San Diego Ultimate Getaway, a rail journey with Amtrak Vacations

Amtrak Vacations packages this 4-day, 3-night land-only getaway to San Diego, California, calling it the Ultimate Getaway. Rail travel is sold separately by a Rail Expert in Coach, Roomette, or Bedroom class from any of over 500 Amtrak stations. The package covers 3 nights of hotel accommodations, a multi-day hop-on, hop-off sightseeing tour stopping at the Gaslamp District, Seaport Village, and Balboa Park, admission to the San Diego Zoo, and a sightseeing bay cruise. No day-by-day itinerary is published. This suits travelers who want more time and more activities in San Diego than a short weekend trip, including a full day at the zoo, while arranging their own rail travel there.
