Our thoughtfully planned getaways include everything you need for a North American adventure to remember.
Read moreFew places in the United States are steeped in more American heritage than the East Coast. Visiting the Eastern U.S. offers the opportunity to trace the country's historic roots in Boston, New York City, and Philadelphia, where the Declaration of Independence was signed. And these are just some of the great vacation destinations in the Northeast. Our East Coast tour packages include must-see places, including the nation's capital, Washington, DC; colonial Williamsburg and the Jamestown Settlement. Travel south to explore the Great Smoky Mountains, the classic Low Country city of Charleston, the historic city of Savannah, Jacksonville, and tranquil St. Augustine. Offering varying introductions to the East, our U.S.A east coast tours depart from DC, Chicago, and Boston, amongst other cities.
During the autumn season, our tour packages showcase New England's fall foliage with scenic rail excursions and lake cruises into the heart of the colorful scenery. These vacations also include visits to quintessential New England destinations, such as Boston's Freedom Trail, Franconia Notch State Park, New Hampshire's the White Mountains, the Mark Twain Home, Mystic Seaport and Martha's Vineyard.
Many of our train vacations utilize Amtrak trains to travel between major cities; however, the packages also include scenic train rides and exciting sightseeing opportunities to major local attractions. Select from East Coast getaways that are just a few days in length or plan a family vacation that is up to 12 days long by choosing one of the more extensive train trips.
