Customize Your Train Experience for the Journey of a Lifetime!

Taking a train vacation is about so much more than just passing the time until you arrive at your destination. The experience of riding on the train, from the type of room accommodation you choose to your meals and even what you see out the window, can be customized so that your journey is just as special as the rest of your trip. You can learn more about our customization options here.

Seat or Sleeper?

Amtrak's coach-class seats are some of the roomiest in the travel industry. But if your journey has you on the train overnight or longer, you can upgrade to a roomette or bedroom in one of the train's sleeper cars. The roomette is a particularly convenient option if you are traveling solo and desire additional privacy. Equipped with a landscape window in every room, as well as two comfy seats, two beds, outlets, and a fold-down table, Amtrak’s roomette is your home away from home on the train. Plus you get loads of amenities for ultimate comfort, including bed linens, pillows, temperature controls, lights, bedside storage nooks, and outlets for all of your devices. And one of the biggest perks of a roomette – the food is included! Full breakfast, lunch, and dinner in Amtrak’s restaurant on wheels – the Dining Car – where you can enjoy good food, drinks, and good company with a window seat to view incredible scenery. You can learn more about Amtrak’s onboard sleeping experience here.
