National Park Rail Tours & Vacations

Throughout the world, stunning examples of nature's beauty have been protected under the prestigious cloak of national parks.

Traveling further abroad, uncover dramatic fjords and rainforests in New Zealand's Fiordland National Park or spot majestic wildlife in their natural habitats in India's Ranthambore National Park or Kruger National Park in Africa. Wherever your travels take you, national park vacations are an incredible way to get back to nature.

Traveling between America's states and the Canadian provinces presents an impressive range of vistas, from mountains and forests to deserts and plains. Stunning examples of nature's beauty in both countries have been protected under the prestigious cloak of National Parks, and national park tours are the best way to experience these untouched lands.

National park train tours connect treasured destinations with beloved parks. A visit to western national parks may begin with a train ride to cities like Flagstaff or East Glacier Park, aboard the Southwest Chief or the Empire Builder before continuing to the West's treasured parks. See Old Faithful, bubbling hot springs and fumaroles in  Yellowstone National Park.  Admire the towering rock formations and tumbling waterfalls in  Yosemite National Park. Stand in awe of the massive  Grand Canyon National Park. Seek out the multi-colored hoodoos in  Bryce Canyon National Park and the thousands of sandstone arches in Arches National Park. Travel along the Going-to-the-Sun Road in  Glacier National Park. Further north, Alaska's national parks are breathtaking. Embark on a tundra wilderness tour in Denali National Park and gaze at calving glaciers from your ship in Glacier Bay National Park. Select vacation packages combine these national parks with cruises through Alaska's Inside Passage.

Traveling to national parks by rail may also take travelers to the parks of Canada. Take a dip in Banff Hot Springs or marvel at views of Banff National Park aboard the Banff Gondola. Hike through Maligne Canyon in Jasper National Park or take a short boat ride on Maligne Lake to Spirit Island for stunning scenes of the Canadian Rockies.

Further afield from North America, nature lovers can explore the beauty of Hohe Tauern National Park in Austria, renowned for its majestic peaks and glacial valleys. In New Zealand, the dramatic landscapes of Fiordland National Park offer breathtaking fjords and lush rainforests. Meanwhile, Ranthambore National Park in India presents a unique opportunity to witness the majestic Bengal tiger in its natural habitat. In Africa you can visit amazing wildlife at the Chobe National Park or Kruger National Park.

Ideal for seniors, for families and for nature lovers of all ages, national park tour packages allow guests to get back to nature.
