Trains are a priceless opportunity to slow down and bring travelling back to its dimension of pure physical movement, for an exquisitely spiritual experience. There are trains that cross distant lands just as they once did, taking you on a journey back in time.

Prestigious cars, refined cuisine, and attention to detail and service make these vehicles of yesteryear true gems on rails. With Ultimate Places you can travel the old Trans-Siberian Railway, reaching the edges of Europe and the Arctic Circle, cross Mongolia and China following the route of Marco Polo, visit Spain, or explore Africa as you cross the Great Rift Valley.

The luxury trains we select are masterpieces of opulence and leisure, and you’ll feel like you’ve just stepped onto a film set.
