Seven Belmond trains, from the restored Art Deco sleeping cars of the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express to the altiplano crossing in Peru.
Cabins are few and the best categories go a year ahead — tell us the journey and we hold the cabin, then build the hotels at either end around it.
The train that gave the genre its name — Art Deco sleeping cars restored to the standard of the 1920s, crossing the Alps overnight between Paris and Venice.

ExploreRail is the civilised way to reach Machu Picchu, and the only way to cross the altiplano in a bed. Both trains pair naturally with the Belmond houses in Cusco and the Sacred Valley.
Green and gold through the Malay peninsula, back on the rails after a four-year absence.
Cabin categories, departure dates and fares vary by season and by journey, and the grand suites go first — often a year out. We confirm live availability and pricing at the time of enquiry, and plan the hotels at either end as part of the same itinerary.
Private Hire
The British Pullman's Celia carriage seats twelve for a private celebration, and several of these trains take charters. Tell us the occasion and we will design the journey around it.
