While many ships offer voyages through the Panama Canal, there is only one iconic 'Queen' liner that offers a rare transit of this wonder of the world, the new QUEEN ELIZABETH. Heir to the grand tradition established by the original Queen Mary, the original Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Elizabeth 2, this great new Cunard liner combines a fabled 170 year heritage of seagoing excellence with all the modern amenities one would enjoy in a modern Five-star resort. Nicer still, by combining this extraordinary voyage through the Panama Canal and adding in comfortable train travel to & from the ship from your hometown, we have crafted a holiday that is convenient, and allows you to see a good deal of this great country both coming and going. Depending on where you live, you can enjoy travel on such famous trains as the Lake Shore Limited, the Empire Builder and the Coast Starlight, even stopping to visit family or friends if you wish. In any event, we take care of all of your train arrangements for you; reserving the space that you desire, arranging the best routing, all of it. Best of all, after your stay in California, you may choose to travel home aboard the famed Southwest Chief across the Navajolands of the Great Southwest or the storied California Zephyr over the storied 'Mainline through the Rockies' of the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad, a visual treat of epic proportions with Glenwood Canyon, the Continental Divide and the Front Range of the Rockies. No other Panama Canal voyage offers you the mesas of New Mexico or the snowbound Colorado Rockies, only Train Holidays.

Despite such beautiful sights on this voyage as Costa Rica, the actual path through the jungle of the Panama Canal, vibrant Acapulco and ruggedly beautiful Cabo San Lucas at the tip of Baja not all of the grandeur and beauty is outside. Inside QUEEN ELIZABETH, regal public rooms that evoke the golden age of Ocean travel await, from the two-story Library, the resplendent Royal Court Theatre, the Golden Lion Pub and nicest of all, the grand two deck-high Queen's Room, complete with chandeliers for traditional afternoon tea daily and big band dancing every night. With a wide choice of dining options, from casual to opulent, a complete spa and health club and more amenities than most small cities, there is simply no finer way to see the Panama Canal. There is even a Games Deck with croquet and lawn bowling!

Lastly, our program offers a unique 'One Call does it all' arrangement for the cruise of your lifetime through the Panama Canal on the newest, grandest liner in years. We expertly arrange your train travel with your preferred routing, your hotel stay, and your cabin choice aboard QUEEN ELIZABETH as well as travel home from California. Our entire staff has traveled on Cunard Line dozens of times and has done every Amtrak route, so there is no question we do not know the answer to. In short, this one-time voyage has only one flaw, it will sell out quickly and prompt reservations are encouraged. All Aboard.
