Enjoy the breathtaking scenery of rolling countryside and charming towns while riding in style in a Pullman railcar! Adventure along the scenic path from Albany to New England. Your ticket price includes all your meals, hors d'oeuvres, snacks, and beverages. Guests need to arrange for their own overnight sleeping accommodations while in Boston.
Make 2027 a year to remember. Experience New England’s heritage and Boston’s unique blend of historic charm and modern energy, all in luxury with personal care by our on-board servers. This once in a lifetime trip begins in Albany, where the Colonial Crafts will be coupled to the rear of Amtrak's Lake Shore Limited. You can tailor this incredible journey exactly as desired: ride Amtrak one way and take the Pullman car the other or fly to Albany or Boston and meet us there to enjoy the adventure. Journey from Albany and watch the landscape transform as you traverse the picturesque Berkshire Mountains of western Massachusetts. Pass through lush spring forests, winding river valleys, and historic mill towns that showcase the vibrant rebirth of the season in the Northeast before rolling into the heart of Massachusetts.
Once you arrive in Boston, there is plenty to do. Make your own lodging plans and prepare to dive into a city buzzing with culture and excitement. Walk the iconic Freedom Trail to step back in time, explore the bustling streets and exceptional dining of China Town, or catch a captivating performance in the Theater District. Art enthusiasts will find endless inspiration wandering the renowned Museum of Fine Arts or the breathtaking courtyard of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. For a maritime adventure, head to Harbor Square, to embark on an unforgettable whale watching cruise, or take a scenic day trip ferry to Martha’s Vineyard. Sports fans are also in for a special treat this spring: you can head to legendary Fenway Park to witness the Boston Red Sox host the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday or Saturday.
As you journey aboard the Pullman car to Boston, savor a menu inspired by New England’s rich coastal and colonial heritage. Begin your day with comforting cranberry walnut toast or Railroad French toast, perfect alongside a warm cup of coffee. For lunch and dinner, enjoy sharp cheddar grilled cheese sandwiches, a traditional hotdog and Boston baked beans, and classic New England clam chowder. Hearty options include baked cod topped with herbed breadcrumbs and a tender Yankee pot roast slow cooked to perfection. For dessert, delight in apple pie a la mode or traditional Indian pudding, while refreshing cranberry spritzers offer a crisp, fruity finish to your meal. Each meal is freshly prepared aboard the Pullman car, pairing culinary excellence with the nostalgic charm of rail dining. Each item is selected for its regional roots and served in a way that complements the elevated atmosphere of first-class rail travel.
