Amtrak's 'Mardi Gras' Line Service Returns, Revitalizing Gulf Coast Travel
The first official 'Mardi Gras' line service departed this week, marking a significant milestone for Southern travel. The train, which is part of Amtrak's cross-country Sunset Limited line, was previously a lifeline for the Gulf Coast region before Hurricane Katrina. The service departed completely sold out, signaling a new era of exploring the Gulf Coast.
The train's revival is a symbol of the Gulf Coast's resilience. It connects New Orleans and Mobile, transforming a stressful drive along the coast into a scenic, car-free adventure. The service offers four stops in Mississippi: Bay St. Louis, Gulfport, Biloxi, and Pascagoula, each offering a unique slice of coastal life.
The train offers onboard comforts such as no middle seats, ample legroom, reclining seats, and free Wi-Fi. Both Coach and Business classes have access to café service onboard. Fares start at $15 for one-way, end-to-end travel, with cheaper tickets for shorter hops between Mississippi towns.
The 'Mardi Gras' line service is a win for travelers looking for smarter ways to explore the U.S. It offers a more sustainable and enjoyable way to travel the Gulf Coast, contributing to the region's economic recovery and tourism industry.
