3-day independent San Diego getaway with hotel, city tour, and harbor cruise

San Diego Getaway, a rail journey with Amtrak Vacations

Amtrak Vacations packages this 3-day, 2-night land-only getaway to San Diego, California. Rail travel is sold separately by a Rail Expert in Coach, Roomette, or Bedroom class from any of over 500 Amtrak stations, so travelers arrange their own trip there. The package itself covers 2 nights of hotel accommodations, a hop-on, hop-off sightseeing tour stopping at the Gaslamp District, Old Town, San Diego State Historic Park, and Balboa Park, and a harbor cruise. No day-by-day itinerary is published. This suits travelers who want a short, low-cost Southern California city stay with one bundled sightseeing tour and a cruise, and who are comfortable filling in the rest of their own schedule.
