Sebastian and Mike, two friends from Canada, recently went on a four-day journey on Canada’s longest train ride from Vancouver to Toronto. Sebastian, a TikTok user under the handle @sebpic_, documented their trip with eight videos, which have since gone viral, garnering millions of views. The videos showcase the train ride’s stunning scenery, including the Rocky Mountains and flat prairies. Via Rail’s “The Canadian” trip is one of the longest in the world, taking four days to complete, according to their website.
Sebastian’s TikTok series shows the train’s interior, including the tiny showers and the sleeper berth, which is the best value for $1,100. He also reveals that the cheapest option for the four-night-long journey is $500, but it doesn’t come with a bed. While the $5,000 per person option provides a private shower, big room, and unlimited drinks, it’s not affordable for everyone.
Despite the cost, the trip is well worth it, according to Sebastian. He says that the prairies were one of his favorite parts of the trip, and the food was exceptional. The train’s dome car also provided an excellent vantage point for viewing the massive B.C. mountains, which Sebastian and Mike were able to capture in their videos.
Sebastian and Mike’s TikTok journey has been a hit with viewers worldwide, with the first video gaining 6.3 million views. Many viewers in the comments section were impressed by the train’s “spectacular” views, and others were fascinated by the less-glamorous aspects of the ride. Sebastian’s TikTok series not only showcases the beauty of Canada’s landscape, but it also provides a glimpse into what it’s like to embark on one of the world’s longest train journeys.
