WHAT ARE THE SLEEPER ACCOMMODATIONS ON THE TRAIN LIKE?

We offer 5 different rail vacation types to choose from:

Amtrak trains traveling on long-distance routes typically use either twolevel Superliner or one-level Viewliner trains. Both types of trains include Bedrooms arranged in various configurations, as well as private and public bathrooms and showers. Both Roomettes and Bedrooms provide sleeping accommodations.

Escorted Rail Journeys – Our escorted rail vacations bring people together to discover famous landmarks and hidden treasures of North America. With a professionally-planned itinerary, knowledgeable local guides and an Amtrak Vacations Tour Manager to bring all the elements together, this is a once in a lifetime experience.

A Roomette is designed for one or two passengers, with comfortable reclining seats on either side of a sweeping picture window. At night, the seats convert to a bed and an upper berth is lowered down from the ceiling. There are several sinks, toilets and showers shared between yourself and the other passengers booking Roomettes aboard the train.

Independent Rail Journeys – Soak in the magical scenery of North America from the comfort and luxury of Amtrak. You set your own schedule on these adventures while all the planning is done for you including hotel accommodations, sightseeing attractions, activities, dining and more.

A Bedroom is ideal for two passengers. The Bedroom offers a private, selfenclosed toilet and shower in the cabin. Like the Roomette, the Bedroom has comfortable reclining seats on either side of a sweeping picture window. At night, the seats convert to a bed, and an upper berth with its own picture window folds out from the upper wall.

Rail and Sail Vacations – Explore North America by land and sea on a Rail and Sail Vacation. Travel in comfort and luxury via Amtrak to explore popular cities like Seattle, New Orleans and Miami before cruising along the glacial wonders of Alaska or the relaxing shores of the Caribbean.

To view what a sleeper is like, visit our site at www.amtrakvacations. com/sleeping-and-seating to view a 3D tour of all Amtrak sleepers.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE RAIL VACATION PACKAGE TYPES YOU OFFER?

Family Adventures – Designed for families of all ages, our rail adventures will delight everyone with fascinating destinations and attractions, exciting activities and entertaining learning experiences for an unforgettable family vacation. Rail Getaways – These 2-4 day, single-city getaways combine your travel needs into a simple vacation package. Inclusive of hotel accommodations, sightseeing and entertainment, these flexible getaways let you explore at your own pace without the hassle of planning the details.

RE MEALS INCLUDED WITH MY SLEEPING ACCOMMODATIONS OR ANY A OTHER PERKS?

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.
