TORONTO — Railbookers is offering more ways to see the world by luxury train next year with a new and expanded collection of rail journeys.
Returning for 2026 is the flagship 60-day ‘Around the World’ by Luxury Train trip featuring new trains, hotels and activities over two months, alongside four departures throughout the year ranging from 29 to 48 days.
In total, 11 iconic luxury train routes will be available in the 2026 collection, along with new hotels and sightseeing activities.
“Luxury train travel continues to be one of the biggest trends and desires we see among our guests, and we’re delighted to bring back our signature trip along with a newly expanded lineup of journeys that showcase everything travellers desire on a five-star, luxury jaunt across the globe,” said Frank Marini, President & CEO of Railbookers Group. “Whether it’s new luxury trains, iconic and unique hotel accommodations and much more, our team has improved upon this already remarkable experience.”
AROUND THE WORLD IN 60 DAYS
The flagship journey departs Sept. 2, 2026, beginning in Vancouver with Rocky Mountaineer before continuing to Banff. From there, travellers fly to the United Kingdom for stays in Edinburgh and London, with journeys aboard the Belmond Royal Scotsman and the newly-introduced Britannic Explorer. A flight to Italy follows, where guests will board the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express to Paris and continue on to Istanbul.
The adventure heads to India by plane for six nights on the Maharajas’ Express, followed by a flight to South Africa with time aboard Rovos Rail and a three-night stay at the Kruger Shalati “train on the bridge” hotel. The trip concludes in Asia with a three-night journey on the Eastern & Oriental Express from Singapore.
