Rail Journeys

Rail travel is a convenient, affordable and flexible way to see America. With plenty of room, comfortable accommodation, great views and dining, and an opportunity to reduce your carbon footprint, it's a great way to explore this vast country.

Amtrak

Amtrak is the largest passenger rail company operating in the USA. What that means for you is a simple and convenient way to book rail travel.

Amtrak makes it easy for you to go where you want and to spend more time at your destination, offering travel to over 500 destinations across 46 states on a 21,000 mile route system.

What's on board?

When you travel on an Amtrak train, it’s about more than just getting from place to place, it’s an enjoyable experience.

On most trains you have three seating options: coach class - wide and comfortable seats designed for you to relax; business class - within a dedicated car and offering an enhanced travel experience; or first class - spacious seating with priority boarding, at-seat service, complimentary meals and beverages, and spacious seating. Additionally, on long distance routes sleeping accommodations are also available which include bedrooms in various configurations and either private or public bathrooms and showers.

Whether you require a full sit-down meal or more informal food service, many trains have one or more options onboard. Short distance trains have a Cafe Car which offer a variety of snacks and beverages, while on medium and long distance trains a Lounge Car is available, and on long distance trains there is usually a full-service Dining Car which serves hot meals.

So, whether it’s a short journey between cities in the North East or a longer journey across the US, we can help you make your travel arrangements before you leave. With over 500 stations to choose from the possibilities are endless.

Travelling exclusively during daylight hours in glass-domed coaches, guests enjoy panoramic views, gourmet meals, and regional beverages.
