For as long as I’ve been alive, I’ve lived close to the CN mainline in Atlantic Canada. I’ve always loved trains, as my father, brothers and I would spend our Saturdays and Sundays railfanning in my youth. The one trip I always wanted to do was to take the train I railranned every weekend; Halifax to Montreal in a luxury first class sleeping cabin.

Well, today is the day I finally get to achieve this dream.

In this week’s video, we ride Canada’s longest continuingly serviced passenger train, The Ocean by VIA Rail. Having been in service since 1904, the 1,346 km, 24-hour train ride takes you through the majestic Atlantic Provinces in Eastern Canada. As we travel in the luxury sleeper class section, I’ll show you what First Class on this train is like, how comfy the bed is, what amenties you get on board, and of course, the exquisite dining experience on board.

With a Canadian train comes some breathtaking landscapes, and this train is certainly not short on them. We’ll pass by famous landmarks like the Bedford Basin, the Bay of Fundy, and the Baie de Chaleurs as we cross into Quebec and travel along the Ste Lawrence River before arriving in Montreal. This route gives an incredible first impression of Atlantic Canada and the mysterious wonders that lie in this often forgotten part of the country.

Be sure to watch until the end of the video so YOU know exactly what riding The Ocean is like, and how you can improve your experience on board!

As many of you folks know, this is the last episode I’ll be making in Canada for a long time since I’ve made way to Europe. This means that Noki Travels Season Two: Canada concludes with this episode. Thank you all so much for supporting me through my adventures and for watching my hard work come to life through the screen. I’m incredibly excited to share what Noki Travels Season Three: Europe will have in store for you folks!!
