New Orleans Ultimate Getaway Roundtrip from Atlanta

Round-trip New Orleans getaway from Atlanta on the Crescent train

Illustration of New Orleans Ultimate Getaway Roundtrip from Atlanta

Amtrak Vacations runs this 5-day, 4-night New Orleans Ultimate Getaway as a round trip from Atlanta, riding Amtrak's Crescent south in Coach class both ways. The $399 USD price includes 4 nights of hotel accommodations in New Orleans along with a set of extras: a Jazz Brunch at the Court of Two Sisters, a Swamp and Bayou Tour, a Steamboat Natchez cruise, admission to the National World War II Museum, a City & Cemetery Tour, and dinner at a local restaurant. No day-by-day itinerary is published beyond these inclusions, so travelers fill in the rest of their own time in the French Quarter. This suits Atlanta travelers who want a train-based New Orleans break with more included sightseeing and dining than the standard Getaway.

Each point is a day we checked this operator's own page, not a weekly average, and the line holds flat between checks rather than guessing at movement we did not see. 3 of 5 points are a live read of the operator's page. Hollow points are values shown when the trip was first listed here and never confirmed with the operator.

What to know before you look closer

  • The operator publishes no day-by-day itinerary for this package; confirm which days the rail journeys and tours fall on before booking.
  • The included list names a Steamboat Natchez Daytime or Evening Cruise, but the description also mentions a Creole Queen Paddle Wheeler cruise on the Mississippi River; confirm which vessel is included before booking.
  • No hotel name or star rating is given in the evidence, so the specific New Orleans property is unknown until you book.
