Summary

Starting Nov. 10, Amtrak will launch the “Floridian” line, a new daily service from Chicago to Miami.

The route merges Amtrak’s Capitol Limited and Silver Star lines due to ongoing repairs on the East River tunnel damaged by Superstorm Sandy.

The journey spans nearly 48 hours, with stops in Cleveland, Washington D.C., Orlando, and Tampa.

Coach tickets start at just over $100, while private rooms with added amenities like dining car meals, turndown service, and showers begin at $700. Café snacks and a dining car with various meal options are available.
