Travel by rail
Rail travel in the United States is not as well developed as it is in Europe, and is not a popular way to travel, as service is typically slow and often inconvenient.
Amtrak (tel: +1 800 872 7245; www.amtrak.com) is the only commercial railway in the US providing passenger travel service across the country. The US and Mexican rail networks connect at Yuma (Arizona), El Paso (Texas) and Del Rio (Texas), with limited scheduled passenger services. There are several connections with the Canadian network, including New York-Montreal, Chicago-Toronto and Seattle-Vancouver services.
Rail passes:
Amtrak (www.amtrak.com) offers USA rail passes in 15-, 30-, and 45- day increments.
Driving to United States of America
By road, you can enter the United States from Canada to the north and from Mexico to the south. Delays at border crossings are common and may last for hours, particularly at busy checkpoints between the US and Mexico. For a full list of Canada-US and Mexico-US points of entry, their operating hours, and estimated wait times, consult the Customs and Border Protection (bwt.cbp.gov).
By road note:
In general, roadways in the USA are safe and well-maintained. The USA has a well-developed interstate system linking states; odd numbered interstates run north to south and even-numbered interstates run east to west. Many states, including Florida and New Jersey, have state 'turnpikes' that impose tolls on portions of their roadways.
Getting to United States of America by boat
Some of the US ports that welcome passengers in addition to cargo are Port of Anchorage (www.portofanc.com), Honolulu, Port of New Orleans (www.portno.com), New York (www.panynj.gov), Port of Miami (www.miamidade.gov/portofmiami), and Tampa Port Authority (www.tampaport.com). You can find a complete list of US ports on the Customs and Border Protection website (www.cbp.gov/contact/ports).
By water note:
Alaskan ports may have seasonal arrivals only, and do not operate year-round for passenger arrivals.
Cruise ships:
Numerous cruise lines sail from ports worldwide to both the east and west coasts. Cruises with most frequent departures from Europe to the US include Cunard (www.cunard.com), Norwegian (www.ncl.com), and Holland America (www.hollandamerica.com); however, most do not operate year-round.
Ferry operators:
Ferries from Canada to the USA operate on both coasts. Some of these ferries are passenger-only; others offer vehicle transport service as well. As with land crossings and train travel, ferries are not ideal options for those on a tight schedule.
