Combine two of the most amazing trips

Round the point and discover isolated, picturesque towns in the middle of nowhere. Or float up eerily still fjords and watch ice walls that loom over your ship like a frozen apartment block, and then suddenly calve away into the bay below with a thunderous creaking and cracking. When you add a cruise to your train adventure, you truly experience the natural wonder of Canada. We can personalize your Canadian vacation to suit you.
