Degas is the only French Impressionist painter to have visited and painted in the United States. Degas traveled to New Orleans by train from New York City during his visit to the U.S., a journey that is re-lived everyday by travelers on Amtrak's silver, red and blue streamliner, the Crescent . The Amtrak Degas Express package is available for travelers coming to New Orleans on the Amtrak City of New Orleans from Chicago and Memphis and the Amtrak Sunset Limited from Los Angeles, the Southwest, Texas and Florida. The package is also available on the Amtrak Crescent from New York, Washington, D.C., and Atlanta, for those who want to retrace Degas' first views of America on his journey from New York to New Orleans.
Fares are subject to availability.
