Niagara Falls New York Getaway Roundtrip from Chicago

Five-day Chicago to Niagara Falls roundtrip aboard the Lake Shore Limited

Niagara Falls New York Getaway Roundtrip from Chicago, a rail journey with Amtrak Vacations

Amtrak Vacations runs this 5-day, 4-night roundtrip package between Chicago and Niagara Falls on the Lake Shore Limited, traveling in Coach class. Of the 4 nights included, 2 are spent onboard the train on the overnight legs each way, and 2 are spent in a hotel near the Falls. The package also includes a Maid of the Mist boat ride that brings visitors up close to Horseshoe Falls. No day-by-day itinerary is published, and the operator lists this as a Flash Sale offer from $259. It is sold as an independent rail vacation rather than an escorted tour, so travelers plan their own time once they reach Niagara Falls. This suits travelers who want the overnight train ride itself to be part of the experience, alongside a stop at Niagara Falls.
