Agent's tip
Long itineraries have many fare combinations — our agents routinely find cheaper split-ticket pricing.
Classes of service on this route
The Floridian operates with Superliner + Viewliner II. Available accommodation:
Sleeping-car fares on this route include all meals for everyone in the room, priority boarding, station lounge access where available and a dedicated car attendant. Once meals are priced separately, the gap between coach and a Roomette narrows considerably — and for two people travelling together it frequently closes entirely.
