New York City Ultimate Getaway Roundtrip from Savannah

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

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

Amtrak Vacations runs this six-day, five-night independent rail getaway between Savannah and New York City, using the Silver Meteor train in Coach class for the roundtrip journey, with two nights spent onboard the train, one each way. Three nights in a New York City hotel bookend that rail journey. Once in the city, a hop-on, hop-off sightseeing tour gives you an independent way to reach Central Park, Times Square, the Statue of Liberty, and the Empire State Building, and the evidence points to further highlights such as the Top of the Rock at Rockefeller Center, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Brooklyn's DUMBO neighborhood, and a slice of pizza at Lombardi's, described as recognized as America's first pizzeria. Only the hop-on, hop-off tour itself is listed as included, so admission to specific attractions and meals are on your own. This suits travelers who already enjoy overnight train journeys and want a full sampler of New York City's food, history, and landmarks rather than a single-attraction visit.
