Great Canadian Rail Adventure

13-day escorted rail tour through western Canada on Via Rail's Canadian and Skeena trains

Railway Adventures operates the Great Canadian Rail Adventure, a 13-day escorted tour through western Canada aboard two of the world's few remaining classic streamliner trains. Departing from Vancouver, the tour travels on Via Rail's Canadian and Skeena trains, which still run their original Budd-built passenger cars from the 1950s. The journey takes you through the Rocky Mountains, past heritage railways, and into small communities and major cities across British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan before concluding in Parksville. Fully escorted by Trains & Travel International, the tour combines rail travel with ground stops to explore off-the-beaten-path places and world-known destinations. This trip appeals to train enthusiasts seeking to ride these rare streamliners, travellers interested in remote Canadian landscapes, and those who value guided experiences that go beyond standard tourism routes.
