Next year, VIA Rail Canada Inc. will begin offering a new "Concierge Service" onboard its flagship Canadian train.

Available from June 1 to Oct. 21 on the Vancouver-to-Jasper route — one of the railroad's most popular overnight trains — the service will feature enhanced room service, breakfast in bed, complimentary beverages, upgraded toiletries, wine, flowers and a gift basket.

Passengers will stay in two double bedrooms converted into one large room with two wash areas and a queen-size bed. They also will have access to some of the amenities offered on the Canadian's Silver & Blue Class, including regional cuisine and wines, exclusive access to Park Car lounges and an observation dome.
