Experience luxurious
rail travel aboard the classic 1930’s
Pullman lounge/sleeper Dover Harbor-- travel to the
Tidewater region of Virginia to Williamsburg, the
Colonial Capital, or to the maritime city of Newport
News. After an early morning departure from
Washington Union Station or Alexandria, enjoy
breakfast served at your table, as Amtrak’s Regional train #67 takes us southward over the trestles spanning
scenic tributaries of the Potomac River and through
the historic cities of Fredericksburg and Richmond.
Make new friends and relax in comfortable Pullman
armchairs while white-jacketed attendants serve you
beverages, libations, and snacks.
Shortly before mid-day,
Dover Harbor will arrive at Williamsburg. Stroll back in time on
the eighteenth century streets in Colonial
Williamsburg. Enjoy
the beauty of the autumn colors in the restored gardens or
tour the historic sites (admission fee) during a five hour
visit (the historic district is approximately a six block
walk from Amtrak’s Boundary Street Station); or,
continue your train ride to the end of the line at
Newport News where you can visit attractions such as
the world famous Mariner’s Museum, a short taxi ride
from the Newport News station (admission fee).
Dover Harbor will depart
from Newport News in late afternoon with Amtrak’s Regional train #66, stopping at
Williamsburg on the way. A delicious supper will be
served while en route home to Alexandria and
Washington.
