- Welcome onboard one of the World’s Greatest Rail Journeys! This First Class Train across Canada has it all!
Watch this video before booking Via Rail’s “The Canadian” train from Toronto to Vancouver! On our journey through vast forests, over endless prairies, and up breathtaking mountain passes, we’ll cover nearly 3,000 miles over almost 100 hours!
The Canadian should be at the top of your travel bucket list. In this video, we’ll leave Toronto on Wednesday morning at 9:55 and arrive in Vancouver on Sunday morning. Along the way, we’ll travel in a First Class train car with every amenity you can imagine (and some First Class Luxuries to surprise you!).
Onboard the Prestige Class experience, we’ll have our own dedicated Concierge Team to take care of our every need, a HUGE bed with a massively comfortable mattress, and delicious food.
Our room is in the Park Car, right next to the unlimited premium, first class bar complete with snacks and other treats along our journey.
We even had the opportunity to get out and explore the area around Jasper in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, which also marked the start of one of the most visually stunning days we’ve ever experienced from the rails!
You’ll see the sights, the food, and gain insight into what it’s like to travel on this incredible First Class Train: The Canadian.

Thanks for your patience, Jetsetters! We've taken a few weeks away from publishing because we've been filming some MASSIVE videos (like this one). More to come...promise!
I'm hoping on it!
Including the pricing really helps.
Thanks. I Unsubscribed for that very reason
Wow 4500 per person ouch
We wondered where you guys had been. Great video again. Yes adding the price is a great addition to your info. Once again thanks for giving us something to look forward to.
Yes, definitely include prices! I just watched your SF-to-Chicago video. It was great to see the range of prices for different levels of luxury. I especially liked that you posted prices for solo travelers.
I think including prices is good since it helps those wanting to go on these kinds of trips know what kind of budget they will be working with. Though, for people like me, I’m here for the adventure and views. I can’t really afford these kinds of trips, so going on an adventure vicariously through you has been fantastic!
You could fly to Europe and back including 7 days of sightseeing for less than this
@@stevep9740 So? If it's not what you want to do with your time...
Agreed. A price breakdown on all your videos would be greatly appreciated.
@@bryanbaker274 Agreed
You should expect to pay around 10,000 CAD for a Prestige Cabin about 9 months out on the full Toronto-Vancouver route.
Since you ask, YES, please do consider adding basic cost information to your videos! Even a ballpark figure, if the prices are subject to frequent change, would be appreciated, because it's certainly a time-saver (and a dream-saver, for those of us thinking long-term) to have at least some idea to base realistic plans upon. Knowing at the start that the trip is something you simply can't afford right now still lets you watch with pleasure while you add the trip to a bucket list!
$4000- $5000
Yes, basic cost information is appreciated! Lois
@@edkrstic6423ummm…for 4 days?
Yes I agree, a ball park
are you not able to look things up on your own?
It’s a wonderful trip, I’ve done this trip at least 10 times decades ago when I was in my 20’s. I lived in Ontario then hopped on the train to move to Vancouver. I’m thrilled it’s back in motion.
An American couple was driving through Canada. At one point they became lost but saw a gas station up ahead. As they pulled into the station the wife told the husband to go inside and ask the clerk where they were. He did so, and the clerk replied, “Saskatoon Saskatchewan”. Upon returning to the car the wife asked her husband what he had found out. Her husband replied, “He doesn’t speak English”.
Welcome to syberia
I have to say as an American Woman, that was funny & true as heck. You made me laugh on that one. Thank you. Blessings
🤣🤣🤣
😂
Lol
As a Canadian I’m very proud to say we have a stunning country
As an Earthling I'm proud to say we have have stunning land all over the Planet.
As a Human I would say Canada is a total sham
Not enough done for tourism
Nature wise anyway…
@@JonathanRogler Right. Canada is a corporation. There is technically no such thing as A Country. Borders do not exist in nature
An American here. Really enjoyed your video. I’ve never been to Canada but you provided some of the most beautiful countrysides I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing.
