The 11 most luxurious train rides in the world

You’re in for iconic design, high-end service and absolute opulence on these dazzling journeys

John Bills

Travelling by rail can be one of the most luxurious ways of getting around. And no, we aren’t just talking about the Orient Express (though that is, indeed, very fancy). The world is full of opulent, luxe rail routes – and they come in all shapes and sizes. Some are veritable palaces on wheels, whilst others offer dazzling views or fine dining, and they offer you the chance to see the world at a much more leisurely pace – no zooming past mountains here. 

But it’s not just the journey worth boarding for. So many routes are built around packages for travellers which often include plenty of day trips and stop-offs around every corner – kind of like a cruise. It isn’t just the train that’s fancy, it’s the entire trip, so get ready to be amazed, as here is our pick of the very best luxury train routes from across the world.

Best luxury train rides in the world

Rocky Mountaineer

1.  Rocky Mountaineer

Faultless service, delicious food and comfortable seats are all an integral part of the luxury train experience, but you can’t beat the overwhelming majesty of nature. Canada ’s Rocky Mountaineer train understands this, hence the panoramic views, opening up the wonder of the route between Vancouver and Banff for all to enjoy. Sure, economy seats are available, but they don’t come with the views, so go all out and allow yourself this top-notch two-night experience. 

The Deccan Odyssey

2.  The Deccan Odyssey

India knows exactly how to put together a luxury tourist train. A spin-off of the famed Palace on Wheels, the Deccan Odyssey offers six different routes, from the hidden splendour of Gujarat to the natural magic of Maharashtra, but you can’t really go wrong with any of them. It is mind-bendingly expensive (tickets start at $8,330 or £6,500), but who expects low prices to follow the word ‘luxury’? Fools, that’s who. You are basically travelling in a limousine on wheels across one of the world’s biggest countries, after all. 

The Ghan

3.  The Ghan

Australia is a land of iconic travel experiences, and a trip on The Ghan is right up there, a trundling train treat that coasts from Darwin to Adelaide . Keen geographers will realise that the train runs from the very northern tip of Australia to the bottom, making The Ghan a unique way to see the heart of this fantastic nation. There isn’t a whole lot in the centre of Australia (a lot of camels, by the way), but the overwhelming immensity of it all is incredible. The name is a shortened take on the route’s original moniker, The Afghan Express. 

Venice Simplon-Orient-Express

4.  Venice Simplon-Orient-Express

When one thinks of luxurious trains, the Orient Express immediately forces its way into the discussion. How could it not? This iconic train has been immortalised in literature, cinema and everything else since it first set off in 1883, covering the distance between Paris and Istanbul (then Constantinople) in less than 76 hours. It was known as the world’s most luxurious train for a reason, all glass panels, refined leather seats and beds that offered the sort of sleep that, yes, travellers can only dream of. Seven historic cars have been renovated for the modern day, bringing the 1800s glamour into the twenty-first century.  

Seven Stars in Kyushu

5.  Seven Stars in Kyushu

Japan ’s finest luxury train experience is undoubtedly the Seven Stars in Kyushu, a circular tour from Hakata that runs through Nagasaki and Yufuin over two days. A four-day option is also available, perfect for those who have money to spare and are looking for a seven-star (yes,  seven ) railway experience. Trains in Japan are a thing of wonder, but there is something about the Seven Stars that makes it stand out. It is a gorgeous celebration of Japanese art, from the walls to the cabins to washbasins. 

The Eastern & Oriental Express

6.  The Eastern & Oriental Express

The world-famous Orient Express is somewhat incorrectly titled, seeing as it travels around Europe and Europe alone. But this route from Bangkok to Singapore ticks more boxes on the moniker front. It also runs through a stretch of scenery that will take your breath away, if that breath hasn’t already been snatched by the onboard decor and tremendous service. Ancient wonders and cosmopolitan cities collide (not literally) in a blur of exquisite glamour aboard this stunner. Tickets can stretch upwards of $3,200 (£2,700), but you very much pay for what you get. 

Rovos Rail

7.  Rovos Rail

Africa ’s premium train journey experience is undoubtedly the Rovos Rail, with a variety of trips available covering everything from 48-hour runs to 15-day explorative itineraries. These bespoke trains are a sight to behold, with gorgeous armchairs and all the wine one can handle waiting within. Throw in a stunning dining car, observation decks and a total absence of TV and radio, and you’ve got a nostalgic experience to remember.

8.  The Heritage Palace on Wheels

The Heritage Palace on Wheels (FKA The Palace on Wheels) has 14 luxurious cabins with all the mod cons, but it is the dining section on this beauty that really take the breath away. The food is spectacular in and of itself, but the decor and design make dining on the Heritage Palace on Wheels one of India ’s great romantic experiences. The famous name has since incorporated the Royal Rajasthan on Wheels into its stable, although the insecurity of the past few years has rendered the train’s future somewhat uncertain. Climb aboard while you still can.

9.  The Blue Train

Traversing the 1,600km or so between Pretoria and Cape Town by train is one of South Africa ’s most amazing travel experiences, so why not go all out and embrace the luxury of it all? One of the fanciest trains on the planet, The Blue Train styles itself as a window into the soul of Africa and we’re inclined to agree.  

The Royal Scotsman

10.  The Royal Scotsman

The UK ’s most famous train now exists as an opulent reminder of a very different time. The name remains in use as modern trains hurtle between Edinburgh and London , but those looking to climb aboard the iconic locomotive of yesteryear must dig deep into their pockets and dress to the nines as they do. Still, it is worth it, right? The Flying Scotsman is an exercise in British luxury, a time machine to the nineteenth century through the eyes of a very wealthy traveller indeed.  

