Amtrak Vacations

​​​​​​​​From Erik
I love traveling on the train. It is a truly different travel experience. Amtrak Vacations can assist in planning and booking and entire vacation using rail.   
​Amtrak Vacations Overview
With rail vacation packages connecting some of the most beautiful and popular destinations across the United States and Canada, Amtrak Vacations offers an eco-friendly, flexible, and fun way to discover America. Choose from hundreds of pre-planned train trips or create your own travel itinerary, then sit back and enjoy the journey with Amtrak Vacations. (source: amtrakvacations.com)

Amtrak Overview
Amtrak – America’s Railroad® – is dedicated to safe and reliable mobility as the nation’s intercity passenger rail service provider and its high-speed rail operator. With our state and commuter partners, we move people, the economy and the nation forward, carrying more than 30 million Amtrak passengers for each of the past six years. Formally known as the National Railroad Passenger Corporation, Amtrak is governed by a 10-member board of directors, nine of whom are appointed by the President of the United States plus the Amtrak CEO. Anthony R. Coscia is board chairman and Jeffrey R. Moreland is vice chairman.  Amtrak operates more than 300 trains daily – at speeds up to 150 mph (241 kph) – connecting more than 500 destinations in 46 states, the District of Columbia and three Canadian Provinces.

Picture
My name is Erik Hastings, (a.k.a. Erik the Travel Guy) and I am an EMMY award-winning television personality who speaks directly to viewers who simply "get their vacations wrong". In addition to being a single dad of two amazing children, I am the host and managing editor of the internationally syndicated television series "Beyond Your Backyard" for public broadcasting stations (PBS) and other networks/VOD platforms. I am thrilled to be a part of an incredibly talented team of industry pros and the editorial driving force of my media platform. While the travel industry directly supports millions of families worldwide, I believe travel makes the world a better place. Through exploration and discovery, I have learned that travel brings cultures together. Read Erik's Full Bio.
