I have always had a great affinity for trains and rail travel. I found myself with some time off in March and I decided that I would finally ride The Canadian. A four day journey from Toronto to Vancouver. Total journey of 4,446 Kilometers with incredible views along the way.
I get online and start looking for fares. Settle on their Prestige sleeper car. Tons of amenities.
1. Double bed
2. Full on suite Bathroom + shower
3. 24 hour personal Concierge
4. Mini bar ( Unlimited)
5. Unlimited drinks including alcohol in the regular and prestige lounge
6. 5 star dining experience and meals
Now I'm getting excited until I get to check out.
Grand total for this experience is 16,665$ CAD.
16, 665$ CANADIAN DOLLARS!!!!!
Little crushed. It would be a once in a life time experience, but I could probably fly to Africa and experience the Blue Train for cheaper.
