Yes, the trains from New York City to Orlando offered by Amtrak are overnight train routes. Both the Silver Meteor and Silver Star routes are over 21h long. These trains operate daily from New York to Miami.

No, there is no direct sleeper train from New York City to Orlando.

However, you can make the trip with a train connection that includes a sleeper car for the overnight portion. Here’s how it works:

The Route: Amtrak’s “Silver Service”

Two Amtrak trains run from New York to Florida on this route: the Silver Meteor and the Silver Star. Both originate at New York Penn Station and terminate in Miami, with stops in major Florida cities including Orlando.

The Sleeper Option

While these trains don’t run as exclusively “sleeper trains” (they have coach seats too), they offer private sleeping accommodations that you must book in advance. Options include: Roomette: A compact private cabin for 1-2 people with two seats that convert to beds, and upper/lower berths. Bedroom: A larger private cabin with an in-room toilet, shower, and a sofa and separate chair that convert to beds. Bedroom Suite: Connecting two bedrooms for more space.

All sleeper accommodations include: Meals in the dining car (included in your fare) Private, turn-down service Access to lounge facilities at major stations Priority boarding

Important Considerations

1. Travel Time: The trip takes roughly 20-24 hours, depending on the specific train and delays (Amtrak shares tracks with freight trains, which can cause slowdowns).
2. Cost: Sleeper accommodations are significantly more expensive than coach seats (often costing several hundred to over a thousand dollars, depending on demand
