The historic name Orient-Express is pretty much synonymous with “ultra-luxury train travel." While not the same train, Belmond's luxury carriages runs from London to Paris, Venice and Istanbul. Escape into a world of timeless glamour in carefully restored 1920s cabins, rich with craftsmanship. After a leisurely breakfast, your steward whisks away the beds to return the cabin to a sitting area. Plush sofas provide the perfect spot to watch the scenery unfold. At night, climb the upholstered ladder to your upper berth or cosy up under crisp sheets on the bottom bunk. Think embossed leather for Istanbul, chic furnishings for Paris and handcrafted Venetian glass.
