How to Get the Offer

To take advantage of this discount, follow these simple steps:

Select Your VIA Rail Journey

Visit the VIA Rail website to research your preferred destination and travel dates.

One of the most talked about trips involves travelling through the Rocky Mountains. With observation decks, you’ll have the chance to see Canadian beauty at its finest with the snow-capped mountains right outside your window. This route is known as The Canadian and it’s a transcontinental journey that runs from Toronto to Vancouver, spanning over 4,000 kilometres. It follows the historic Canadian Pacific Railway route. Fun fact: The Canadian launched in 1955 by the Canadian Pacific Railway and it has remained a symbol of cross-country travel.

You can continue travelling west beyond Vancouver with the ferry to Victoria. For more information, click here.

Meanwhile, in central Canada, the busiest and most popular route for Via Rail is the Quebec City-Windsor Corridor, which connects major cities like Quebec City, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, and Windsor. This route has always played a huge role in trade and travel for Canadians and continues to do so today.
