Amtrak Vacations
San Francisco Ultimate Getaway Roundtrip from Seattle
Roundtrip San Francisco getaway by rail from Seattle on the Coast Starlight
Amtrak Vacations runs this 6-day, 5-night independent rail vacation between Seattle and San Francisco. The Coast Starlight carries travelers round trip in Coach class, bookending 3 nights in a San Francisco hotel. The stay includes a San Francisco CityPASS, covering the California Academy of Sciences and a Blue & Gold Fleet Bay Cruise, plus a choice of 2 more attractions from the Aquarium of the Bay, the San Francisco Zoo & Gardens, the Walt Disney Family Museum, or the Exploratorium. A multi-day hop-on, hop-off sightseeing tour and a dinner at a local restaurant round out the package. The operator does not publish a day-by-day itinerary, so the exact split between the long train journey and time in San Francisco is not detailed here. It suits travelers near Seattle who want a train-based getaway built around San Francisco's CityPASS attractions and a structured city tour.
