GrandLuxe Rail Journeys is the current operator of the American Orient Express. Through this company you can book train tours of the national parks of the west, the Rockies, Sierra Nevada, and Napa Valley, as well as tours of the Antebellum South and Mexico’s Copper Canyon.
These trips generally run 4 to 10 days and can be booked by calling 800-269-6044.
There are a variety of accommodations available, from a standard Pullman car with upper and lower berths to a Presidential Suite. Attire is casual so you will not need a tuxedo to get into the dining car. Bring walking shoes for the tours at frequent stops. There is a gourmet restaurant and a pianist to play background music for your journey. Meals and hotels are included in the price of your journey.
If you want to see the beauty of America there is nothing like riding a train through the mountains and plains. You will not have to worry about driving and can spend your time looking out the windows. Unlike an airliner, you will be part of the landscape, not high above it. For scenery and enjoyment there is nothing like a train ride.
