From Blues to Rock to Broadway

From soulful blues and jaw-dropping skyline views to legendary rock ’n’ roll and the bright lights of Broadway — this epic three-city rail adventure showcases the very heart of America’s cultural story. Begin in Chicago, the birthplace of electric blues and a city packed with iconic attractions, deep-dish dining, and world-class museums. Then follow the tracks east to Cleveland, the spiritual home of rock music and proud host of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, where music history comes alive on the shores of Lake Erie. Your journey concludes in the city that never sleeps — New York — where every street feels like a movie scene and Broadway’s world-famous theatres set the stage for unforgettable evenings.

Travel between cities aboard comfortable Amtrak rail services and enjoy the scenery unfold as you transition seamlessly from one iconic destination to the next — no airport stress, just pure adventure. Whether you’re a music lover, a culture seeker, or simply looking for a fresh way to experience the USA, this itinerary captures the rhythm, energy, and excitement of America’s greatest cities.
