West Coast Rail Journeys

VIA RAIL: THE SKEENA

Plunging deep into British Columbia's wild side, the Skeena takes you on a 1,160 km journey past the highest peaks of the Rockies and touches the Pacific coast. It passes waterfalls, rivers, lakes, and untamed wilderness teeming with wildlife, as well as frontier settlements and the totem poles of the west's First Nations.

 

Departing three times weekly year-round, the Skeena is a two-day journey between Prince Rupert, British Columbia, and Jasper, Alberta, with an overnight stop in Prince George. There are no onboard sleeping accommodations, but passengers can book their own accommodations in Prince George. Passengers can connect with the Canadian at Jasper, and ferries at Prince Rupert that cruise the famous Inside Passage of BC's beautiful Queen Charlotte Islands.
