TrainsAl AndalusFay says, "Al Andalus is a beautiful train with some carefully-restored historic Wagon Lits carriage, now operating on two routes in Spain. Romantic Andalucia visiting cities such as Seville, Cordoba and Granada, and the less-visited Extremadura region between Seville and Madrid. Use this remarkable heritage train as your hotel while you enjoy the Spanish sights, culture and gastronomy." Belmond Andean Explorer
From May 2017, the Belmond Andean Explorer will operate
along one of the world’s highest rail routes in the Peruvian Andes; some of the
most breath-taking scenery in the world. Belmond British PullmanFay says, "Experience the world-class luxury train style in one day on the British Pullman, sister train to the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, with a wealth of journeys from which to choose, starting from and returning to London as well as other favourite cities and towns in Great Britain. Imagine the delight of receiving one of these journeys as a gift. Step aboard and be taken back to the heyday of great train travel." Belmond Grand HibernianFay says, “Now is Ireland’s time, a Celtic awakening in the modern era. What better way to celebrate your Irish roots or to imbibe the very essence of the Emerald Isle than by travelling on the Grand Hibernian?” Belmond Hiram BinghamFay says, "Having travelled from far away, don't you owe it to yourselves and your shared memories to arrive at and overnight in Machu Picchu, roof of the world, in the Belmond style?" Belmond Northern BelleFay says, "The Belmond Northern Belle roams the English, Scottish and Welsh countryside, spreading the good news that luxury rail travel is back, with all the fine dining and superb service one would expect from a sister train to the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express. Many of these Northern Belle journeys would make a special gift for anyone." Belmond Royal ScotsmanFay says, “The majesty of the Scottish Highlands is the appropriate backdrop to the journeys by the Royal Scotsman; its unique and gracious carriages would be the envy of any private train owner of 100 years ago, whether royal, aristocratic or industrialist." Blue TrainFay says, "The 2-day journey on the renowned Blue Train between Pretoria and Cape Town is trouble-free and luxurious, fitting naturally into your touring plans for South Africa." Deccan OdysseyFay says,"What a lovely thought, a beauty salon in a train; an experience that is not quite of this world. The same could be said of some of the sites visited in Maharashtra." Eastern and Oriental ExpressFay says, "The Eastern and Oriental Express - superlative service, graciously offered, in the sumptuous surroundings of a luxury train from the same stable as the Venice Simplon-Orient Express; need I say more?" El Transcantabrico ClasicoEl Transcantábrico saloons are delights of railway heritage, some of them being original 1923 Pullman cars. All of the carriages have been specifically renovated and decorated for these luxury trains. This is a truly wonderful, evocative way of travelling around the beautiful landscapes of northern Spain, from Galicia to the shores of the Bay of Biscay, taking in the rich culture and cuisine of Asturias, Cantabria, the Basque Country, Castile and León. All the while, regional gastronomy, art, monuments and landscapes are presented to travellers from the comfort of a five-star 'train hotel'. El Transcantabrico Gran LujoFay says, "El Transcantabrico is a very special train that traverses the Atlantic-facing part of Spain known as España Verde, Green Spain, and its hinterland; passengers dine in regional restaurants and visit the best of the area's monuments and countryside. Every suite has a private bathroom, probably the best on a train anywhere in Europe (equalled only by its sister train Al Andalus), while each Gran Lujo Deluxe suite also has a private lounge." Golden EagleFay says, "Seeing dachas, steppes and far-reaching views from the comfort of your private suite is mesmerising, making it easy to imagine a distant time, horse-drawn sleighs, fur rugs and Cossack out-riders." Imperial RussiaTravelling in the luxury of the Imperial Russia train,
visiting many of the largest historical and cultural centres of the vast
Russian Empire, is an incredible way to journey through the heart of Russia.
One of the most famous railways in the world, the Trans-Siberian Railway is
thousands of kilometres long, running from the shores of the Baltic Sea to the
shores of the Pacific Ocean, with an important junction to the Trans-Mongolian
Railway. Maharajas' Express Fay says, “The Maharajas' Express is the embodiment of gracious living in the form of a luxury train, a style of travelling combined with a level of service that 19th century Indian royalty would recognize." Palace on WheelsFay says,"The Palace on Wheels was India's first luxury train in the post-Raj era, and continues to offer fine service in the classic Indian style." Pride of Africa, RovosFay says, "Rovos Rail has a style all its own; created by Rohan Vos in 1989, his very special train tours have matured into an harmonious blend of earthy African safari and traditional luxury - except that a divine soak in a full-sized bath in a train was always rare, even on Royal trains!" Royal Rajasthan on WheelsFay says,"The suites, in colours that match jewels in a Maharaja's turban or on a Maharani's wrist, are a sight difficult to credit on a train. The large panoramic windows allow the full impact of India to be viewed whilst reclining on comfortable divan beds." Shongololo ExpressFay says, "The Shongololo Express operates with a unique advantage - it carries its own excursion vehicles with it. Shongololo is the Zulu word for the large brown millipede, and indeed this long train is an impressive sight as it marches across the plains of southern Africa. This is a true safari experience, by rail." Tren CruceroFay says,"Crossing the Andes, between the Pacific Ocean and the plains for the interior, in this special little train is a a memorable adventure. Be welcomed en route in local communities, experience the High Andean way of life and traverse the valley of volcanoes; what an amazing experience, an highlight of a South American tour." Venice Simplon-Orient-ExpressFay says, "The Venice Simplon-Orient-Express plies an original route of the legendary train; panache, allure, continental charm, a heady mix of pre-war glamour and style deliver one of the world's top train journeys. Certainly the best-known luxury train, travelling on which gives one a sophisticated experience and life-long memories."
