Circle Tours
Begin and end your vacation in the same destination with a round
trip vacati0n by rail. These grand adventures double the sights you
see as the train travels a northern and southern route, or in a
loop, to your beginning and endpoint. Each course is highlighted by
stops in vibrant cities and scenic destinations that bring to life
the essence of the regions through which they travel. Select from
circle tours in the United States, Canada or Europe, and enjoy
distinct geographical differences, as well as completely different
train experiences, in each country.
Amtrak roundtrip rail vacations in the U.S. can travel west from
Chicago and over the Colorado Rockies to Salt Lake City and San
Francisco aboard the California Zephyr. The return to the
Windy City follows a course through the colorful Southwest aboard
the Southwest Chief. Set out through the unique landscapes of
California, departing from San Francisco and visiting
Yosemite National Park and the wineries of Napa Valley.
There are also tours that highlight the colorful
autumn hues and historical sites of New England. These
convenient tours even make their rounds through Alaska.
In Canada, join a grand rail circle through the Canadian
Rockies. You can elect to travel roundtrip aboard the all-daylight Rocky
Mountaineer train or take one leg of the trip
aboard VIA
Rail's Canadian, adding a classic overnight rail
experience to your vacation. Across the pond, these spectacular
journeys can include time in Switzerland, home to some of the
most scenic railways in the world and the awe-inspiring Swiss
Alps. Vacations
in Scotland present ancient castles and moving views of
the Scottish Highlands aboard iconic rail lines. Join us for an
expedition to remember in some of the world's best
locales.
