Luxury on the Rails in Europe and Beyond

Chicago, Illinois — The thought of luxury rail calls to mind a bygone era of train travel where it wasn't so much about the destination, it was about the journey itself. The days of old can be relived once again-but with all of today's amenities- thanks to opulent rail journeys that transport travelers back in time.

"Luxury rail journeys incorporate all of the romantic elements of the golden age of train travel: refurbished vintage rail cars traveling legendary train routes, refined sleeping accommodations, sumptuous meals, and attentive cabin stewards" commented Todd Powell, president of Vacations By Rail.

Vacations By Rail offers luxury rail journeys aboard four of Europe's famed trains including the Golden Eagle Trans-Siberian Express making the 6,000-mile journey from European Russia to the Russian Far East and Mongolia, the Venice Simplon-Orient Express linking London and Venice with amazing cities in western and central Europe, the Royal Scotsman traversing the Scottish Highlands, and the Danube Express traveling to the best of Central Europe. Each train offers several attractive itineraries and includes private sleeping cabins, gourmet meals, select beverages, and unique sightseeing. Two to 16 day luxury rail journeys in Europe start at $3,720 land-only, per person based on double occupancy.

The lap of luxury extends outside of Europe. Vacations By Rail offers enticing luxury vacations aboard Canada's Royal Canadian Pacific, Africa's Blue Train, the China Orient Express and the Shangri-La Express through China, and India's Deccan Odyssey.
