Railbookers, the world’s largest and foremost rail tour operator, is finding that swanky rail-based experiences are trending strongly on today’s travel scene. Over the past year, the company has witnessed an incredible surge of over 46 percent in bookings featuring luxury train travel, as compared to the same period last year.

These lavish journeys provide passengers with a view of those scenic natural landscapes that can only be viewed from a train car, along with an atmosphere of unparalleled comfort, often accompanied by gourmet dining experiences and deluxe accommodations. All of this is making them increasingly popular among travelers seeking a luxurious slow travel escape.

“Railbookers offers customers and travel agents the unique opportunity to easily include luxury rail as part of a larger vacation,” said Railbookers’ Senior Vice President of Strategic Partnerships, Jim Marini. “In response, we keep adding more product that features these unforgettable train journeys, including our extremely popular Around the World by Luxury Train itinerary. We’re proud to be the preferred solution for so many travel advisors and customers, making their bucket-list luxury rail vacations become a reality.”

To celebrate the emergence of this encouraging trend, Railbookers is excited to offer travelers customers a limited-time deal on luxury train journeys. The sale features a special discount of $400 per couple on trips featuring select luxury train routes with a minimum duration of seven nights. This is in addition to the sale that Railbookers is currently running on all its itineraries. 

Eligible luxury train routes include: 

  • Belmond Royal Scotsman

  • El Transcantábrico Gran Lujo
  • Glacier Express – Excellence Class (2024 departures)
  • Rocky Mountaineer
