The trip departs August 28. Prices start at $113,599 per person.

“Customers’ demand for luxury rail continues to grow, and in response, we’ve created the ultimate bucket-list trip,” said Frank Marini, Railbookers CEO and President. “We’ve seen a trend toward combining itineraries that include multiple luxury trains, so we’ve tailored this itinerary to include smaller, customizable itineraries that feature these iconic trains as highlights from our industry-leading luxury rail collection.”

Travelers can experience the entire 80-day journey or book shorter segments of the journey. The trip includes hotel accommodations, sightseeing, and transfers between train journeys. Air travel between destinations is the responsibility of the traveler.

Around the World by Luxury Train starts in Vancouver and continues to European cities including Budapest, Edinburgh, Florence, London, Paris, Rome and Venice. From Europe, it travels to India, South Africa and Southeast Asia before ending in Singapore.
