Vancouver, British Columbia
SeasonApr-Oct (daylight-only, 2-3 day routes)
Canada's famous luxury daylight train: two- and three-day routes from Vancouver to Banff, Lake Louise and Jasper, travelling by day through the Fraser Canyon and the high Rockies and sleeping in hotels at night.
- First Passage to the West — Vancouver – Kamloops – Banff / Lake Louise, two days westbound or eastbound; the historic Kicking Horse Pass route.
- Journey through the Clouds — Vancouver – Kamloops – Jasper, two days; Pyramid Falls and Mount Robson, the tallest peak in the Canadian Rockies.
- Rainforest to Gold Rush — Vancouver – Whistler – Quesnel – Jasper, three days. Last ran in October 2026 and not operating in 2027 — the operator cites changes in the management of the tracks and calls the route's future uncertain.
