The trip takes four days. Base price, one way, is $500 to $700.
Economy seats have lots of legroom and "comfortable reclinable seats."
Travellers hoping to catch a decent night's sleep may want to book Sleeper Plus tickets. These tickets are in upper or lower areas where travellers can fully stretch out in a "semi-private" bed. There is a curtain to close at night but the area is communal. During the day, they may be seated across from other people but also have access to other carts, including the Skyline car, the Park car, the Renaissance car and the Dining car, based on route and season.
Sleeper Plus tickets include onboard accommodations for one or two people. Passengers have access to common showers.
Folks who want to travel across the country in ultimate comfort should opt for Prestige Class cabins. These private accommodations feature "a modular leather sofa that can be transformed into a double bed" and a personal concierge. Guests can enjoy gourmet, three-course meals and watch movies from their cabin on a large flatscreen TV. Each cabin also has a private bathroom.
The Prestige options offer an "unparalleled level of elegance, comfort and privileged service," with prices starting at $2,500.
Passengers in Sleeper class or higher can relax in the Business lounge and enjoy free beverages, newspapers and Wi-Fi.
