Exploring The World By Rail

Train travel has long been considered one of the most convenient, relaxing, and enjoyable ways to travel from one destination to another, however there are a number of train journeys that take this experience to a whole new level. With luxurious trains outfitted with classic and supremely romantic décor from a bygone era, offering fine dining with white gloved service, exquisitely blended cocktails in the bar car and wonderful views of the rolling countryside.

Travel through the spectacular Rocky Mountains on the iconic Rocky Mountaineer with its gold Class dome carriages to optimize those incredible views and perhaps even spot a grizzly bear.  Enjoy a pisco sours in the bar car of the Andean Explorer as you journey through the Peruvian Andes or take the Indian Pacific straight across Australia. The Western and Oriental from Bangkok to Singapore reveals the beautiful Malaysian Highlands with exquisite service and ultimate Belmond Luxury, or perhaps board Southern Africa’s Rovos Rail, the perfect way to link the winelands with the delights of a Kruger safari. 

Whichever train journey you choose, rest assured that the blissful combination of world-class dining, attentive service, breath-taking scenery, and luxurious surrounds will create lasting memories to treasure.
