Quebec to Maritimes by Ocean Train

Explore Montreal and Quebec City, take the overnight train to Moncton, then drive to the Hopewell Rocks, PEI, and Halifax

Connect the historic French-flavored cities of Quebec with the Atlantic coast. The highlight is the Ocean overnight train from Sainte-Foy, arriving in Moncton the following afternoon. From there, rent a car to see the tides, cross to PEI, and take the ferry to Halifax to complete the trip. The overnight train runs three times a week, so plan your itinerary around its schedule. Perfect for train lovers who want to avoid driving the entire distance. The South Shore is covered as a day trip.

The train operates year-round. The ferry and Hopewell Rocks are seasonal, with reduced schedules in autumn.
