"A Maritime Learning Experience" returns for fourth season
(NC)-This summer travellers will once again become immersed in the romance of Canada's Maritime Provinces with the return of VIA's Easterly Class: A Maritime Learning Experience. From June 15th to October 18th the unique rail journey will kick off its fourth straight season following years of positive reviews from travellers around the world.
The Easterly Class is a seasonal upgrade to its already existing Comfort Sleeper class on the Ocean. Operating year-round, six times per week in each direction between Montréal and Halifax, the learning component upgrade is featured throughout the summer season.
On-board learning coordinators schooled in the history of the Maritimes and familiar with everything from regional wines to lobster trapping make the excursion a special educational experience. Historic, cultural and geographic information vignettes compliment the on-board activities that are an integral part of the Maritime Learning Experience. Maritime décor is also on display throughout the train, including in sleeping compartments.
The sleeping accommodations in VIA's domed-observation Park Car, which include a triple and quadruple bedroom, is available for booking by couples as well as families for an additional surcharge. With its Art Deco design, Mural Lounge and all day service of coffee and tea, the Park Car's warm atmosphere is the perfect setting for travellers seeking to rekindle their romantic travel experiences from the past.
All meals on board - three in total from Montréal to Halifax - are included in the ticket price for Easterly Class passengers and feature impressive cuisine inspired by local specialties and products. More information on the Easterly Class is available at viarail.ca.
