Discover the art of slow travel with our luxurious train journeys
Traveling by train is one of the best ways to travel across a continent or sample hard-to-reach areas, relaxing while gazing out at the passing scenery that’s often inaccessible by car. You’ll ride the rails in comfort and style, whether you’d like to embark on a short ride as part of a longer itinerary or prefer the train journey be the main focus of the experience. Either way, our travel experts can help make it happen.
Some of our most popular train journeys include Canada’s famous Rocky Mountaineer which rolls through the dramatic Rockies, South Africa’s classic Blue Train via Rovos Rail, and the heart-pounding adventure on the Devil’s Nose in Ecuador. The latter has a track that rises more than 2,000 vertical feet in just seven miles going forward before reversing to climb up the heart-pounding switchbacks. Another option is riding into the towering Andes to reach iconic Machu Picchu on the Hiram Bingham Express. Or when visiting Australia, cross between Sydney and Perth on the Indian Pacific and between Adelaide to Darwin riding the Ghan, ensuring an unforgettable trip. The Eastern & Oriental Express oozes sophistication by capturing the elegance of the 1920s and ‘30s while traveling through Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.

The route is the highest railway track in Europe and the steepest in the world, taking passengers through 55 tunnels and 196 bridges! Along the way, you will marvel at the dramatic changes in landscape from pine forests, up to the Eastern Alps’ highest mountain, Piz Bernina, at over 13,120 feet, along sparkling glaciers, frozen lakes (even in summer), deep gorges, and down into palm-filled streets.
