Belmond Royal Scotsman through the Highlands. The Maharajas' Express across Rajasthan. The Eastern & Oriental Express. Trains that are themselves the holiday.
Luxury train travel is having a renaissance. The Belmond family of trains, the Maharajas' Express, the Trans-Siberian and the Rocky Mountaineer all offer something planes can't: time, view, romance. We've booked travellers on every major luxury train route — we know which ones live up to the brochures (most do, surprisingly) and which offer the best experience for first-timers.
We book the most celebrated journeys: Belmond Royal Scotsman, Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, Maharajas' Express, Eastern & Oriental Express, Rocky Mountaineer.

The Belmond Royal Scotsman was a fiftieth birthday present to my husband. Three nights, six stops, every meal a tasting menu, the cabin like a 1920s drawing room. The bagpipe send-off had us both in tears. Magical, properly magical.