As a Canadian, I thank you for making me prouder of my country and my home province of Ontario. I have crossed the country by vehicle a couple of times. Your trip is on my bucket list!
Same! As a Maritimer that lives in BC now, I've driven from coast to coast a few times
You asked if you should include the price of the trips in your videos and I think yes. It gives people an idea of what the trip budget will look like so they can start planning without having to look it all up first. 😊
Looking up prices is part of planning, once you undertand that prices vary greatly depending on so many factors.
@@martinc.720 I'm aware of that. However, there's no harm in making it easier for people.
@@elteescat That not making anything easier for others. Prices vary due to so many factors.
You want others to do research so you don't have to do it... not the same thing.
@@martinc.720 whatever you say.........
I just looked it up and it literally took two minutes to google. You are looking st six thousand and change CAD per person double occupancy in Prestige right now. Via prices and availability fluctuate throughout the day, so it is impossible to give a quote without knowing your dates.
I'm an American who has traveled extensively. Of all the countries I have visited, I can tell you I've never had a bad experience in Canada. They're such beautiful people. ❤
Canadian here . Are you sure you’ve got the right country ?
@@brutus4013 you must live in the GTA [greater toronto area] or vancouver, go to small cities or other cities in canada,i moved to ottawa 3 weeks ago and people have been great to me.
@@MehakSohi-jg3mx That's great . All the best .
@@brutus4013Always one! Was waiting for you to show up
@@CikisHelyzet Glad I didn't disappoint you . Sorry if the truth hurts . Canadians are great folks , but like every other country ,there has been a huge influx of people from around the world and the character of Canada has changed , not always for the better . It's Human nature that people bring with them their religious beliefs , their prejudices and all other good or bad qualities they may have . That just the way it is .
I've been blessed to have done this VIA train twice. Absolutely wonderful. Went off season, just as gorgeous. Better prices.
That’s wonderful!
Excellent! Out of curiosity, what would be off-season? I would think every season would be beautiful.
This video is among my favorites. You said it;; The pictures need to speak for themselves. No talk over, just fantastic pics. Thank you !
As a Canadian, I can’t begin to tell you how moved I was by this video. I was actually moved to tears at the end and felt so much pride for our country. Thanks for the great video.
Canada is beautiful.
We moved to Canada (from Palestine) 32 years ago... and i am always thankful that my parents chose Canada.. the best and most beautiful country in the world!
@@Jan96106 I'm not from Canada, but I agree. It is beautiful! And our host are good looking people as well.
Same here. Especially when the mountains came into view !
Must be wonderful to live in a country you can be proud of.
It’s so nice hearing an honest discussion of trip pricing. Too often these days you see vloggers saying oh hey we paid for this whole trip with 850,000 miles - but they never bother breaking down how much it is or how they got those miles in the first place
:) Referrals by their followers?
its 4900-6200 dollars
This trip has seat sales, you can get tickets (or use to) for 75% off. The lone seats use to be as cheap as $300. I paid $1275 for a bunk room and all the amenities. A deal hunter can find an affordable ticket
@@FrankBullitt390That’s so helpful! Thank you!
I did this trip (Vancouver to Montreal) “Third Class” in 1976….It was a mind-alteringly SPECTACULAR experience! The vistas between Vancouver and Alberta were jaw-dropping! The people, landscape and experiences will live with me forever…..
I moved to Virginia from Saskatoon 13yrs ago, I haven't been back to Canada since, this video really made me homesick. ❤
why?
Why Virginia of all places?
@@bxi1547Virginia is actually reasonably nice. I mean, I found their mountains underwhelming compared to the ones I'm used to in BC, but still nice. Coastal Virginia isn't bad to visit, either.
As an 80 year old Canadian I must say that your report of one of Canada’s proudest assets YOU DO US PROUD. There were several moments in your EXCELLENT (as always) video that it actually sent shivers of pride through my aging body. THANK YOU!
Wow, thank you!
