Luxury Train Travel

An extraordinary journey awaits you when you embark on a luxury train tour. The timeless romance of the rails is found in the details from the time you board your train and throughout the magnificent route it follows. Step aboard lovingly restored rail cars from the golden era of train travel and settle into well-appointed private accommodations. From the sumptuous fabrics and crisp linens to the rich wood tones and gleaming flatware, no aspect has been overlooked on these hotels on wheels. Revel in first-class services from start to finish, including gourmet meals and attentive onboard staff members who meet your every need. As the route unfolds, watch the scenery transform from your personal quarters or from the comfortable lounge cars, which are perfect for meeting fellow travelers or enjoying a nightcap.

Travelers may choose from luxury train vacations throughout Europe or even luxury cross-country train trips that focus on one specific region. Take the United Kingdom’s Royal Scotsman, for example, which travels through Scotland’s mysterious lochs and glens while traversing the spectacular Scottish Highlands. For a more untamed version of regional luxury train travel, select a journey featuring the Blue Train or the Pride of Africa, and relish in the breathtaking scenery and amazing wildlife of South Africa. A tour that joins the Venice Simplon-Orient Express allows you to discover the hidden gems of Western and Central Europe aboard historic carriages, whereas packages highlighted by a ride aboard the Danube Express include enigmatic destinations like Budapest, Istanbul and Prague. Of course, there are also luxury train lines that cover vast expanses of land, such as the Golden Eagle Trans Siberian Express, which makes a 6,000-mile journey across eight time zones while traveling from Moscow to the port town of Vladivostok in Russia.
