Journeys by Private Train & Jet
To travel by private train is to experience traditional train travel from a bygone era but with modern comforts for the everyday traveller and distances that our forefathers could only dream of. The tours we feature by private train offer access to some of the most remote places in the world and itineraries are designed to take in some of the most exotic and culturally diverse destinations the world has to offer. After an informative and enjoyable day exploring you will return to the sanctuary of your hotel on wheels to be greeted by your cabin attendants with refreshments. Join us onboard and travel the Trans-Siberian route, the Silk Road, across India, through South Africa or beautiful landscapes of Namibia.
