MultiVu Video Feed: Amtrak Partners With Grandluxe to Offer New Luxury Rail Service Along Its Most Popular Long Distance Routes

Are you sick of endless delays at the airport and overcrowded, cramped flights? Traveling by train allows passengers to see some of America's most beautiful landscapes and unlike an airplane, travelers get a chance to see everything up-close. Now, the golden age of luxury train travel is back as Amtrak, the national railroad, announces an historic alliance with Grand Luxe, the most deluxe private train in the US.

The new GrandLuxe Limited service uses a separate, private, seven-car luxury train attached to several regularly scheduled Amtrak trains. The GrandLuxe train, which features Dining, Lounge and Sleeping cars appointed with elegant vintage furnishings, will be occupied exclusively by GrandLuxe Limited passengers, which means five-star five course meals, plush cabins and even personal butler service!

With departures starting in November and continuing through the holiday season into January 2008, GrandLuxe Limited will be available on three of Amtrak's most popular long distance runs: between Chicago and L.A.; Chicago and the San Francisco area; and Washington DC and Miami.
