Why Choose Train Travel?
Train travel offers one of the most energy-efficient modes of transport, providing travelers with a unique blend of relaxation, scenic indulgence, and reduced carbon footprints.
Traveling by train offers a way to experience the journey as part of the destination, immersing in landscapes that can’t be appreciated from the air. Trains also stand out for their lower carbon footprint compared to cars and planes, making them an eco-friendly option for environmentally conscious travelers.
With spacious seating and the freedom to move around, train travel provides a relaxed and social way to explore new destinations, connecting cities and countryside in a seamless narrative of discovery.
How Luxurious Can Train Travel Be?
Train travel can reach remarkable levels of luxury, offering passengers an experience that rivals that of some of the world’s finest high-end hotels. Belmond is a luxury train company that prides itself on its level of elegance – its fleet of vintage trains takes discerning travelers on some incredible adventures around the world, with itineraries spread across four continents.
These iconic journeys provide lavish interiors, gourmet dining, and attentive personal service, all while moving through breathtaking landscapes. On these trips, the journey itself becomes a highlight, showcasing the blend of comfort, elegance, and scenic beauty accessible on the rails. Our Ultimate Luxury: Scotland itinerary includes travel on the Belmond Royal Scotsman, a luxurious train that takes you through Scotland’s mesmerizing countryside and offers the perfect showcase of natural splendor and Scottish heritage.
We always make sure to book our customers first-class train journeys when they travel with us, unless there’s a genuine reason why this isn’t advised (in Sri Lanka, it’s actually better to travel in second-class as you can lean out the windows to take those amazing photographs).
