If you’re tired of crowded places then you’ll love this train since the maximum passenger limit is 100 persons. Remember, this is your escape from the fast-paced world so don’t look for a radio or TV. Unfortunately the train can’t accommodate everyone. The rail cars were built well before the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) so it does not conform to these standards. For example the walkways are narrow, and there are no provisions for wheelchairs or walkers.
Expensive But Worth It
Now the bad news. All this luxury doesn’t come cheap, and Amtrak is certainly much less expensive. Per person rates start at about $1700 and go up to $6000, depending on the trip and type of accommodations desired. On the other hand, this is an exceptional travel experience and one that is sure to be treasured for a long time to come. Yes it’s true that Amtrak is much cheaper but you get what you pay for. The golden age of train travel in the U.S. is long gone but fortunately The American Orient Express gives us a golden opportunity to once again recapture our past.
