THERE IS NO BETTER WAY TO TRAVEL THAN BY RAIL.
The only thing that can make that journey better? Traveling with friends and family!
Fill out the RSVP form below to reserve your spot.

​Your day out on the rails begins at Pennsylvania Station’s Moynihan Train Hall, where you will have unique access to Amtrak’s brand new “Metropolitan Lounge”. From there, you will step back in time as you step aboard a historic car-Tavern-Lounge No. 43. On the journey between New York and Albany, enjoy the one-of-a-kind view of the passing Hudson River. After an intermission at Albany-Rensselaer, our train will skate along the Hudson with the setting sun. Our historic rail car, traveling on the tail end of Amtrak’s Empire Service, will traverse the very tracks that the 20th Century Limited did from 1902 to 1967.

​Passengers in this lounge class will receive catered sandwiches and sides, served buffet-style in the tavern aboard the 43. This car is BYOB. Passengers will enjoy the breathtaking view through big picture windows as our train skates along the Hudson River. 
The Tavern Lounge No. 43 harkens back to when travel was a social activity. Passengers traveling long distances could head to the lounge to spend time away from their designated bedrooms or coach seats to relax, drink, and socialize with their fellow travelers.
