New Route, Same Spectacular Views
Amtrak’s East River Tunnel Rehabilitation Project in New York requires closing one tunnel tube at a time to safely and efficiently conduct modernization work, resulting in minor capacity limits on train operations in this area. As a result, Amtrak has temporarily combined the Capitol Limited and Silver Star trains to create the Floridian, which will run between Chicago and Miami via Washington, DC.
A Comfortable Journey
Instead of driving a car, taking a plane or bus, the Floridian is bound to give you a memorable train ride. Spacious accommodations make your trip more enjoyable, with showers and thoughtful amenities, friendly service, and delicious dining. Choose a wide, comfortable Reserved Coach seat, or make reservations for a private room and enjoy watching the spectacular scenery roll past. Traditional dining meal service is offered as a complimentary benefit for First Class customers. Plus, your dedicated First Class attendant is on hand to assist with meals and luggage, provide turndown service, and share great stories of life on the rails.
Trainside Checked Bike Service
Don't let your bike sit at home while you have all the fun — take it with you on your next trip aboard the Floridian and explore your destination car-free. Advance reservations are required. See the full details.