Can anyone help me to come Canada 😢😢😢😢
Wasn't this railroad built by exploited Chinese workers?
Thís train no comeback Toronto ?
@@kimtrang7226sure but it's not a round trip.
However there are airports and you are hour from Seattle to Vancouver.
As a Canadian I sometimes forget how beathtaking this country is. I did this train ride when I was a kid with my granmother going to expo 86 and it is still one of my favorite trips ever. Mind you we didn't do it first class but it was still great. I would love to do it again as an adult.
I live just 30 minutes south of the boarder on the coast of Washington and I remember going to Expo 86 with my first husband’s family as teens and it was a blast!
You have some options to save money? Id go 2nd class…can’t find info
Can anyone help me to come Canada plz 😢😢😢😢😢
Wow! That must have been so much fun. You also took me aback as I haven't thought about an "Expo" in quite a while. Kinda wondered if they did them any more. My family drove to Canada when I was a little girl for Expo '67. I do wonder if they do them any more...
I did the trip across Canada with my mother when I was 6 and it was awesome! The porter made up our beds every night and I remember them as bunk beds. We just had open couches during the day
I just finished watching this spectacular video! My mom lived near Vancouver, BC for over years and I was up there many times to see the beautiful views. I was wondering how in the world you filmed all of this? Just spectacular! Thank you so much for taking us along!!
Jasper was a beautiful town and the architecture was just breathtakingly beautiful Canada always has so much beautiful architecture. Everything looks so clean and nice there.
As a Canadian, I have to say how much we appreciate your kind and generous comments about our beautiful country. I was born in Toronto, my husband from Saskatoon and two of our children live in Edmonton and Wainwright...all of which you mentioned in your video. In 2018, we crossed our country from Vancouver to Prince Edward Island and back and to see and experience the landscapes and cultures from west to east was memorable. Although you loved your journey, to experience our Provinces of Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes is definitely an adventure not to be missed. Thank you for such an amazing journey.
Me encanta su país, solo estuve 15 días, tratando de ir como dijo yo "sin rumbo fijo "
I would like to visit your country one day. My Dad has been, and others in my Karate class have travelled to Canada. All great ,memorable experiences and clean.
Canadian Pacific Hotels❤
Another proud Canadian here from PEI. Would so love to do that journey to Vancouver. I can only hope. Bet it was an amazing experience.
I don't think people understand how much work you put into filming, editing, and doing voiceover for this. Excellent job
Thank you so much!!
Amazing work, thank you
Including prices very helpful!
U should see what it takes to be motorbiking and videoing for solial media. This is a breeze, plug in charging WiFi. No rain, dust elements, what are u talking about??
@@user-qe1tv1bu2fdid you see any cell phone towers in the video? It's an issue in rural Canada and especially up north. Everyone loves the unspoiled beauty of the rugged countryside, but WiFi or internet service is going to be hard to come by. That's a long way to lay and burry cables and very sparsely populated. Cost benefit analysis. Satellite link is always possible and very expensive.
I love watching people experiencing luxurious things I’ll never be able to. Thanks for sharing!
Well ,save if you can and do it ,you only live once
As someone who currently lives in Alberta and is from Northern Ontario, the Rockies and the Canadian Shield are some of the most beautiful and rugged places in North American. Glad you enjoyed the trip, scenery and the experience. If you thought the VIA experience through the Rockies was something, wait till you take the Rocky Mountaineer to Banff, it will blow your mind.
Too bad its packed with tourists and you cant get in, theres nicer spots in alberta or BC imo
My husband was from Vancouver Island, and it was the most incredibly beautiful place I’ve ever visited. Imagine a sunny day sitting in a warm tide pool and looking at the ocean and snow capped mountains. Digging clams for dinner.
Thank you for showcasing the beauty of our country. It has inspired us to follow in your footsteps. And, yes, I do appreciate you providing us the fares for your journeys.
My wife and I just love watching you bring us these wonderful adventures. Thanks for the way you portrayed Canada - as Canadians, it made us proud. Definitely on our bucket list!
