Can you treat a train like a cruise ship? The answer is yes. It is possible to enjoy Amtrak in the same way you might enjoy Norwegian Cruise Line as long as you don’t expect a buffet or a swimming pool. There may even be a late-night dance party, if you are lucky.
There are plenty of stories of people who decided to take a ride on the rails. These experiences inspire, but also remind us of how unpredictable train travel can be. This is one of the drawbacks and perks. If you like your trains to always run on time, this might not be for you, but if you love the slow way that trains allow you to take in every part of the country and the unlikely alliances you form on board, then give a traincation a chance.
If you are in a browsing mood, check out Amtrak’s vacation packages. These packages offer deals to some of the most beloved destinations in the country, or cater to your desire to ride from coast to coast. There is something for everyone here. For a less intense trip, you can buy a multi-ride ticket or rail pass. These tickets allow you to get off the beaten path a little bit more.
Think about a great American adventure you have always wanted to take, book a ticket, and then get on board.
