So pack your bags, grab your passport and join us for a memorable dual-country adventure.
Visit New York and Niagara Falls
Travel Amtrak to Canada from NYC on this thrilling roundtrip journey from New York City to Niagara Falls. Soak in the forested scenes of Upstate New York as Amtrak's Maple Leaf weaves through the mountains en route to Ontario. At Niagara Falls, enjoy two full days to experience the awe that comes with visiting one of the world's natural wonders with your Niagara Falls Adventure Pass in hand. Take a ride aboard the Hornblower, set out on a Behind the Falls tour or visit the White Water Walk. You can also explore the surrounding towns and attractions during your time in Canada. The tour concludes as the Maple Leaf returns you to Penn Station in the heart of New York City.
Ride Along the West Coast
Fantastic views of mountains, the Pacific Ocean and beautiful cities lie ahead when you travel to Portland, Seattle and Vancouver by train. This journey through the Pacific Northwest begins in Portland, where you have ample time to get acquainted with the city on your terms. A brief guided city tour furthers your experience here. Amtrak's Cascades takes you north to another fantastic city, Seattle, where the beauty of nature and endless activities collide. Your time here is highlighted by a Hop-on Hop-off tour, which explores the urban side of the city, and an excursion into the countryside, which presents mountains, waterfalls and a verdant wine region. Rejoin Amtrak's Cascades for the Seattle to Vancouver train. There is so much to see in Vancouver, a portion of which is presented on our guided tour upon arrival. Your time in Vancouver is complete with a visit to the waterside destination of Victoria and colorful Butchart Gardens before the tour comes to a close.
Gentle reminder: Keep in mind that for any trip that combines time in the United States and Canada, traveling by Amtrak or a Canadian railway, U.S. citizens need a passport and copies of required travel documents to cross the border.
Let Vacations By Rail open the door to these unforgettable adventures through North America - expeditions that present rich culture, deep history and awe-inspiring landscapes - with any one of these itineraries.
