Great Rail Journeys - Skeena

Combining two of Canada’s great rail routes into one package places the spotlight on some of the finest scenery in Alberta and BC.  The Skeena is one of VIA Rail’s classic trains – a route that takes you from Prince Rupert to Jasper (or reverse direction) along the stunningly beautiful Skeena valley.  The scenery constantly unfolds as you journey through Western Canada.

Rail schedules are convenient and allow ample time to sightsee, explore and take excursions in Jasper or Prince Rupert. Viewing the magnificent Rocky Mountains up close is a thrill for all travellers and VIA Rail’s transcontinental ‘Canadian’ offers connecting overnight service from Jasper to Vancouver.  The Triangle Rail Route is a unique rail journey that lets you see so much of Canada’s West – all within a sensible amount of time.

The Skeena leaves Jasper and Prince Rupert three times per week (on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays). The train stops overnight in Prince George.

Travel aboard VIA Rail’s famous ‘Skeena’ Totem Deluxe service Prince Rupert to Prince George, or reverse direction.  This is a two day rail journey with an overnight stop in Prince George (Note:  the overnight Prince George not included.  Ask us about customising your Skeena travel itinerary!

 

Travel Tips: Combine with Alaska!
Take Alaska Ferry south to Prince Rupert and add Great Trains! Or add to any of our Vancouver departures like Vancouver Island self drive and explore by car.   Want to extend the trip? Ask to stay longer in Prince Rupert and Jasper - Great Trains offers unlimited flexibility. Great Trains is highly recommended, you can upgrade to suites and add Five Star hotels. Visit Queen Charlotte Islands from Prince Rupert by air or BC Ferries (requires extra days).
