LUXURY TRAIN RIDES & VACATIONS
Rail journeys transport you in style through some of the world's most astounding landscapes. There is no more elegant and comfortable way to traverse the many miles of ancient trade routes, absorbing the scenery of remote villages and rural life as you roll by en route to historic cities and far-flung monuments. Disembarking at local stations, get to know the diverse people, culture, ancient history, and architecture of each place with knowledgeable local guides who show you their corner of the world with personal insight and special experiences. For more adventure, GeoEx can bookend your luxury train vacation with tailor-made extensions.
The trains themselves are havens, luxury hotels on wheels with superb service, fine dining, and elegant surroundings. Unwind in well-appointed cabins, each with a view that constantly changes, and socialize in lounge and dining cars that bring to mind the halcyon days of dressing for dinner and cocktail hour. Unpack once, traveling without wasting time checking in and out of hotels or languishing in immigration lines at obscure airports with iffy connections. Everything you need is on board and an attendant is always standing by to assist with requests. Embark on a civilized journey, watching spectacular scenery slide by and relaxing in your private cabin.
