From your leather L-shaped couch to your full-size Murphy double bed in your elegant and spacious cabin, Prestige class is the most comfortable way to discover Canada's ever-changing landscape by rail.

The stylish and modern decor inside the Prestige cabin combined with the breathtaking views along the way make for an unforgettable Canadian rail experience.

Prestige Sleeper Class cabins are not only 50% larger than a cabin for two in Sleeper Plus class, they also have much bigger windows so you can truly appreciate the stunning scenery as it passes by.

Prestige Class guests also have access to a host of premium amenities such as the in-cabin flat-screen monitor with a selection of videos and complimentary mini-bar, plus the added convenience of a private en suite bathroom complete with a shower.

More Luxury

Discover the beauty and contrasts of Canada from the comfort of first class when you opt to travel in Prestige. Upon departure and arrival Prestige Class guests have access to the Vancouver and Toronto station lounges to ensure you have the chance to relax both on and off the train. The Prestige Park Car adds that extra element of rail luxury to your onboard experience with its elegant Prestige Mural Lounge, relaxing Prestige Bullet Lounge and scenic dome section. Prestige Class guests enjoy unrestricted access to the Prestige Park car year-round.

Should you tire of the breathtaking vistas streaming through your cabin window you can immerse yourself in Canadian culture by attending the onboard wine tastings and interactive talks on local history, geography and more in the Prestige Park Car.
