Four great options

During the night you say goodbye to the train and sleep in hotels. Before that happens, you start the adventure based on one of the four great routes available: Coastal Passage, Rainforest to Gold Rush, Journey Through the Clouds or First Passage of the West.

Coastal Passage is the one that takes you along the Pacific coast, so it is the most recommended for beach lovers. You start in Seattle, go through Vancouver, and end in Lake Louisse or Banff.

Rainforest to Gold Rush starts in Vancouver and takes you to Jasper, and this time, as its name suggests, the journey allows you to explore the Canadian rainforest, including highlights such as Fraser Canyon, Gold Pan City (Quensel) and the Cariboo Plateau Ranches.
