2. Can I fly to the first city then pick up my rail vacation package and then fly home from a different city?

Yes, absolutely! You can take the Amtrak train one way and then fly home from a different city. This is very popular with our Escorted Rail Vacations, Independent Rail Vacations and our Rail and Sail Vacation packages.

3. Can I add on additional sightseeing activities and/or additional hotel nights to one of your rail vacation packages?

Yes, you can add additional sightseeing activities and/ or hotel nights to most existing rail vacation packages we offer. There are a couple ways to do this.

• On the website: You will be able to view the Amtrak rooming upgrade options, hotel upgrade options and additional sightseeing options through the online booking process. Details of the upgrades and price increases are listed next to each item. Additional charges may apply.

• When you speak with a Vacation Specialist: Request an explanation of the upgrade options to your vacation package as you wish. Additional charges may apply.

All of our hotels are centrally located within each city we visit. Most are within a short distance of the train station and local sights. Hotel upgrades are available upon request.

We can provide special menu selections on most trains with 72-hour advance notice. We require 24-hour advance notice for Acela Express First Class service. You do not need to provide advance notice for vegetarian meals.

9. How long before the train departs should I be at the station?

The recommended arrival time for each station varies, but plan to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to your scheduled departure.
