Luxury Train Vacations
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.
