Montreal and Halifax

Independent Canada rail trip with an overnight VIA Rail journey

Railbookers operates this independent rail package running 6 days and 5 nights between two eastern Canadian cities. The trip starts with two nights in Montreal, the second largest city in Canada, where travelers discover its popular and historic sights on their own schedule. Travelers then board VIA Rail for an overnight journey the operator describes as especially picturesque and relaxing, arriving in Halifax for the final two days of the trip, a charming seaside city. Because it is independent rather than escorted, travelers explore each stop at their own pace rather than following a guide. It suits travelers who want a simple, two-stop introduction to long-distance rail travel, built around a single overnight train journey.
