Rail or Sail Across America with New Trips of a Lifetime!

With the USA once again open for international travellers, Fred. Holidays is offering two brand new trips of a lifetime

With the USA once again open for international travellers, Fred. Holidays is offering two brand new trips of a lifetime: a 3000-mile coast-to-coast rail journey from San Francisco to New York and a complete Mississippi cruise from Louisiana to Minnesota.

The exciting 15-day coast-to-coast rail journey onboard Amtrak takes you from the wonderful West Coast to the enigmatic East Coast via five major American cities – San Francisco, Los Angeles, Flagstaff, Chicago and New York – and also includes visits to Alcatraz and the Grand Canyon. Prices from £3,429 per person for return economy flights from London, 10 nights’ room only hotel accommodation, day rail from San Francisco to Los Angeles, three nights’ sleeper class accommodation onboard Amtrak overnight services with meals and selected drinks, a half-day tour of San Francisco including ferry and entrance to Alcatraz and excursion to the Grand Canyon. Price is based on two adults sharing a room departing London Heathrow on 3rd November 2022.

The 22-day complete Mississippi river cruise with American Cruise Lines travels the length of this mighty river from Louisiana to Minnesota and features 22 ports of call in ten US states. From the vibrant cultural centre of the “Big Easy” to the dramatic landscapes of the Upper Mississippi, experience life as it once was on the western frontier. Expert guides will take you to the grand southern plantations, stately antebellum houses, and Civil War battlefields of the Lower Mississippi.

Taste the finest Cajun and Creole and enjoy mouth-watering Memphis BBQ as you travel to the birthplace of Jazz, Blues, and Rock–n-Roll. Cruising up the river, Hometown Americana takes centre stage. Relive the adventures of Mark Twain’s time on a trolley ride through Hannibal, his boyhood hometown. Experience the legacy of John Deere in Davenport and the Victorian-era elegance of Dubuque. As you continue north, pasture gives way to forest and the wild life of Minnesota and Wisconsin comes into view. There are four departures on 10th June, 20th July and 10th September 2022 and 9th June 2023 with prices from £8,106 per person for the 22-day cruise with all meals, shore excursions and gratuities.
