toronto, travelers board the train for two nights in Ottawa, the nation's capital. The route then continues northeast by train to Montreal and Quebec City, cities the operator describes as a blend of old-world character, before the trip finishes in Halifax, Nova Scotia. This package suits travelers who want to see a wide stretch of Eastern Canada by train, from a major city and a national capital to French-influenced Quebec and the Atlantic coast, without a guide leading each day.

What to know before you look closer

  • The operator's description does not include a day-by-day itinerary and cuts off mid-sentence while describing Montreal and Quebec City; it does not describe Halifax at all. Confirm the number of nights in each city and the final legs of the route with Railbookers before booking.
