A brand new train journey was announced, and within 100 days it spent nearly £113,000 to bring people from all over the world. The Adventures by Train Tour whisks a selected group of 12 passengers from around the world, from London to Tokyo and North America via the iconic Queen Mary 2-liner. It offers “Worldwide World on a 100-day train” for £112,900 per person for £112,900. The couple's discount is 89,950pp, and this epic journey includes full-service luxury.
Travelers benefit from their own tour leaders on most of adventures, luxurious accommodation, delicious food, top-notch tickets and cruise trips. Additional perks include private transfers per car and minibus, ferry trips, sightseeing excursions and all admission fees on the attraction list.
Tim Louth, creator of The Adventures by Train Odyssey, told The Telegraph:
“You handle trains that run once a week, you ship trains that sail twice a year, and boundaries that are still catching up in the 20th century. You have to choreograph everything around it.”
The heart of the trip is a spectacular 21-night cruise that sets off to Vancouver every spring in time for Alaska's cruising season.
The route also involves the southern paths, incorporating Türkiye, the Caucasus and Central Asia. This is when countries like Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan became open to British travelers with visa-free access.
Currently, only China requires traditional visas. This must be applied directly.
The itinerary incorporates extra time between trains on some “buffer” days if there is a change in the timetable or delay.
Along the journey, guests can predict several “signature moments,” including meals at Michelin-starred restaurants. An outstanding highlight is the 3-star TAIAN table in Shanghai.
For Louth, the highlight of his trip is a three-week stretch through the American West. After landing in Vancouver, the group heads towards Seattle to Seattle and board the Empire Builder in Amtrak into Montana's Glacier National Park.
From there, private road trips snake through Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota and Colorado.
