Seattle Ultimate Getaway Roundtrip from Sacramento, a rail journey with Amtrak Vacations

Amtrak Vacations runs this six-day independent rail vacation between Sacramento and Seattle, riding the Coast Starlight round trip in Coach class up the California coast to the Pacific Northwest. Three nights in a Seattle hotel anchor the stay, built around a Seattle CityPASS covering the Space Needle and Seattle Aquarium, plus a choice of three more attractions, and a multi-day hop-on-hop-off or city sightseeing tour. The Space Needle observation deck takes in Mount Rainier, downtown Seattle and Elliott Bay on clear days, and time is also left for Pike Place Market at your own pace. No day-by-day itinerary is published for this package, so the exact split between the coastal rail journey and time in Seattle is not detailed here. It suits travelers near Sacramento who want a scenic, train-based getaway to Seattle rather than a longer escorted tour.
