Train travel is an amazing way to see places from a new perspective and can help make the most of a short amount of time. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the stunning views from one of these five train trips that will reignite your passion for traveling.
Amtrak Coast Starlight
Running from Seattle, WA to Los Angeles, CA, the Coast Starlight whisks you past waterfalls, lush forests, snowy Cascade Mountains and the Puget Sound. While riding coach is a treat in itself, upgrading to first class means access to the Pacific Parlour car with dome windows and evening wine and cheese parties.
Tip: Book a seat on the west side of the car for views you won't get anywhere else.
Rocky Mountaineer
The Venice-Simplon Orient Express
Running between London, England and Venice, Italy, the Venice-Simplon Orient Express brings the roaring '20s back to life. Travelers are shuttled between the two major cities in restored vintage 1920s carriages, and sights include the French countryside, the Austrian Alps, Innsbruck, Verona, and the canals of Venice. A boutique car, three dining cars, a champagne car, and a classic bar car are all part of the experience.
