This idyllic train runs along the coastline Pacific Northwest coastline, taking you all the way from Vancouver to Seattle for $40.

The cross-border trip is filled with ocean and mountain views that will have your eyes glued to the window, as you go past spectacular scenery.

You can skip the border traffic with the Amtrak Cascades, which has round trips between Seattle and Vancouver, and six round trips between Seattle and Portland.

There are daily round-trip train services on this route, with two round trips a day between Seattle and Vancouver. From there you can hop on one of the four daily trips between Seattle and Portland, if you want to go even further.

The European-style trains have lots of space so you can settle in with a good book and feel like you're in a movie. The best part is that you don't have to drive, you can just sit back and play passenger princess.

The trip is full of natural beauty, but the destinations offer a city escape too. You can shop around the local boutiques and cafes in Seattle, to make for a perfectly balanced getaway.

A one-way ticket from Vancouver to Seattle varies from around $40 - $80 depending on the service and when your trip is. You can book your trip on the Amtrak Cascades website.
