Quebec and the Canadian Maritimes Rail Journey

Independent rail trip from Montreal to Halifax with an overnight train

Railbookers runs Quebec and the Canadian Maritimes Rail Journey as a 7-day, 6-night independent rail vacation across three cities: Montreal, Quebec City, and Halifax, Nova Scotia. The trip begins with two days visiting the top attractions of Montreal, a city the description calls "historic" and "European-influenced," then continues with a full day in Quebec City. From there, travelers board VIA Rail for what the description calls "a scenic and relaxing overnight journey" to Halifax. The evidence available cuts off before describing the Halifax portion of the trip in detail. This trip suits independent travelers drawn to Canada's French-influenced east and an overnight train ride, who are comfortable planning their own days rather than following a guide.
