Autumn Spectacular Lake Champlain Explorer
Welcome Aboard!
Our vintage train journey between Montreal and Albany evokes the romance of bygone days, combining elegant dining with some of the most striking waterfront vistas in North America. The streamlined era comes back to life as you step aboard our beautifully restored dining car. White linen tablecloths and ornate railroad china will instantly transport you back to the 1950's.
As afternoon Tea is served large picture windows offer clear views of the autumn countryside. The tracks hug the water closely offering magnificent sights along Lake Champlain with the Green Mountains of Vermont rising in the distance. See the rolling fields of upstate New York and the Adirondack foothills. Wind through the edge of forested Adirondack Park featuring dense woods, rocky outcroppings and quiet streams. The day concludes with a hearty five-course sunset dinner prepared by our onboard chef.
Autumn is the perfect time to join us for one of the prettiest rail journeys in the northeast.
Reserve now as less than 20 guests can be accommodated aboard our vintage dining car.
