Accompanying the Kitchi Gammi Club will be the Pullman car Pacific Island, a 1950s-era sleeper lounge car.

10 individual overnight tickets, 6 double-bedroom overnight tickets, and a limited number of one-way tickets are available for the Amtrak portion of the trip. All overnight tickets include dinner and breakfast and access to both cars. Tickets for a berth section aboard the Kitchi Gammi Club are $950. Tickets for a private, overnight double bedroom for two passengers aboard the Pacific Island are $2,500. One-way individual tickets between Waterloo and Chicago and Chicago and Grand Rapids are $325 and $355, respectively. Passengers will be responsible for their return travel, lodging, and accommodation.
