Fall Into Savings with 6 of Our Most Popular Train Vacations
Retirement is a wonderful time to visit all those places you've always wanted to. If you could go anywhere in North America, where would it be?
Today's seniors are up for anything, and they're traveling like never before. They're not simply looking to be recliner-bound or looking forward to that next game of Bridge (although those are both wonderful leisure activities). They have a passionate desire to discover more of the world, including here in the USA and Canada. Let's put it this way: Celebrating your retirement can be anything but boring! When you retire, train travel can accomplish three main things. One is to get away from the doldrums of retirement and experience something, or someplace, new.
According to a recent AARP national survey, 47% of retirees are looking for a getaway from everyday life.
The second is to reconnect with your spouse or partner, friends, and family, especially your children and grandchildren. And the third is to relax and take it slow, which means different things to different people. After decades of cramming your travel plans into limited vacation time and long weekends, now's the perfect time to take that dream train vacation you've been thinking about. We're talking about experiencing memory-making moments that could serve as the highlights for dinner conversations for years to come, the kind of adventures that you can share across generations. And right now is the best time to book whatever vacation you have in mind! You already have the luxuries of more freedom and time to travel, why not take advantage of our Fall Into Savings Sale?
