A first-of-its-kind trip in 2024 will take travellers across the
globe in first-class style onboard the world’s most iconic luxury
trains.
Railbookers’ 2019 “Around the World by Rail” holiday, includes trips
aboard Rovos Rail in South Africa, the Maharajas’ Express through India,
Singapore’s Eastern & Oriental Express, Canada’s Rocky Mountaineer,
and classic European journeys including the Golden Eagle Danube
Express, Belmond Royal Scotsman, and the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express.
Railbookers also offers several shorter itineraries built around each
of the luxury trains and destinations featured in the 80-day voyage.
“The demand for luxury rail from our customers continues to grow, and
in response, we’ve created the ultimate bucket-list trip,” said
Railbookers president & CEO, Frank Marini.
“As we’ve seen a trend to combine itineraries to include multiple
luxury trains, we’ve tailor-made this itinerary along with smaller,
customisable itineraries featuring these iconic trains as a highlight of
our industry-leading luxury rail collection.
“Best of all, once the train ride is through, Railbookers takes care
of hotel, sightseeing, transfers and more at the destination for a
complete one-call solution. We’re thrilled to give our travel advisors
and guests an opportunity to see the world right outside their window in
total luxury.”
The trip begins in Vancouver and continues through European cities
Budapest, Edinburgh, Florence, London, Paris, Rome, and Venice.
Air connections will allow travellers to see Delhi, Mumbai and
Istanbul in Asia, as well as Cape Town and Johannesburg, South Africa.
The once-in-a-lifetime journey wraps up in South-east Asia, exploring
Singapore and Malaysia.
Travellers will make their own international air travel arrangements,
while the trip is inclusive of private ground transfers at destinations
as well as all sightseeing and activities listed in the itinerary.
