If you're interested in a VIA trip I would recommend calling them as all of the agents we dealt with were wonderful
We looked into a VIA cross Canada trip, and put it off for 2 reasons: It makes no "sightseeing" stops along the way. I've seen it run up to 36 hours late. 4 days on a train without getting off ? To be honest, I was getting a little "rammy" on a 2 day trip.
There are a few sightseeing rail trips in Western Canada that we are considering. The Rocky Mountaineer leaves Vancouver, stops at Kamloops, BC, then on to Banff , Lake Louise and Jasper. Also a VIA Vancouver to Calgary 6 day trip with 4 sightseenig stops.
