Experience the enjoyment of rail travel on VIA Rail's Easterly Class Service from Toronto or Montreal to the capital of Nova Scotia – Halifax! “Make your train trip to the Maritimes a tourist experience in itself. By combining the many comforts of train travel and the thrill of discovery, the new Easterly class offers more than a ticket to the Maritimes: through the guidance and companionship of a Learning Coordinator, it will show you the way to the region's past and traditions. In a setting reminiscent of the legendary transcontinental trains, the Learning Coordinator will provide the cultural backdrop to the rolling Maritimes seascapes through informative, yet entertaining presentations carefully intertwined with the passing scenery, while setting the course to create an interactive environment open and inviting to everyone. When you travel in Easterly class, you are given access to the very best VIA Rail has to offer: cozy accommodations and delicious meals. Refreshments remain available to you at any time, and you have exclusive access to their amazing touring cars, complete with panoramic dome and comfortable seating.” Halifax is lively and colorful with much to discover and will be your home for two nights. The heart of Halifax is perfect for exploring on foot with lots to see and do. The city is alive day and night.
