New Orleans Getaway Roundtrip from Chicago
Chicago to New Orleans roundtrip getaway on the City of New Orleans
Amtrak Vacations packages this 6-day, 5-night New Orleans Getaway as a round trip from Chicago on the City of New Orleans train, travelling in Coach class. The $539 USD price covers 3 nights of hotel accommodations in New Orleans, 2 nights onboard Amtrak for the roundtrip rail journey, and three set outings: a Jazz Brunch at the Court of Two Sisters, a Sightseeing City and Cemetery Tour, and a Swamp and Bayou Tour. No day-by-day itinerary is published beyond these inclusions, so travelers fill in the rest of their own time in New Orleans, which the description points toward Jackson Square's jazz music and beignets at Cafe du Monde. This suits Chicago travelers who want a train-based New Orleans break without arranging the rail separately.
