Canada in fall is a feast for the senses, and traveling by rail offers a front-row seat to the spectacle. As summer starts to fade, the forests from Ontario to Québec ignite in fiery shades of crimson, gold, and amber. Rolling hills, stunninf lakes, and charming small towns take on a new magic. Along the way, travelers encounter French-Canadian culture in Montréal and Québec City, where cobblestone streets and historic architecture are framed by brilliant fall color. We offer multiple tours which are amazing fall adventures for leaf peepers and nature lovers.
One standout option is the Fall Colors of Eastern Canada Rail & Cruise, a 13 day journey blending train travel along Canada's vibrant Windsor Corridor with a relaxing cruise through the St. Lawrence and Atlantic waters. Guests enjoy leisurely exploration of picturesque ports, all while basking in autumn's vivid palette and guided by an expert tour manager. Another celebrated itinerary is Fall Colors of New England, Québec & Montreal, an 11 day escorted adventure from New Engand to Montreal.
A Canadian fall tour is more than a vacation-it's an immersion into one of the world's most breathtaking seasonal transformations. Every curve of the railroad track and each stop along the way reveals a new perspective on this fleeting, unforgettable time of year.
