Join me for the final leg of my Amtrak sleeper train adventure across the U.S.—from jazzy New Orleans to the bright lights of New York City aboard the Crescent! 🚆
Part 4 of my cosy train travel series is here, and this one’s a mix of Southern charm, big city dreams, and sleeper car butter cakes (yes, really). I also spent the most I’ve ever spent on an Amtrak ticket for this ride — their most luxurious room, the Bedroom.

For 33 hours, I cozied up in a Bedroom (yep, the fancy one with a private bathroom!) and rolled through bayous, forests, college towns, and buzzing cities—right up the East Coast. The Crescent may not get as much hype as the Zephyr or the Coast Starlight, but wow, it delivers a totally different kind of magic.

As a 'solo female traveler' (with a Swedish husband occasionally tagging along), I’ll take you inside my sleeper cabin, spill the pros and cons of the Bedroom setup, and share all the unexpected little joys (and quirks) that come with slow travel by train.

In this episode you’ll find:
• A real in-room shower on a moving train 🚿 (and whether it’s actually usable… kinda)
• A middle-of-the-night bathroom moment that felt like pure luxury 💫
• Keeping somewhat fit strategy on a train journey across the country🚶‍♀️💪
• And of course, a big arrival in NYC’s iconic Moynihan Train Hall 🗽

Also, did I jinx my perfect on-time streak by going full luxury? You’ll have to see…

This was the perfect end to a dreamy train adventure across the U.S.—full of warm meals, slow mornings, and views that unfold one mile at a time. If you're curious about Amtrak Bedrooms, long-distance sleeper trains, or just love the slow-travel life, I hope this gives you all the inspo you need.

Grab a snack (or three), and come along for one last ride. Thanks for joining me on this whole series—it’s been a journey. 💛
PS. What’s the FIRST thing you’d do after 33 hours on a train? Let me know below 👇

Hej hej from the rails! I’m Chloé — a Kiwi travel creator exploring the world one awkward train moment at a time. My husband Ludvig (dry humour, Swedish passport) joins when he can. Together, we seek out the quirkiest journeys, comfiest cabins, and always squeeze in a touch of luxury when we can (okay, that part’s mostly my idea 😅). We’re all about making travel fun, relatable, and a little bit weird — with a side of scenic magic.💛

Some links are affiliate, which means we might earn a small commission (at no extra cost to you). It helps keep the adventures going — and pays for coffee when the train café runs out of it. And honestly? Every time you use one, it triggers a little happy dance on my end. 🕺 So thank you!
