“It’s not the destination, it’s the journey.”
We’ve all heard this, haven’t we? And with these captivating luxury train journeys, we’ll show you the joy to be found travelling across the world by rail. As luxury travel experts, we’re here to help you design your perfect luxury train journey, whether you want to admire Mount Fuji from Japan’s Shinkansen Bullet Train (we know just the seat) or explore the wild Scottish Highlands aboard Belmond’s Royal Scotsman.
An afternoon, a night, or longer. Whatever your wishes, we’ll make it happen.
With comfortable cabins, ensuite bathrooms, and breathtaking views, these are some of the world’s most luxurious trains.
If you wish to experience a luxury train ride simply for the day, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Here are a few of our favourite train journeys on the world’s most luxurious trains that can be included as part of your bespoke luxury Black Tomato trip.
There are many reasons to hop aboard and experience luxury train travel with Black Tomato. Here are just a few.
From South Africa and Scotland to Alaska and Japan, there’s a luxury train ride for everyone. Hop aboard the Orient Express as it weaves its way between snow-capped peaks or take the Shinkansen Bullet Train dashing from Tokyo to Kyoto and serving up 12-course bento boxes with striking views of Mount Fuji. Then there’s Switzerland, India, Canada, Peru. One thing’s for certain, no luxury train ride (or destination) is the same.
You can add a luxury train travel experience to your Black Tomato trip, or we can base your holiday entirely around it. Like with everything, the choice is yours.
Whether you’re seeking a luxury overnight train ride or simply a day trip, we’ll arrange the perfect luxury train adventure for you. Each luxury train has its own unique features and amenities. Whether that’s vintage bar cars, indulgent “moving” spas, or wraparound observation decks. Simply let us know your passions and interests, and we’ll provide you with inspiration, recommendations, and insights as we begin planning your personalised luxury trip. Seeking an entire private train carriage to yourself? We know just the train.
When travelling by luxury train, you want to feel at home. Comforted, relaxed. With private cabins, personal butlers, and your loved ones along for the ride, that’s something that comes naturally. Beautifully designed spaces and décor is also all part of the journey. With elegant 1920s-inspired bar cars, panoramic glass-domed carriages, and fine dining spaces decorated with hand-painted fresco ceilings, we’ll arrange for you to relax (and explore) in ultimate comfort and luxury.
And then there’s the outside. Marvel at the mesmerising Peruvian highlands from Hiram Bingham Belmond’s open-air observatory car or gaze out the window as you relax in the Royal Scotsman’s unique “spa on rails”. There’s plenty of choices. And plenty of views.
Not only will you have attentive train staff and personal butlers, you’ll also have us to help plan every step (or track) of your journey. We’ll design a bespoke trip completely tailored to you and your interests and we’ll also be on hand to help with anything throughout your luxury train holiday. Just say the word.
Rail holidays offer a truly unique dining experience. With carriages designed as moving restaurants and elegant bars, you’ll feel as if you’ve stepped over the threshold of an enchanting hotel. On the Maharajah Express you can dine on local Indian delicacies as you gaze out at the “blue city” of Jodhpur (or up at the hand-painted fresco ceiling). You can sip on 50 malt whiskies in one of two mahogany-panelled dining carriages aboard the Royal Scotsman, surrounded by Scottish thistle décor and breathtaking views of the Highlands. Whatever your tastes, there’s something for everyone.
A room with a view takes on a new meaning aboard a luxury train. First there’s the where – the dining car, the bar, the spa, your private suite. You could step outside for a breath of fresh air on the observation deck, or you could look up through magnificent glass-domed ceilings. What you see depends on your destination of choice, but we imagine it will be somewhere enchanting. A unique and ever-shifting panorama of valleys, cities, mountains, lakes, and wilderness.
Sometimes, it’s nice to keep things simple. Embarking on a luxury overnight train ride allows you to do just that. Everything is taken care of, whether it’s smooth transfers, luxurious accommodation, or exquisite fine dining. Onboard, all you have to do is relax.
When you settle into your private cabin at night, you’ll find yourself falling asleep to the gentle rocking of the train and dreaming of tomorrow. A new day, a new place, a new adventure.
