    Am I right that the sleeper upgrade includes 3 meals as well as sleeper for the trip?

  Can flight be included and also airport pick up be included?

  Flights / Transfers
  • 

    TourlandOperator•Written April 2026

    Flights are not included in this package. Guests will need to arrange their own flights from their hometown to Vancouver. This is a rail + coach tour. On Day 1, guests will depart from Vancouver Pacific Station and travel on VIA Rail to Jasper. Arrival will be on Day 2, and the journey will then continue with a bus tour through the Rocky Mountains. The tour ends in Calgary. We recommend booking a departure flight from Calgary International Airport after 21:30PM.

  Could you please provide more information on the itinerary, inclusions, and accommodation, particularly regarding the sleeper train upgrade? Additionally, it would be great if you could highlight the key differences compared to your 7-day rail adventure tour.

    Option 1: Tour 270585 — "7-Day West Canada Tour: Vancouver & Rockies with VIA Railway | Departure from Vancouver"
    This itinerary combines city highlights + Vancouver Island + the Rockies. It includes a guided Vancouver city tour, a full day trip Vancouver–Victoria–Vancouver (including BC Ferries, Butchart Gardens, and time in Victoria Downtown), and then continues onward by VIA Rail to the Rockies. It's ideal if you'd like to see more of the West Coast before heading into the mountains, and you prefer a more guided start with hotel pick-up options.
    
    Option 2: Tour 216748 — "5-Day Vancouver to Rockies VIA Rail Adventure"
    This is the shorter, more direct Rockies-focused version. It starts immediately with VIA Rail from Vancouver to Jasper, with self-arranged arrival and check-in at Vancouver Pacific Central Station (no Vancouver/Victoria sightseeing included). From Jasper onward, it covers the key Rockies highlights (e.g., Maligne Lake/Canyon, Icefields Parkway, Columbia Icefield optional, Lake Louise, Yoho, and Banff). It's best if your priority is to get to the Rockies faster, and you don't need the extra West Coast sightseeing.
    
    The most important takeaways:
    - 270585 (7 days) = Vancouver city + Victoria/Butchart Gardens + Rockies (more variety, more inclusions, more guided start).
    - 216748 (5 days) = Rockies-first (shorter, faster pace, no Vancouver/Victoria touring; starts with self-arranged train station check-in).
  • 

    TourlandOperator•Written March 2026

    The main difference between the 5-day and 7-day tours is that the 7-day tour includes exploration of Vancouver and Victoria during the first two days. As the tours that include the VIA Rail experience are very popular, please let us know your preferred departure date so we can check availability and the sleeper berth upgrade fee for you as soon as possible.
