Fall, winter and spring tours announced with option of private group bookings
Fort Myers, FL (June 8, 2015)— All Aboard Travel, Southwest Florida’s premier cruise and tour package travel agency, announced details regarding fall, winter and spring sightseeing motorcoach tours for 2015 into 2016. The four trips, exclusively for All Aboard Travel clients, include Pennsylvania’s Amish Country; Florida’s historic St. Augustine and Amelia Island; Savannah’s renowned Southern Hospitality; and a private group booking to Biloxi and New Orleans. The motorcoach tours provides area travelers with an exciting new departure for All Aboard Travel, which previously focused predominantly on pre- and post-cruise vacation packages and added amenities for its cruise clientele.
“We are thrilled to be able to provide four unique and historically-driven sightseeing tours. From exploring the beautiful fall foliage in the Amish areas of Lancaster County to boarding a vessel to take in the twinkling lights of our Nights of Lights boat cruise, there is something for everyone,” said Jody Ryland, Vice President of All Aboard Travel. “Given our tremendous success in offering our exclusive packages to our cruise clients, they have asked us to provide similar land-based vacation options with our trademark All Aboard Travel expertise. We anticipate that the tours we have crafted will appeal to a wide variety of travelers located in the greater Southwest Florida area.”
All Aboard Travel’s specialized group travel offerings include:
Lancaster County Amish Heritage – September 27 – October 2, 2015
Colorful fall foliage and quaint Amish countryside scenes will delight travelers taking part in this 5-night trip through Pennsylvania’s Lancaster County. Guests will experience the picturesque scenery, the colorful array of exquisite handmade quilts and unique country crafts at local Amish Quilt and Craft Shops, and visit the Strasburg Railroad – which offers a nostalgic glimpse of railroading’s glorious past. Guests will travel through Pennsylvania Dutch Country as an authentic steam locomotive pulls the group past working farms amid Amish country. This multi-day excursion will also include an energy packed performance of “Joseph” at the Sight & Sound Theater. Sight & Sound’s larger-than-life staging features scenes like the spectacular Egyptian palace, which spans 300 feet and wraps around three sides of the audience.

The display of lights was chosen by National Geographic in 2011 and 2012 as one of the 10 best holiday lighting displays in the world. From there, guests will tour Jacksonville – exploring its secret underground tunnels and immersing themselves in its Riverside/Avondale neighborhood, which is on the National Registry of Historic Places. Finally, participants will enjoy the beautiful sights of Amelia Island and Cumberland Island. This excursion will offer an extensive and rich history of both of the islands, with views of wildlife along the way.

From there, guests will then head to the “Big Easy.” In New Orleans, this group will enjoy an in-depth city tour including stops in the French Quarter, French Market, the old U.S. Mint and The Court of Two Sisters Jazz Brunch. While this is a private group tour, it highlights what All Aboard Travel can tailor to specific needs of clients and special groups.
