Ocean Train tours

Visit Canada and you will not want to leave. So why not extend your Canadian adventure with an Ocean Train tour, one of the greatest railway journeys in the world? Take an overnight ride on the Ocean Train and see even more of this magical country.

One of North America’s oldest passenger trains, the Ocean Train runs along the St Lawrence River between Montreal and Halifax. It crosses the unspoiled wilderness of New Brunswick, with its gentle green valleys and colourful fishing villages, and Nova Scotia, whose lush forests, picturesque lighthouses and hidden coves will enchant you.

On our Ocean Train tours you discover laid-back Montreal, a foodies’ paradise and a fascinating blend of French tradition and North American energy.  Beautiful Halifax, with its famous star-shaped fort and harbour boardwalk, is equally alluring - a quaint historic port which has become a chic cosmopolitan city.

Your choice of escorted tours and cruises just got even wider
