The Christmas season goes by all too fast, and often it’s a blur of stress and obligation. This year, slow down and enjoy this special time of year with a perfect outing to share with a special someone. It’s sure to make memories that you’ll look back on for many Christmases to come.

There’s something so timeless about a train ride - so it’s fitting to see a play about Christmases past, present, and future aboard a train as it rolls down the tracks. And that’s exactly what you’ll do when you watch Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” on a special Rhode Island train ride!

Departing from Portsmouth on Friday and Saturday evenings in December, this 2.5 hour theatrical experience will blow you away. It’s limited to ages 12 and up, so don’t be mistaken - this is not a kids’ event.

This is the kind of performance people pay to see in theaters, so getting to watch it at the comfort of a dining table in a gorgeous train adds an extra level of delight.

As you roll down the tracks, you’ll enjoy a delicious holiday meal - you can choose from beef tenderloin, ham, or turkey. There’s also a full bar aboard the train.
