Award Winning "Silver and Blue" Class of Service
"Our land-cruising experience with its award-winning service is "luxury on rails".  Located at the rear of the train, cozy private rooms and semi-private compartments lead to the acclaimed "Park Car" which is exclusively reserved for "Silver and Blue" passengers.  You'll savor time in the Bullet Lounge enclosed by its wraparound windows.  Above is the popular 360 degree scenic dome and below, the intimate Mural Lounge, famous for its Canadian art collection.  Wherever your assigned sleeping quarters may be, there is a Skyline car nearby with a scenic dome, a lounge and dining room."  The dining car provides another great place to sit back, wine and dine and enjoy watching the spectacular scenery roll by.
We offer three types of sleeping accommodation - Layout of Bedroom Cars
Bedroom for Two Persons -
By day a private room for two or three, with armchairs, a large picture window, small closet, call button, hand basin, razor outlet, and separate toilet, vanity and foldout table on request.  At night the unit converts to upper and lower beds.  On diagram below look for "Bedrooms" lettered "B" through "F" for double bedrooms and triple bedrooms are lettered "A".  Triple bedrooms have two lower beds and one upper bed and are very, very limited. Two bedrooms can be combined into one very large bedroom (Suite) by removing the common wall.
Single Bedroom - A private one-person room with comfortable seat, call button, its own hand basin, razor outlet, concealed toilet, and vanity.  At night it becomes a snug sleeping area.  On diagram below look for "Roomettes" numbered 1 through 8 on the right side of the diagram.
Upper and Lower Berths - Semi-private, with wide couch-style seats facing each other.  At night, converts to upper and lower beds with reading lights and heavy curtains for quiet and privacy.  Washrooms are a few steps away.  On diagram below look for "Double berths" (couchettes) numbered 1 through 3 on the left side of the diagram.
