This 12-night itinerary covers three very different sides of America — the East Coast skyline, the desert thrill of Vegas & the Grand Canyon, and the California coastline.
Two proven 12-night routes — choose based on whether you want the East + West Coast classic, or a family-special with Orlando theme parks instead of Niagara & the Grand Canyon.
Route: 3N New York → 1N Niagara Falls → 2N Las Vegas (+ Grand Canyon day tour) → 2N Los Angeles → 2N San Francisco
Best for: First-timers who want the full classic America experience — skyline, nature, neon and coastline in one trip. Add the Pacific Coast Highway (Big Sur, Monterey, Carmel-by-the-Sea) between LA and SF if you have extra days — one of the world's most scenic drives.
Route: 3N New York → 2N Orlando → 2N Las Vegas → 2N Los Angeles → 2N San Francisco. Swaps Niagara & the Grand Canyon for Disney World and Universal Orlando — ideal with younger kids.
Best for: Families with younger kids — more theme-park time, less long-distance driving, and the same East-to-West Coast arc.
Outlet malls along the route offer some of the best shopping prices of the whole trip.
Excellent Indian food is available throughout this itinerary — you're never far from a familiar meal.
