Imagine traveling through Europe, Japan, or Australia in style and comfort on a sleeper train. These trains offer a unique way to see the world, with luxurious accommodations and fine dining. From the UK’s Britannic Explorer to Japan’s Seven Stars in Kyushu, there are many options to choose from.
Luxury Sleeper Trains
The Britannic Explorer, owned and operated by Belmond, is a luxury sleeper train that showcases the iconic scenery of Wales and England’s Lake District and Cornwall regions. With just 18 sumptuous cabins, including three grand suites, the Art Deco-style accommodation is inspired by the landscapes of its destinations.
Italy’s La Dolce Vita Orient Express is another luxury sleeper train that offers a unique experience. The train features a bar car with live music and games, 12 glorious wood-lined cabins, and 18 master suites complete with double beds, a sofa, armchairs, and private bathroom.
Adventure and Scenic Routes
For those looking for a more adventurous experience, The Ghan in Australia is a great option. The train runs twice weekly over an 1,851-mile route spanning the length of Australia from Adelaide in the south to Alice Springs and Darwin in the Northern Territory. Each trip takes more than 53 hours, including extended stops at outposts such as Coober Pedy for passengers to experience the Outback during off-train tours.
