WHY IT RATES: Travel agents and advisors should be taking note of the new booking engine Amtrak Vacations launched online.-Donald Wood, Breaking News Senior Writer.


Amtrak Vacations, one of the leading train travel package providers in North America, recently launched an enhanced online booking tool to give travel advisors a convenient and easier way to book rail travel for their clients.

Using Amtrak Vacations first-of-its-kind online booking engine, advisors can now book independent, customized train vacations inclusive of preferred dates and times, departure and arrival cities, Amtrak train routes, hotels, tours and activities, transfers, and rail - all in real time.

Advisors will also now be able to instantly check availability and pricing of sleeping accommodations onboard the train and reserve their selection for those scenic, overnight trips.

"Advisors already know Amtrak Vacations is a one-stop shop for independent rail vacations, and now with the ability to go online and customize an itinerary based on their client's needs, it's even easier," said Jim Marini, Vice President of Sales, Amtrak Vacations.

Amtrak Vacations' easy-to-use booking system now allows travel advisors to choose from 500+ Amtrak stations and directly book travel to top destinations across the US, including top national parks and major cities. As always, advisors can also still call and speak directly to a Amtrak Vacations Rail Specialist for both reservations and questions.
