Via Rail's all-inclusive vacations from Vancouver: see mountains, lakes, and grizzly bears
You can travel all the way to the East Coast!
A person on a train. Right: The Canadian Rockies.
An all-inclusive vacation from Vancouver doesn't have to include an international flight. Via Rail offers several holidays from Vancouver to incredible destinations like the Canadian Rockies.
Via Rail has six all-inclusive vacation packages you can choose from and each one looks like a dreamy escape.
The Alpine Canadian Train to the Rockies package includes six days and five nights and highlights the best of the Rocky Mountains. You'll travel from Vancouver to Jasper and see so much natural beauty at Lake Louise, and Banff, before ending the journey in Calgary.
If you've ever dreamt of seeing grizzly bears in the wild, opt for the 12-day Grizzly Bears & the Canadian Rockies Train Vacation. You can choose between visiting Victoria or Whistler before being whisked away to a remote floating lodge in Glendale Cove, home to one of the largest concentrations of grizzly bears in B.C.
Finally, this trip will take you to the Rocky Mountains where you will participate in several activities, including wildlife tours and a cowboy cookout.
The Canadian Prestige package will take you beyond B.C. and Alberta. This Via Rail trip begins in Vancouver and takes you through the Canadian Rockies before taking you through Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The seven-day ride ends in Toronto.
If you've always wanted to do a cross-Canada trip, going by train is an option with the Across Canada by Train package.
This all-inclusive deal will take you from the West Coast to the East in 14 days. The website description says travellers enjoy first-class accommodations, delicious meals, and access to exclusive lounge cars. This tour begins in Vancouver and travels to the Rocky Mountains. You'll also visit Niagara Falls, Montreal, Quebec City and end in Halifax.
There's also a Canadian Rockies Discovery Eastbound package which includes parts of B.C. and Alberta as well as the Rocky Mountain Adventure trip.
These packages range from $2,399 to $9,930 per person and are up to 14 days long.
Depending on the all-inclusive package you choose, hotels, national park fees, flights, meals, activities and more are included in the cost.
