Rail travel is expanding in both Canada and the U.S. with new itineraries and even a new departure destination.
For example, Yankee Leisure Group has launched Via Rail Vacations by Railbookers for the U.S. market.
“With the growth in rail travel overall, and specifically throughout Canada, we are excited to launch a dedicated brochure and over 40 unique products throughout Canada on VIA Rail,” said Frank Marini, president of Yankee Leisure Group, in press materials.
Over 40 independent rail vacations featuring destinations across Canada on VIA Rail trains will be offered including the Canadian Rockies Discovery Eastbound, the Ultimate Canada and Rockies Westbound, and the new Grand Eastern Canadian Rail Journey. For more information, visit railbookers.com.
Amtrak Vacations has added two new itineraries to its portfolio, both featuring roundtrip travel into and out of the rail line’s new stop in Roanoke, Virginia. The new getaways are: Washington, D.C.