Ya they must have loved the invasion of Chinese that have succumbed Vancouver. Not much Canadians there since China took over😮
it always makes me chuckle when people expect Ontario to be boring. Our province is full of beautiful scenery, fresh water and friendly people. Glad you enjoyed:)
The train doesn't see the best of it , which for me is from SS.Marie to Thunder Bay.
😂😂 it is boring
It’s not that it’s boring, it’s that from about Perry Sound ( or sooner) it’s all the same. Beautiful but take a few good books. Even the mountains won’t hold your attention in 18 hour sunlight days.
@@octogirl2046 I'm guessing you're talking about the train. It takes the northern route through Cochrane and Kapiskasing. It's pretty bleak, but driving from Soo St Marie to Thunder Bay is world class beautiful if the weather's clear.
@@maplebones
I have done it:). Yes on the train.
Watching In my Home in Ireland thank you for sharing your fascinating journey through Canada I was amazed at the vastness and beauty of the country God Bless you both
Pushing 60 years. All as a Canadian, but have travelled all over NA & Europe with bits and pieces in Asia and SA.
I can honestly say we, as Canadians, are soooooo spoiled. Pristine wilderness, rare animals, big cities, oceans & wonderful people.
We may come off as passive aggressive to some people, but to the rest of the world, please feel free to visit. We've got something you'll love. If not, "sorry". 😊
As a canadian this is something I've always wanted to do. Hope you were able to enjoy Canada and our hospitality.
first you have to get 4500 us dollars or Canadian probably why you haven't
@@ThePlayer442 What? lol
@@ThePlayer442 Prestige Class is by far and above the most expensive ticket on that train. A berth will cost you less than a third of the Prestige ticket and still includes all those fabulous meals.
Highly recommend,
@@tedharrison4522 ok thanks
As a 33 year railroader, I've seen some of the most incredible country imaginable that is not accessible to any save the hardiest backpackers. I've been stalked by bobcats, inspected (too closely) by bears, and startled way too often by buzzworms (rattlesnakes.) I once had a coyote chase my motorcar, but he gave it up. This trip, depicted here, has been a joy to watch. I might talk my wife into making the same journey. Multiple thumbs up!!!
Yea well as long as you can afford US$86,000 for the 97 hour journey. They never mentioned the First class prices for the reasons it ain't cheap
@@michaelmarama-de4gx No, it starts at about $12,600 for 2.
Thank you for sharing!!❤
Wow! It’s expensive
Your experiences Sound wonderful! Keep enjoying life!
As a Canadian i had tears of joy watching your video 😢. Absolutely Beautiful 😍
The whole video is incridable but Day4 is absolutely headblowing. Thank you very much for not just enjoying it by yourself but making it affordable for all of us. I am under the deepest impression after watching theese unbelievable creations of nature. Thanks a lot
Autumn is the best time (if budget is not an issue) to do this type of train travel in Canada. Summer is all-green and wildfires, and the winter is majestic but will get boring also. The fall colours are a sight to behold here, especially when riding the trans Canadian railways.
I love going through the mountains in the winter. As a western Canadian, I have the luxury of having made the trip many times; I love the quiet and glow that goes along with those vistas in the winter.
do you recommend a specific month in Autumn?
@@rondaallen7211 this month, October. Early November is okay too, but mid-October would be a safer bet because surely most of the trees colours aren’t “summer green” anymore.
@@skiergirl4753 yeah winter looks magical as well. I like it too, I’m just picking Autumn because of the temperature, feels just about right for me. But yeah visually, winter looks stunning too 👍
@@jan_07 for sure! As I said, it is my home, so I have the luxury of knowing the area and what to expect (and, loving snow - I grew up in the Caribbean so relish every day of snow)
I lived in Toronto for 7 years and now I live in California. The scenery you showed is truly stunning! ❤
Watching this on Canada Day 2023. Canada is truly glorious and free and the most wonderful neighbor to the north we could ever hope to have. I've traveled from Vancouver and Victoria to Halifax - from sea to sea - and some of the best times and nicest people I ever met were in Canada.
