USA Coast to Coast by Rail - an Escorted Experience

Escorted rail journey from New York to San Francisco across America

Illustration of USA Coast to Coast by Rail - an Escorted Experience

Vacations By Rail operates this escorted rail tour that carries travellers from New York all the way to San Francisco by train, crossing the continental United States. The journey takes in some of America's most recognizable destinations: the museums and streets of Manhattan, the monuments of Washington D.C., the architecture of Chicago, the peaks and valleys of the Rocky Mountains, the vast expanse of the Grand Canyon, the hills and studios of Hollywood, and finally the bay and bridges of San Francisco. This is a fully guided experience, meaning a tour director accompanies the group throughout. The tour suits first-time rail travellers who want to see the breadth of the country without arranging their own logistics, and anyone seeking the comfort and structure of an escorted group journey. Exact hotel standards, meal inclusions, the specific trains used, and the total duration are not detailed in the available information, so prospective travellers should contact Vacations By Rail directly to confirm those details before booking.
