How soon can we book?
Amtrak Vacations can help you book anywhere from today to 2 years out. And all you'll need to secure the space and lock in the rate is a small deposit.
Do you always include transfers from the train station to the hotel or the airport to the hotel?
Not currently, but most of our hotels are strategically placed (typically within the city centre in most cities) and are often a short walk from the train station.
We do provide airport transfers in most cities and often times there is even a train that can take guests from the city centre to the airport upon departure. Should your clients prefer to have private transfers organised, then these can easily be added at the time of booking.
For more information, please speak to your Account Executive at the time of booking.
