New York City Ultimate Getaway Roundtrip from Orlando

Orlando to New York City roundtrip rail getaway on the Silver Meteor

Illustration of New York City Ultimate Getaway Roundtrip from Orlando

Amtrak Vacations runs this six-day, five-night independent rail getaway between Orlando and New York City, using the Silver Meteor train in Coach class for the roundtrip journey. Two of those nights are spent onboard the train itself, one each way, bookending three nights in a New York City hotel. Once in the city, a multi-day hop-on, hop-off sightseeing tour gives you an independent way to reach Central Park, Times Square, and the Empire State Building, and the evidence also points to New York's cultural hot spots and restaurants as part of the appeal. Because the overnight Coach class journey runs one night each way rather than a short daytime hop, this suits travelers who already enjoy longer rail trips more than someone testing out train travel for the first time. No day-by-day itinerary is published, so the exact timing of the rail legs and city touring is not detailed here.