11.  Belmond Andean Explorer

South America ’s first luxury sleeper train first set off in May 2017, bringing the romance of the rails to this most romantic of continents. The train runs from Cusco (the capital of the Incan Empire, no less) to the white city of Arequipa, showcasing the best of the Peruvian Andes along the way.

The World’s Most Glamorous Train Journeys

From whisky tours through Scotland to cruising alongside Napa Valley vineyard, train travel is more glam than ever.

By Kim Ayling

royal scotsman train

The train journey has gone through many a rebrand. Once upon a time, it was the epitome of elegance, with wealthy travel makers hopping aboard to leave cityscapes in their wake. Slowly, it molded into the carriage of the commuter, with train travel becoming more associated with lengthy delays and seat-hunting than luxury pursuits.

Nowadays, however, we are in a fresh Golden Age of train travel . Yes, those cramped quarters still exist for some, but the re-emergence of luxury trains more akin to a hotel on wheels has transformed the allure of slow travel.

With more and more people trying to adopt slow-travel habits (as well as those pursuing new luxury experiences), the popularity of train travel has spiked exponentially in recent years. We have chosen a selection of the best luxury trains in the world, each of which not only offers spellbinding onboard experiences but also the promise to see new lands from an alternative perspective.

Venice-Simplon Orient Express, Europe

Venice Simplon-Orient-Express

The Venice-Simplon Orient Express ’s reputation precedes it. The iconic train – which is owned by Belmond – is made up of carriages from the original Orient Express, which dates back to the late 1800s (in other words, the heyday of rail travel). The present-day iteration still exudes the same level of glamor and prestige (as well as notoriety for sleepless nights of partying). 

Following a continuous route through Europe (with the option to book just one night or tag multiple destinations together), Venice-Simplon Orient Express is a vision of Art Deco glamor. The original carriages have been meticulously restored and now offer lavish suites, a lively bar car (which hosts Midnight Brunches), and three dining carriages with fine food courtesy of Jean Imbert. This is about as decadent as train travel gets.

Royal Scotsman, Scotland

royal scotsman best luxury train interior

Scotland is adored for its stunning scenery, and the famous Royal Scotsman , a Belmond Train is the perfect way to see it. As you’d expect of a Belmond-run operation, the train is about as luxurious as they come with private cabins decked in glossy wood paneling (including all-new Grand Suites, set to launch next year), two dining cars, an observation lounge and even a spa carriage. 

The Royal Scotsman offers a variety of itineraries through the nation’s wild landscape, from adrenaline-fueled survival adventures to week-long tours of the famous highlands. Stops along the way will highlight the very best of Scottish culture and history, including wild swimming, whisky tasting and castle visits.

British Pullman, UK

Belmond British Pullman

The British Pullman is a classic of its own time, regularly shuttling the country’s most respectable folk into the depths of the pretty English countryside. Leaving from London Victoria station (i.e. a commuter’s hell) might feel odd initially, but the minute the train pulls away from the station, luxury envelops. The British Pullman has 11 carriages, each of which offers a unique interior theme, from the emerald Wes Anderson-designed space to the Phoenix car, which is said to have been the favorite of Queen Elizabeth II.

Unlike other luxury trains, the British Pullman doesn’t offer multi-day trips, instead opting for single-day jaunts to various corners of England. Onboard, guests are treated to a multitude of glam dining experiences, from champagne-laden afternoon teas to Michelin-starred guest chef evenings.

From $490 per person,  belmond.com

Maharajas’ Express, India

maharajas' express train

Mainly centered around the royal state of Rajasthan, the Maharajas’ Express offers a tantalizing glimpse into the majestic country that is India . The luxury train’s four distinct itineraries spread across northwest and central India, calling at over 12 destinations including Mumbai, Jaipur, Agra and Udaipur.

At almost half a mile long, onboard space is plentiful on the Maharajas’ Express. Fine dining is offered in two distinct restaurants, with a further two lounge and bar carriages. There are four cabin types, but for the height of luxury, the Presidential Suite is a no-brainer. Covering 448 sq ft, the sprawling suite has two bedrooms, a private living room and two bathrooms. Access to a private chauffeured car for off-board excursions sweetens the deal. 

From $3,850 per person,  the-maharajas.com

Napa Valley Wine Train, USA

wine train Napa Valley

The best way to see Napa ? By train, of course. The Napa Valley Wine Train cruises its way through the famous wine region, offering a variety of one-day excursions including gourmet lunches, afternoon teas and themed murder mystery dinners. For a full immersion into wine country, go for The Legacy Experience which, as well as a four-course meal, includes stops at several wineries for immersive tastings.

The train itself is suitably glam, with a series of vintage carriages reformed to their former glory. Each features its own distinct style, from the plush décor of the 1015 Pullman Dining Car to the amazing vistas of the two-story Dome Car. There’s even an open-air carriage to breathe in that fresh wine-country air.

From $225 per person,  winetrain.com

Belmond Hiram Bingham, South America

Belmond Hiram Bingham

Belmond’s Hiram Bingham train only covers one specific route, but it’s a good one. Departing from the city of Cusco, Hiram Bingham takes a leisurely route through the Sacred Valley on its way to Machu Picchu, where guests can disembark for a tour of the ancient Incan citadel. A hearty lunch is served on the outward journey, while a four-course Peruvian feast (and a serious selection of cocktails) awaits on the return portion. 

Onboard, the carriages are as luxe as you’d expect, with glam Art Deco style dining carriages, as well as more informal bar cars. Your Hiram Bingham train journey can also be combined with stays at Belmond’s other properties in the region to create an unforgettable South American adventure.
