It is recommended that you book early, as some trips sell quickly. If it is close to departure date contact us anyway as we often get last minute cancellations and we may be able to fit you in. All dates are subject to change because of possible revisions or cancellations by supplying carriers. Certain restrictions apply. For more information call our reservations office. As agents for RBC Travel Insurance we recommend and sell trip cancellation and interruption coverage as well as special packages covering any particular need. Ask about our competitive rates.

West Coast Rail Tours, a division of the West Coast Railway Association, reserves the right to cancel, modify or alter all or part of the services when necessary. Should this occur, WCRT will attempt to provide the best alternative available. All fares, schedules, and itineraries are subject to change without notice at any time.

Fares are non-refundable once fully paid, but are transferable to another person. The West Coast Railway Association acts as an agent for, and makes arrangements with, hotels, bus lines, railway companies and other independent parties to provide travel services and accommodations. Although great care has been taken to choose suppliers, WCRT is unable to control them and therefore, WCRT is not responsible for their acts or omissions. The travel services provided by these suppliers are subject to the conditions imposed by the suppliers and their liability may be limited by their tariffs, conditions of carriage, or other agreements. Fares and dates current as of Jan 1, 2008. Fares are in Canadian dollars and do not include GST.

West Coast Rail Tours is also a certified IATA travel agent for the booking of railtours, hotels, ferries and air travel throughout the country. We always recommend travel by rail, and if one of our own tours isn't for you this year, consider a rail trip elsewhere. We recommend Rocky Mountaineer Vacations as providers of travel experiences that will be remembered for a lifetime, and it is the only way to travel the scenic CPR route through to Banff by rail. We also can book your trip on VIA Rail Canada across Canada, anywhere on AMTRAK in the United States as well as major airlines & cruise lines. We know the "Rail Way" and when you use us, the WCRA gets any travel agent commissions to help with our restoration projects.
