In 2021, I traveled on Amtrak's Viewliner train from NYC to Miami, enjoying a 20-square-foot roomette for $500. In 2025, after several European sleeper train experiences, I rode the upgraded Superliner from Denver to Salt Lake City for $400. Both roomettes shared a similar layout for two passengers, yet the Superliner boasted modern upgrades that made the experience cozier and more enjoyable. Amtrak is also refreshing its Superliner fleet, with plans for Viewliner upgrades in 2026, enhancing passenger comfort on overnight rides across the country.
The upgrades to the Superliner roomette made my ride significantly cozier compared to my first experience on the Viewliner, enhancing comfort.
Amtrak is refreshing its Superliner fleet, with 76% of the cars updated and plans for the Viewliner interior updates coming in 2026.
Superliner trains are designed for western routes, featuring a second story and communal space for sightseeing, unlike the single-story Viewliner.
Both roomettes accommodate two people comfortably, but modern enhancements in furnishings and amenities distinguish the more recent Superliner experience.
