Luxury Rail Journeys

Sometimes, the journey itself becomes the destination.

Luxury rail travel offers something that air travel cannot — the ability to watch a landscape change gradually, to share meals in a dining car, and to arrive at a destination having already experienced the journey between. The best rail journeys in the world are genuinely memorable in their own right.

Selected Highlights

Examples We Often Arrange

01
Venice Simplon-Orient-Express

London to Venice, Paris or Istanbul. The original luxury train — dining cars, private cabins and a genuine sense of occasion.

02
The Ghan, Australia

Adelaide to Darwin through the Australian outback — 3,000 kilometres of ancient landscape over two nights.

03
Seven Stars in Kyushu

Japan's most refined train experience — a four-day journey through Kyushu with private suites and kaiseki dining.

04
Andean Explorer, Peru

Cusco to Lake Titicaca and Arequipa through the Andes — one of the highest railway journeys in the world.

05
Rovos Rail, South Africa

Cape Town to Pretoria or Tanzania — the "most luxurious train in the world", with private suites and excellent cuisine.

Our Thoughts

Luxury rail is particularly well-suited to travellers who want an immersive, unhurried experience — and who appreciate the social quality of shared dining and common areas. It is not for those who prioritise speed. The Orient-Express and The Ghan are our most frequently arranged rail experiences.