Hardly free anymore
Thank you for taking all of your viewers along on this wonderful journey. As far as costs are concerned, please include them so we know how much such travels would be.
I'm just getting to know you and your adventures, and I can't wait for more! I've always been a rail enthusiast but haven't yet been able to head out on an overnight trip. Your videos, I'm sure, will change that! Many thanks, and please, keep on traveling!
the laid-back narration and dreamy visuals create such a zen vibe. thanks!
At the speed this World is moving at I think it would be safe to say that...'It is not the destination but the journey'...that Life is all about. Canada is a huge country but is filled with non-stop beauty and real human beings. After all isn't that what life is all about? Excellent video Jeb. You have one of the best jobs on the planet.
I love Canada. So many reasons to return:
Great outdoors, delicious food and drink, Northern lights in the Yukon, unforgettable wildlife, friendly locals, rich culture, driving and camping in its national parks...
Trudeau 😂😂😂😂😂
I was free and, by scrolls, found this video. When often I have free time prior to watching the train journeys and very nice, this video. I like it.
Glad you enjoyed it all and thanks for spreading the word. You know you're welcome back anytime!
Hello from Canada - Your videos make the world a better place by reminding us all of the magnificence of our world, warts and all. Cheers.
As a born and raised Canadian, I just want to say Thank You for showcasing our beautiful country ❤
I am a naturalized Canadian and I am sure glad I moved from the DSA. Beware of trolling Americans on these comments who want to turn Canada into a neo-fascist country because they cannot get total control of both of the borders.
canada's the best na country for sure
Thanks for touring us across Canada. The scenery is just so breathtaking. This video just made me want to visit Canada again.
I am glad you included the price of the trip. It gives one a sense of the value to cost. Great trip. Very interesting and worthwhile.
As an average European, currently struggling to spend vacations anywhere due to inflation and scorching rise of cost of living, your video almost brought tears to my eyes. What an amazing trip, what an amazing landscape! I've travelled through Europe a lot in the past, and I can say that few places can compare to this immense brute wilderness that Canada is, as everything is smaller, tighter and more connected around here. I wish I get to visit North America some day, till then, more uploads please!
If you are still young , you ll need to move to the new world
Just travel to Austria Alps or Allgäu in Germany, same nature.
I agree! I went on a trip from Vancouver to Calgary on Canadian mountaineer It was amazing. We did get off the train to sleep 😴 which was fine. We stopped in Kamloops and Lake Louise. Another night in Calgary before flying back to Vancouver. The meals and service was amazing. The people who worked on the train were very friendly and shared alot of info and history. Lots of wildlife and culture events. You just have to plan ahead. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I wanted to move there. Still might some day. 😊
@@didiss400 What is the new world ?
I live in North America, visited Canada many times, Europe too. I can’t wait to visit Europe again.
Yes, definitely include pricing. This helps others who are possibly planning a trip like this.
Watch the video, they do mentioned pricing
It is only... starting at $6222 Canadian per person 🤣This is something I will never experience.
I love your videos on train rides i always wanted to take the train across Canada. You make the videos so interesting and talk to your viewers like we are right there with you. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.
Y'all are the best! Thanks for sharing your journeys.
Am I the only one who watched it from the starting to the end? Well this one is so amazing and it shows how Beautiful Canada is when it comes to nature too, I wish France was having those beautiful mountains, thanks for the video and hope to see more
What?? France, no beautiful mountains?? "The Alps are the largest mountain chain in Europe, extending for almost 1,000km with a surface area of 35,000km² in France."
Don't sweat about France. Any where in Africa will blow your mind and your eyes. Trust me pal.
@@m.c.master4622
The person you replied to is a moron!!!
Another shill for Via Rail!!!
Wtf…don’t insult my intelligence by posting such an idiotic comment.
French Alps…wtf is wrong with you?
