With the soaring price of gas, family travel with VIA, Canada’s national passenger rail service, has never been more economical.

When traveling now through September 15, 2008, for every senior, student (18+), or adult-fare ticket purchased in VIA’s Comfort Class (economy), a child age 2-11 travels for free.  Available on every VIA train system-wide, the “Kids Travel Free” program makes it even more affordable to plan the perfect family getaway on VIA while exploring some of Canada’s most exciting destinations.

Prefer to be pampered? VIA’s Premier Class service on both the Canadian (western) and Ocean (eastern) services provides comfortable sleeping accommodations and meals throughout the trip.  And during the summer months, kids receive a 25% discount off the best adult fare available when traveling with an adult. What better way for parents or grandparents to spend some quality time with children this summer?

Kids and parents alike will love exploring the terrific Canadian scenery and exciting cities.  From tranquil Prince Rupert in the Pacific Northwest to historic Halifax in the Maritimes, the journey on VIA Rail encompasses friendly, attentive service, comfortable accommodations, flavorful regional cuisines, and a variety of onboard leisure activities.  So round up the kids and hop aboard for a fun, educational, and - most importantly - relaxing summer vacation for the entire family.
