The Ultimate Rail and Water Stays
Beyond their incredible collection of hotels and resorts across the world, Belmond whisks guests on evocative journeys across land and water. Rail adventures include the legendary Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, which glides between beguiling European cities, and Andean Explorer, Peru’s first luxury sleeper train. Royal Scotsman offers thrilling escapes in the Scottish Highlands. Eastern & Oriental Express connects ancient wonders and cosmopolitan cities in Southeast Asia. On the water, Les Bateaux Belmond barges offer slow travel through Burgundy and Provence.
Rail Adventures
Whether it’s unwinding as the landscape passes your window, or retreating after an evening in the bar car, even the most convivial traveller will require a quiet space to retire. And where better than your own private suite or cabin. Onboard the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express train, and the Royal Scotsman (2024), encounter the decadent world of Grand Suites — where handcrafted interiors and free-flowing champagne are simply a way of life — and be swept away in an indulgence known only to the royalty of travel’s golden age. Inside, the Grand Suites’ living quarters allow you to dine in private, should you wish. Meanwhile, marbled en-suite bathrooms mean you can refresh in style. For any craving that strikes, our 24-hour butler service is on hand to make your dreams a reality.
