Luxury Rail’s Renaissance:
THE GROWING
APPEAL OF
TRAIN TRAVEL
W
ith a wave of new trains and routes debuting across Europe
and beyond, luxury rail is entering a new golden age, o昀昀ering
groups more choice than ever before.
Luxury rail travel is enjoying a revival. As more travellers seek the unhurried
charm of slow journeys, and as sustainability edges higher on the agenda,
the glamour of gilded carriages and panoramic windows has found fresh
relevance.
For corporate and incentive groups, luxury rail offers something truly distinctive:
the chance to combine more sustainable travel with spectacular scenery,
unique experiences and private, fully customisable spaces that encourage
connection, exclusivity and shared memories in motion.
And with a slew of new trains and journeys launching across
the UK, Europe and beyond, there is more choice than
ever for groups looking to make the journey itself the
ultimate reward.
We explore what’s hot in the world of luxury rail,
starting with brand-spanking new trains from two
of the best-known brands in the space – Orient
Express, which has been thoughtfully brought
back to life by Accor – and Belmond.
