- 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.
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.
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.
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?
As a musician I’ve played on the VIA rail’s Entertainment On Board program a few times. The best gig ever. It is definitely some of my fondest memories ever.
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
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.
How long did you spend there and how much it cost you
That IS wonderful! I would l9ve to take that trip, in this manner!
Thank you for the excellent advice in this comment. You make reading comments on UA-cam well worth the aggravation I occasionally run into! We learn as much(at times), if not MORE, here in the comments, as in the video!
How much was it
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.
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.
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.
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
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
Even at normal class this is a great trip, you don’t need luxuary rooms go talk to fellow passengers and enjoy. Thank you Canada from an appreciate ‘Brit ‘.
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.
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 was IL 😢laying on my bed , joined with you on the four day ride.. helped me feel better. Beautiful country ❤
Same here laying down in German - sick as hell. Enjoyed the video very much. Made up my mind to save money. Can you bring a dog on the trip?
Did this trip 20 years ago , glad to hear it’s still amazing we loved and will do it again , 70 this year time flys x we live in uk , met folks from all over the world , food was amazing 🤩 And what a brilliant history to learn of this amazing railway x
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.
Marry us so we can leave the states!!! 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
This video is among my favorites. You said it;; The pictures need to speak for themselves. No talk over, just fantastic pics. 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…..
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.
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 .
We have sooo many mountains in Switzerland that I feel much more drawn to the east and middle of canada with the flat lands, big lakes, lush forests awww love it
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.
@@bxi1547I live in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia and I think it's absolutely beautiful. I will never leave. I want to die here. There's a true four seasons, with no season bring overly harsh.
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.
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
Yes, for all trips - please inform about the “fares” . Thank you. Love your videos
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!!
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.
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!
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
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". 😊
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.
🤣
😂❤
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 😂😂😂😂😂
As a Canadian i had tears of joy watching your video 😢. Absolutely Beautiful 😍
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.
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😮
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.
OMG you nailed this with the exact words I often say as being a lucky person to have lived in Vancouver and Vancouver Island OMG....definitely the BEST living I've ever done! In Ontario (Northern Ontario up near Sault Ste. Marie) beside Lake Superior and the rugged North Pre-Cambrian Shield areas which again is no slouch on WOW factors...but in a heart beat Vancouver Island is my 1st Home!
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
I lived in Toronto for 7 years and now I live in California. The scenery you showed is truly stunning! ❤
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)
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
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.
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 !!!
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
the laid-back narration and dreamy visuals create such a zen vibe. thanks!
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
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.
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
Thank you for bringing us along on this magnificent journey! Living vicariously through your lenses!❤
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!
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 👍
INCREDIBLE! Got the chills from Jasper & the mountains! So glad yall enjoyed it!
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.
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'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!
Thank you for sharing these beautiful views of my beloved Canada.♥️🇨🇦
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.
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!
Thanks for touring us across Canada. The scenery is just so breathtaking. This video just made me want to visit Canada again.
"A window half the size of Canada" is a GREAT selling point!
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.
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.
Jeb you are the best host and so easy to watch!!
Great videos and thanks for showing Canada in a beautiful light!!
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
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.
Epic
Holy crap our country is enormous, and beautiful.
It definitely is!
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.
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!
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.
One of my favorite part is watching you guys eat. I am literally drooling.
Took this train from Vancouver to Montreal in 1962, when I was 12. And back to Vancouver in 1965. Then once again in 1985. Thoroughly enjoyable back then. It's good see that it hasn't changed that much even though i have!
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.
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 absolutely adore travel videos like this, this was a fantastic watch keep going! 💙
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 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
Beautiful! I have savored the vistas, and now am devoting myself to eating, thsnks to viarail's inspiration!
Magnificent job in filming. I will talk my mom into taking this trip. She deserves something relaxing like this. Thank you.😃
I really enjoy you and Suzanne traveling together as a couple so much. You guys are honest , authentic, and always seem so grateful 👌🏾👌🏾
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.
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.
I wish I were this blessed to take these trips...love watching these videos.
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 🍀
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!
Great job! Thank you for reminding us just how beautiful our country is. Special shout out for sharing your footage of Kamloops and Ashcroft, BC! My two "hometowns." This video made me realize just how much I may sometimes take my own backyard for granted. Keep on keeping on! Cheers from Canada, eh!
#1 dream for me once I get to Canada, thank you very much for this great documentry video, I enjoyed every moment of it especially from where you got to JASPER, the views and all sceneries were beyond incredible, CANADA is the Best place on earth. THANK YOU.
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.
Hey Jeb,
Just wanted to say what an amazing video this was. Not just the train and views, but the great filming and editing. It really made for a great viewing experience. I sell Canadian vacations for a living and book this train regularly and really hope I get to experience it first hand one day. I’ll be sure to recommend this video to my clients to help whet their appetite! Thanks 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.❤
I love the light cover with gum wrapper & label tape.
Great job! 🤩
Those landscapes are truly inspiring, and all the more impressive seen from such an elegant train....Much love to, and for, Canada -- from an old British vet with fond memories of BATUS. Hope our two countries always maintain their close, historical ties!
Cheers, mate. I was seconded to a signals course in Suffield in 1993. Unforgettable experience working with the Canadian armoured regiments. Top-notch bunch
Thank you both for your service - - a Canadian
Love how enthusiastic and honest you both are about the experience - really adds to the video and journey!
The music you have chosen is as beautiful as the views. Thank you.
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.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Please include the costs/prices for your trips. My wife is constantly asking me how much the trip costs, so that would be a great help. We understand that prices vary depending on travel dates, but it at least gives us a base rate to start from.❤
Prices change so much during the year on these trips, class time of year. It really makes it pointless to post the costs. They have a website just like airlines do, put in some dates and see the pricing.
True, but a lot of folks on here seem to want the info regardless. It’s basically an itinerary starting point. Also, we’re not watching on a computer (Apple TV box), so my wife (probably a lot of wives) want to know what the UA-camrs paid, and any discount tips they can pass on. Like several others posted on here, a lot of these trips are way out of our budgets, but once in awhile, something comes along worth investigating. We just need a starting point other the Amtrak site…or consulting a travel agency. We connect more with folks like these, who tend to travel more in the styles we’re interested in than some travel agents (I’ve run into that a lot; there aren’t a lot of travel agents who “get” the kind of vacations my family is interested in). It’s part of the appeal of continuing to visit these channels, and thus, generating subscriptions by folks like my wife and myself.😊
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.
Y'all are the best! Thanks for sharing your journeys.
