Famous for its year-round beauty, the summer calendar months are a particularly pleasant time to take a holiday in Canada. Temperatures during this time are generally mild to warm throughout the country with the west prairies hitting as high as 30 degrees. It does not matter if you are back packing, skiing, or just plan to stay at a resort, traveling by rail will enable you to make the most of your holiday.
VIA Rail Canada provides nineteen individual routes, crossing Victoria, British Columbia in the west, to Halifax, Nova Scotia in the east, all the way to Churchill, Manitoba in the north. VIA Rail covers 450 destinations across Canada. There is a strong chance that VIA Rail can conveniently take you to your destination, wherever you are headed. While one may well be too delighted by the rail experience to be overly concerned with time tables, VIA Rail extends relatively speedy travel. The Toronto-Vancouver route, for instance, offers station-to-station travel in four days.
Travelling by rail is a Canadian holiday in itself. With ample space in their observation cars, one can spend an entire day soaking up the scenery far off the beaten track of the highway. As for meals, food and beverage service is provided in the snack car or at your seat on short journeys. For longer journeys, VIA Rail features lavish dining in its fabulous dining cars. Three full meals are offered here, including a wine list. Just like an airline, VIA Rail has three classes of travel, economy class, business class and special sleeper class.
If you are in Canada for work, traveling by rail gives you the ability to work while you travel.
