Amtrak Great Getaway Fares are for one-way coach class travel. Upgrades to Custom Class preferred seating and First Class sleeping accommodations can be reserved for an additional charge, subject to availability. Offered at the same time that a new Carmen Sandiego computer game is introducing youngsters and their families to U.S. geography and rail travel, these special spring fares are a low-cost way to actually visit sights highlighted in the popular game. Along the way, train travel provides comfort and sociability. When you take the train, your spring vacation begins the moment you come aboard, said Amtrak s Marian Azzaro, senior director of marketing.
Families especially seem to appreciate the quality time they enjoy on a train.
The kids can make new friends in the sightseer Lounge, while parents catch up on their reading or enjoy the scenery. Often families have time to play games together or watch a movie, and going to the dining car for meals can be a special treat. Reservations also can be made here on our website.
