In Comfort class, you'll be comfortably ensconced in a seat with a headrest. You can stretch out your legs, read as much as you want or enjoy a snooze. On either side: a huge, luminous window. Don't hesitate to ask a member of our friendly staff for a snack or refreshment.

The Transcontinental coach car allows you to travel long distances in complete comfort. Chair backs recline, enabling you to stretch your legs, lean your head back and enjoy the scenery as the train makes its way to destination. Take advantage of the little extras available to help you enjoy a restful night's sleep. Aboard the Canadian you receive a blanket, pillow and a amenity kit with eye mask, ear plugs and a face towel
