Helicopters, Trains, Cruises and RVs: Explore the USA in Unique Ways

Sometimes, the best parts of a trip come from the stretches of time spent between stops – watching the ground fall away from the cabin of a helicopter, chasing the horizon from the driver’s seat of an RV, or seeing a new port come into view from the deck of a cruise ship. In the USA, the ways to wander are as boundless as the landscape. These unique travel experiences welcome you to enjoy “getting there” by land, sea and sky.

Soar Above Dramatic Landscapes

There are countless ways to explore the USA’s most iconic landmarks and cities, but few are as thrilling as taking a helicopter tour. The next time you’re out west, elevate your itinerary with an aerial tour from Maverick Helicopters. Fly above the Hoover Dam and the Mojave Desert on your way to the Grand Canyon. See the casinos of the Las Vegas Strip from a new perspective. Glide past Hawai’i’s breathtaking waterfalls on Maui, and over the world’s largest sea cliffs on Moloka’i. Regardless of the tour you choose, it’ll be an experience you won’t soon forget.

See Florida by Train

There’s so much to see and do in Florida. From its windswept beaches and world-class nightlife to epic theme parks and award-winning cuisine, the Sunshine State offers year-round excitement. One of the most luxurious and convenient ways to travel from city to city in Florida is aboard a Brightline passenger train. Travel between six iconic destinations – including Miami, Orlando and Fort Lauderdale – and soak in the palm-lined scenery from the comfort of your railcar. Amenities include premium leather seats, free WiFi, wine, cocktails and a menu featuring charcuterie and light fare.

Cruise to Coastal Wonders

You know you’re traveling right when the journey is just as exciting as the destination. Cruises blend the best of both worlds with chef-driven cuisine, live entertainment and spectacular ports of call. Norwegian Cruise Line sets sail for dozens of destinations in the USA, including Miami, Florida; San Francisco, California, and bucket-list stops like Hawai’i and Alaska. Onboard, go for a thrill ride around the ship’s electric go-kart racetrack or take a hair-raising plunge down a multi-story waterslide. Not sure what to do at your destination?

CityPASS offers discounted, curated ticket bundles to the top attractions in 15 popular cities. In Boston, Massachusetts, bundle trips to the New England Aquarium and the Museum of Science with other attractions like a Boston Harbor City Cruise or the Franklin Park Zoo.
