New York City Ultimate Getaway Roundtrip from Dallas

Dallas to New York City roundtrip rail getaway on two named trains

New York City Ultimate Getaway Roundtrip from Dallas, a rail journey with Amtrak Vacations

Amtrak Vacations runs this nine-day, eight-night independent rail getaway between Dallas and New York City, using the Texas Eagle and the Lake Shore Limited in Coach class for the roundtrip rail journey. The package includes three nights of hotel accommodations in New York City plus four nights onboard the train itself, reflecting how much of this trip is spent on the long rail connection between Texas and New York rather than at the destination. Once in New York, a multi-day hop-on, hop-off sightseeing tour gives you an independent way to reach attractions such as Times Square, the Empire State Building, and Central Park, without a guided group schedule. The evidence does not specify where the Texas Eagle connects with the Lake Shore Limited, so this suits travelers who are comfortable managing a multi-train Amtrak connection on their own. At roughly $78 a day, it is also one of the more affordable multi-night rail getaways to New York City in this lineup.
