In 2025, a new exclusive journey called "World Luxury Train Tour" will be launched, lasting 60 days and spanning over 10 countries across three continents. The adventure is scheduled to start on September 5, 2025, departing from New York City. The trip will feature renowned railway services, including the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, though flights between some parts of the route are not included, which travelers should take into account.

The total cost for this grand tour is set at €120,000, but there are also more affordable packages for those interested in specific sections of the trip. Despite the substantial price, the tour has already garnered significant attention from travelers. Bookings for individual segments of the journey are now open and being actively reserved.

For those interested in luxurious train travel, the industry is offering new, exciting possibilities. Rail journeys allow tourists to fully experience the history and culture of each destination along the way. Research indicates that sustainable tourism is on the rise, as trains are considered a more environmentally friendly alternative to air travel, which appeals to eco-conscious tourists.

One highlight of the journey is the Scottish Highlands, where travelers can take in breathtaking mountain views and picturesque lakes. The route on the Belmond Royal Scotsman train offers a stop at historic castles like Eilean Donan, allowing travelers to explore cultural landmarks. This destination is a standout on the route, offering a deep dive into Scotland’s heritage.

Another key destination is Venice, a city known for its iconic canals and unique architecture. Passengers aboard the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express will be able to visit famous landmarks such as St. Mark’s Square and the renowned St. Mark’s Basilica. Venice serves as a major point of interest on the tour, offering a glimpse into its rich history and cultural charm.

This grand tour is particularly appealing to experienced travelers looking for a distinctive way to explore the globe. The journey provides a rare chance not only to see major global landmarks but also to experience them in unparalleled luxury. However, travelers should keep in mind possible additional expenses and carefully plan their inter-country travel to make the most of the experience.
