This trip begins in Albany where the Colonial Crafts will be coupled to the rear of Amtrak's Lake Shore Limited.  After enjoying the breathtaking scenery of rolling countryside and charming towns, you will enjoy a full-course dinner. Once you arrive in Boston, there is plenty to do.  Make your own lodging plans and plan to enjoy many of the fine restaurant offerings in Boston. Take part in history in the making as you explore this historic city during the 250th fourth of July celebration. Enjoy the sounds of the Boston Pops on the Esplanade, be in awe of the inspiring fireworks, and experience the 1812 overture in grand form with cannons and church bells!

While on the Pullman car, enjoy hors d'oeuvres, snacks, and beverages all in historic luxury with personal care by our on-board servers.  Make your 2026 a year to remember with this once in a lifetime trip. You are able to tailor your trip however you like.  Ride Amtrak one way and take the Pullman car the other; fly to Albany or Boston and meet us there to enjoy the journey through New England. After enjoying your time away in Boston, you can return West on the Colonial Crafts. Our one-day trip leaves Boston on Sunday and arrives in Albany the same night.
