21 Luxury Train Journeys That Cost Less Than a European Tour

17. The Canadian: Canada's Transcontinental Icon

Beyond the Rocky Mountaineer's mountain focus, VIA Rail's "The Canadian" offers an epic transcontinental journey from Toronto to Vancouver. While not as overtly luxurious as Rovos Rail, its Prestige Class provides private cabins, personalized service, and gourmet dining, making it a comfortable, insightful journey. Its "secret" is the genuine immersion in Canada's vast landscapes, from boreal forests and prairies to the Rockies, offering a profound sense of scale and a unique connection to the country's diverse regions and a slower pace of discovery.