My family lives in the French Alps. Absolutely gorgeous!
My wife and I did this trip from Vancouver to Toronto in September of 2011. Great fall colors. This was back when ViaRail had great weekly specials that came out the same day each week. We were not in prestige class but we had a bedroom at 75% off. We paid $500 each rather than $2000 each. Great dream trip that we had talked about for a few years. I read those weekly emails for a few months before this one showed up and we jumped on it. Keep your eyes open. There are bargains out there!
They actually paid $4500 US 15:13...not $2000!!!!!
That is ridiculously expensive !!!
Thank you for bringing us along on this magnificent journey! Living vicariously through your lenses!❤
Yes, for all trips - please inform about the “fares” . Thank you. Love your videos
I work as an engineer on the Edmonton to Jasper Corridor for CN. The views never get old. It is truly magical. In fact, you were on the via that was stuck behind my slow train going into Jasper 🤣
You have a magical job that ‘pays you’ ! That’s magic.
I would love to take this train for a Wonderful adventure. Is it a requirement to be vaccinated in order to board?
Thank you
@@Ricksworld1962 I dont deal with Passenger very often, but as far as I'm aware, no you dont need to be vaccinated anymore to board!
@@RealParrotclaw
Thank you 🙏
Wow, I'm a bit jealous of your job!
You guys are so humble and so nice. First time I've seen your videos and just want to say thank you for allowing us to experience this journey with you.
Humble and insincere. How much do you think this trip costs? Way more than a round trip to the Caribbean and a premium cruise, that's for sure. Probably 5 of those. That's Canada
Seeing this well-produced video was an unexpected blessing. In the mid Twentieth Century,
my father used to work the CN
Toronto to Vancouver route in the summers to earn money for his college
education. Thank you.
My husband and I did Canadian Rockies in 2016, went up Jasper Mountain also Edith Cavell mountain so so beautiful, also went to Banff, lake Louise, our magical trip of a lifetime.
I seldom look at any picture and think "I want to be that guy" but the video photo of the guy lying in the spacious bed gazing out of the window and enjoying the view is absolute GOALS right now 👍
Including the cost is an excellent idea. This way others can plan and know what to expect. Also, maybe showing (telling) what hoops are needed to prepare for each trip. Love being invited on your adventures.
I love Canada! So beautiful and clean. Thanks for sharing!
INCREDIBLE! Got the chills from Jasper & the mountains! So glad yall enjoyed it!
I must say, I'm currently battling intensive depression and insomnia but you guys brought such joy and a smile to my face watching and it calmed me down.. keep on keeping it real!
I’m so very sorry. I hope you’ll feel better soon!
@GreenerGrass just like your name I see GreenerGrass in my future buddy! I'm just in a weird place.. I'm about to be 31 in 4days from now and I feel like I haven't done anything with my life. I had money but spent it, but then again that's what it's for. Pretty much just seeing how happy and satisfied you both were warmed my heart that there are still good people out there, enjoying life and it gives me hope to do the same
Depression is a dreadful thing, hope you soon get some help for your condition and watching these lovely videos is so uplifting. Sending you good wishes.
If you can get meds for the sleep you will immediately feel better.
@@zakinaab I am a drunk. I love respect your care
The train actually broke down at one point, but she fixed it with a gum wrapper, 2 paperclips, and a sock. Seriously though, what a great well done video; looks like a beautiful trip.
🤣
😂❤
This sounds like a vacation in and of itself rather than just traveling.
These views are spectacular. Riding the California Zephyr is top on my train trip list. I’m now adding this one too. Thank you for bringing us along.
Mentioning the prices is helpful as it helps others in their preparation/planning/decision-making. The journey is simply incredible even if the price is high.
Can we all just appreciate how hard jeb works for us and the hard time he works on his videos keep it up jeb lov ur content 😊👍❤️
You have to tell people to appreciate the videos they watch? lol
I appreciate all of Jeb's (and Suzanne's) effort, but I get the distinct sense that "if you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life" holds, it's not necessarily work.
