Life Aboard the Train
On Via Rail Canada's Canadian, you will experience
luxury, you will relax, eat delicious meals and
you'll meet interesting new friends. For some people,
this can be a very rewarding and life changing experience
that you will only find on the train.
You
will not be bored - far from it. There are activities
in the Skyline car and plenty of interesting scenery
that never seems to lose its appeal as you travel.
As you explore the cars and enjoy coffee and snacks,
you are then left with the great task of relaxing,
unwinding and decompressing.
There are plenty of interesting people and you're
sure to make a friend or two. You will meet people
from all walks of life. It was sure gratifying to
see people from all over the world coming to enjoy
the Canadian landscape as only Via Rail Canada can
show you.
A typical day will find you waking up in your comfortable
bed, taking a hot shower and making your way to
breakfast in the dining car. You have a choice of
three meals plus the chef's special. At breakfast,
you make your lunch and supper 
reservations
- there are three sittings for each meal. As you
walk back through the train, you’ll find that
you can't decide whether to nap, to read, to go
to the dome cars and look around or to play games
with a newfound friend.
The train will make a station stop, as it does
in Capreol, Sioux Lookout, Winnipeg, Saskatoon (at
night), Edmonton, Jasper, and Kamloops (at night).
So you have a chance to wander a little and check
out these interesting places where the train stops.
Winnipeg and Jasper are particularly interesting.
Once
you're finished your supper, you can take in a movie
in the Skyline car or simply relax in the lounge
area. When you're ready to retire, Via will rock
you gently to sleep.
By the time the train reaches Vancouver, you're
almost sad to leave but a new adventure awaits!
