Slow Journey: Take the Coast Starlight from Seattle to LA

Widely regarded as one of the most spectacular of all train routes, the Coast Starlight links the greatest cities on the West Coast. En route daily between Seattle and Los Angeles, the Coast Starlight passes through Portland, Sacramento, the San Francisco Bay Area and Santa Barbara.

The scenery along the Coast Starlight route is unsurpassed. The dramatic snow-covered peaks of the Cascade Range and Mount Shasta, lush forests, fertile valleys and long stretches of Pacific Ocean shoreline provide a stunning backdrop for your journey.

The legendary train features comfy coaches and sleeping cars, along with exclusive new amenities. The Dining Car offers fresh cuisine served on real china and table linens, while the Arcade Room will entertain kids of all ages with a great selection of arcade-style video games. Coach passengers enjoy big, comfortable seats, plenty of legroom and new, larger pillows, plus available at-seat meal service.

Sleeping Car passengers can experience a full range of exclusive services and amenities on the Coast Starlight, including complimentary onboard internet access – but don’t miss out on the spectacular scenery while you’re online. Each Sleeping Car passenger will also receive complimentary meals in the Dining Car or the Parlour Car, a special welcome gift and a personal amenities kit that includes toiletries.

A daily tasting of local wines and artisan cheeses is available for a small fee in the refurbished Pacific Parlor Car. This “living room on rails” is the perfect place for passengers to relax, celebrate or socialize. With a specialty coffee bar, onboard theater and alternative dining venue, you’ll wish the 30+ hour journey would take a bit longer!