(though of course, travel and the French for "to work" (travailler) have the same root word...)
In any event, the videos are much appreciated: easily the best travel youtuber out there.
We have done. This twice but in the Winter. Prestige Class westbound a few years ago. This January Sleeper Plus eastbound out of Vancouver to Jasper. Well worth the expense.
This sounds like an amazing trip. The last time I was on a cross country rail trip was in 1954 when I was 6. We were on our way from California all the way to New York City and then on by 4-prop air to Germany. I've loved trains and flying ever since. I was lucky enough to work on the Holland America Princess Denali trains as a Rail Guide last summer. If you haven't ridden that train, you really should add it to your list. My new goal is to ride a train in every US state that has one. I'll be adding this Canadian one to my bucket list as well. Adding the cost of the trip is very helpful so that I'll know how much I need to add into my travel budget.
Truly awesome and beautiful scenery that the two of you captured. Since we could never afford adventures of this magnitude, you have enabled us to basically come along with you and in a way dream that we are actually there. Thank you very much.
I apparently need to get out more … I broke into tears at 26:16 at the combination of the beauty and your choice of music. What a remarkable opportunity. You guys filmed, narrated and edited this with such excellence. Just a huge WOW! Thank you. From a mom stuck in the house in flat boring northeast Florida. 😊
I really enjoy you and Suzanne traveling together as a couple so much. You guys are honest , authentic, and always seem so grateful 👌🏾👌🏾
Thank you for the videos and bringing us along. The scenery was amazing and almost like we were there with you. I can only imagine the beauty in reality. A lot of us will only be able to experience these places and modes of travel through your videos. Thank you again. Keep up the good work.
I found it quite amusing when you said you had the furthest thing from local food when you had the ginger beef....Ginger beef was a recipe invented in Calgary Alberta in the 70s....so yes it was local food :D
It’s a magnificent journey. I did it last October in a sleeper plus single cabin and loved every minute. Whilst I missed out on some daylight I made up for it with the autumn colours. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.
Thank you for sharing these beautiful views of my beloved Canada.♥️🇨🇦
I am elderly now and have longed all my life to take a train across Canada. It was close to the real thing, with my imagination along for the ride. Thank you for this pleasure! (If I could only buy a bottle of that mountain air!)
I was teaching in Houston Tx. in the late 2000s and decided to make this trip during spring break. Due to the length of my break and wanting to spend 3 days in Vancouver, I started my trip in Winnipeg, Manitoba and travel to Vancouver. I was really impressed by this trip. The scenery in Jasper was unbelievable. It looked like postcard. The people I met on the train was very friendly. I learned a lot about Canada from the Canadians I met.
You took the trip alone? How safe did it feel for you?
@@rhondamoore3821 Very safe, the people was very friendly and helpful.
In 2017, I packed up my little car, and me, my son and my Maltese drove from Alaska to the Adirondacks in NY. It took us 5.5 days. What a beautiful trip!!! The plains were gorgeous! I'd love to take the train through Canada.
5 days from Alaska to NY? Were you speeding?
@@theone2be33 Through Canada, we went above the speed limit, of course. But we drove from 6-7am until sometimes midnight. We camped each night and didn't stop to be tourists. Stopped for gas and food. It would have taken much longer to drive to NY through the states.
Interesting and entertaining video. I used to travel the same route or most of the route back in the 60’s. Never stayed in the suite, usually having a bearth, but had the opportunity to visit the rooms and roomettes and every car except the engine with the conductor as my guide. Service in the 60’s was still old school, all meals on board were in the dining car, the bar car (with bartender) at the rear was for 1st and 2nd class and the dome seats were first come first serve. Back in the day passenger trains had priority, with freight moving onto sidings. In the 70’s things changed with a shift to freight being a priority over passenger service. The amenities and service also suffered. Eventually, the Rocky Mountaineer, a ‘luxury’ service was developed and later the Canadian was refurbished to a return to better service you present in your video. Winter trips across the prairies used to suffer aging infrastructure, with steam lines freezing. We’d have to pull over to a siding until they could be thawed out. Costs back then were less than flying, as long as you had a few days to travel.
