The effortless way to
experience the USA
first hand
At Jetline Cruise we aim to make the
most of your cruise to or from North
America by combining your cruise with a
variety of incredible land based options.
Your time in the USA can be optimised
by travelling on a train instead of flying.
This has the benefit of eliminating the
inconvenience caused by airports and
security queues while at the same time
giving you the opportunity to experience
more of the scenery and varied
landscapes this country has to offer.
Travel in comfort on one the many Amtrak
services taking you from the Great Lakes
in the North to the Big Easy in the South.
Perhaps travel from the parched deserts
of the West, across the Rockies to the
amazing metropolises of the East Coast.
See parts of the country that you would
not otherwise see - all from the comfort of
your private sleeper cabin or in the public
lounges, bars and restaurants on board
the train.
All of our cruise holidays with an
overnight train journey include private
sleeper roomette on a full board basis.
This really helps you to budget and save
holiday spending money on things like
dining out, hotel accommodation and
transportation costs.
Private roomettes
Your private roomette accommodation is
an air conditioned space with a window
designed simply as a place to sit by day
in quiet solitude watching the world go
by. At night the recliner seats convert
into bunk beds for a cosy place to sleep.
Each accommodation carriage has shared
shower and toilet facilities.
Viewliner Roomettes on most east coast
services are approx 3'6"x6'8" have
the added convenience of a WC and
wash basin in them. Whereas Superliner
Roomettes on West coast services are
approx 3'6"x6'6" and do not have a W/C
and wash basin in them.
On all routes you have the opportunity
to upgrade your roomette to a larger
bedroom with private shower, WC and
wash basin . These rooms
are approx
6'6" X 7'6"
and even with
the beds folded
down there is
still a separate
recliner seat.
All
accommodation
on board Amtrak trains have a cabin
steward who provides a turndown service
to convert your roomette into a bedroom
at night. Toiletries, towels, linens, coffee,
bottled water and newspapers are also
included in the price.
Dining
Any overnight train journeys with private
accommodation will include meals on a
full board basis. Whether it is for a full
sit down meal or more informal dining
many services have one or more options
for on board dining. On long distance
trips passengers are asked to make
reservations for lunch (between 1130 &
1500) and dinner (between 1700-2100).
Also most special dietary requirements
are catered for.

on the Empire Builder between Seattle
and Chicago for our Alaska cruise and

coyotes, road runners, Billy the Kid,
stage coaches, raucous saloons, Wild
West Train Robberies and the Shoot

enjoy sunlit marvels of colour and
unobstructed splendour, for just as

pristine vistas not visible from interstate
highways. This two-night journey crosses
two time-zones and passes through
Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona.

Arizona to visit the Grand Canyon.
Luggage
Each passenger is allowed two cases
of 23Kg each in their accommodation
and are also able to check into the
baggage car an additional 3 cases each
of 23 kg - which is far more than you
would be allowed if you were flying.
The maximum duration we are currently
promoting is 3 nights and so we would
recommend you to take 1 small case
for 2 people and check the rest of
your luggage to give you more space.
At each station Red cap Attendants
provide a free service to help you with
your luggage.
West to East coast services usually have
a change of train in Chicago and your
checked baggage will automatically be
taken care of and transferred between
the trains for you. You will need to
carry your hand luggage with you to
your next train - so the smaller the
better when you have the morning or
afternoon at leisure to explore Chicago.
