Belmond has operated luxury train trips for 43 years, a journey that began with an inaugural launch connecting London and Venice and newer trips that cruise past castles and whisky distilleries in the Scottish Highlands or nestle up to the famed Machu Picchu in Peru.
A subsidiary of luxury conglomerate LVMH, Belmond says there’s been increasing interest in luxury trains ever since the pandemic subsided. While a private jet is far faster than a train, many travelers are learning to appreciate a more relaxed trip with scenic views.