Thanks for saying the price, helps give viewers an idea if it’s something they would or could try down the road.
Back in 1982 I took this train on its old route from Montreal to Vancouver with planned stops in Winnipeg and Calgary. I traveled solo, and it was a fantastic experience. It was a post high school graduation present for myself ( class of ‘81). It was a segment of a rail trip that started in Baltimore and ended in Spokane where I spent a week with my sister before flying back east. Would love to do this trip now.
Everything on the interior of the train must have changed drastically? What a beautiful ride. Will always be out of reach financially for me. But fortunately I get to live through other's vicariously.
I'm from the prairies and have been living in eastern ontario for four years now, and seeing the transition to the morning of day three made me cry a bit. Gorgeous! This is my spouse and my dream train trip and it was really a joy to see it through your eyes. Thank you.
💙💛👍🏻 Good luck 🍀
being a BC girl living in minnesota, it’s so fun to get to watch y’all’s trip. having driven through some of those places, it’s fun to see again.
Thank you for sharing your trip through Canada. Every minute if it was interesting--the accommodations, the food, and the scenery. I felt like I was on the trip with you. The mountains, lakes and towns were stunning and I'm sure to go back through the video and paint some of the majestic scenes.❤
This is one of the best videos I've seen on youtube. What amazing, documentary quality. Of course, the lovely subject matter helps! Such spectacular scenery.
This was simply wonderful. I can't even articulate how much I enjoyed it. 😂 Thank you for taking us with you.
Wow! Thanks so very much!
This takes me back to the 1980’s when my mom and I went on a trip via Amtrak to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the western United States. I think we were on the train for 2-3 weeks and could only afford economy seating and back then that was plenty comfortable as crime and opinions were not very strong yet. One of the most memorable and enjoyable experiences of my human experience. Your video makes me want to explore Canada more by train now.
Best of 2023.. I've always wanted to do that train trip across Canada.. At 80 my health doesn't allow me to travel.. But I felt like I made the trip!. Best ever!
I took the 3rd last ride on the Great Canadian. It didn't go up to Edmonton but went straight threw the Rockies... Trip of a lifetime!!
I just wanted to say that this was a great video! I really appreciate how you brought the audience in to share everything, your appreciation for great service and the heavenly created beauty you encountered and, frankly, your positive nature and the love you have for one another as a couple. Just great.
Amen to that. You two seem like you would be a great couple to travel with.
I grew up in Vancouver but had family in Calgary (where I live now). My family made the drive through the Rockies almost every year. It’s absolutely breathtaking.
My friend who lives in Vancouver also worked this train during the trip from Vancouver to Banff, and we made plans for me to drive and meet here there when she had a stay over before the next trip. Absolutely wonderful!
Beautiful train journey! Saw it from my recliner but it felt like I was there in Canada! Thank you for inviting me to travel with you!❤️😀
Canada is naturally beautiful country of the world and your Train tour so Nice
Your videos never fail to make me smile. Your enthusiasm radiates through the camera, been watching A LOT of your videos lately. A good fill for my travel bug, when travel isn't possible. Thanks Jeb!
Wow, thank you!
Of all the journeys that I’ve watched you both take over the time I followed your channel. This was by far one of my most favorite.. The way you articulate everything that Canada truly is resonates with me because I’m proud to be Canadian. Ontario is my backyard and we have so much to showcase so to have Susan and yourself speak so highly of us just makes me feel overwhelmed with joy. Thank you for joining us on the Canadian and we hope to see you again soon.
I wish I were this blessed to take these trips...love watching these videos.
I'm so glad you enjoyed your trip. You actually rode thru my little town of Rivers manitoba . Thank you fir posting this. I really enjoy your videos. Please do more lots of affection wess in canada ❤❤😊
