The Royal Canadian Pacific

Pacific Express -- Anniversary Celebration
Five Nights

Join us as we celebrate the 120th Anniversary of the inauguration of Canadian Pacific Railway's first transcontinental train, "The Pacific Express." The Pacific Express departed Montreal's Dalhousie Square Station on June 28, 1886, and ventured across Canada to Port Moody, now a west end neighborhood in Vancouver.

Along the route through Alberta and British Columbia, our anniversary special will showcase some of the most dramatic engineering feats in railway history. The age of luxury meets the spirit of discovery.
