Extraordinary Highlights:

• Overnight stay in Salt Lake City at the Four-Diamond rated Little America Hotel, one of our favorite hotels in the American West.  Since we do not board our train until late evening on day two, for maximum convenience, we have arranged for our guests to occupy their luxury accommodations until late evening on day two.  A Salt Lake City tour is included as is breakfast and a special welcome dinner.
• Travel from Salt Lake City to the San Francisco Bay Area aboard our own 1940's era Vintage Streamliner train, the 'Great Western Limited' with all meals, wines & spirits while aboard.  We have our own chef and stewards and this is a civilized way to travel with fine dining, fresh flowers and elegant surroundings.  All guests enjoy sleeping car accommodations with all rooms having in-room facilities.  Our route takes us over the original Transcontinental Railroad, the storied 'Overland Route' past Donner Lake and through the majestic High Sierra in daylight.

European River Cruises

A story began over 80 years ago on a spring day in 1928, while using his family's rowboat to transport commercial goods across beautiful Lake Lugano, Switzerland, Antonio Mantegazza became inspired to share the stories and legends of his home with others.  He soon began transporting tourists around the area and River Cruising was born.

European waterways today provide room for vessels to explore.  On a River Cruise you will travel in style and comfort on a ship that offers large staterooms.  The vessels will enhance your vacation experience and make you feel at home or as if you are at one of the finest resorts.  Most include: ceiling to floor windows, sliding glass doors, French balconies, hotel style beds, Egyptian linen, flat screen TV, spacious closets, minibar, safe, hairdryer and climate control.  Wines, soft drinks and beer are complimentary on every vessel.  With true flavors of fine local cuisine, such as fondues of Germany, we'll delight your taste buds with regional specialties as well as Western favorites.
