Discover Europe\u2019s best by train \u2013 it will be a journey unlike any other. <\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Europe was meant to be seen by train. What other mode of transportation is as versatile, trustworthy and exquisite? There\u2019s no better way to discover Europe\u2019s breathtaking landscapes: bluster along dramatic clifftops, serene lakesides and jagged mountains to reach Europe\u2019s cosmopolitan cities or puff past idyllic meadows and shimmering streams in the heart of the French countryside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Danube Express, Central Europe  <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s luxury trail travel, and then there\u2019s the Golden Eagle<\/em> Danube Express. The antithesis of an a-to-b voyage, this all-inclusive hotel-on-wheels has three distinct compartments: Art Deco luxury sleeping cabins, a Bar Lounge Car (the social heart of the train) and the elegant Restaurant Car, where passengers can enjoy meals prepared by an onboard chef.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multiple journeys are on offer each year, including an eight-day Istanbul<\/a> to Paris<\/a> route, 11-day Budapest<\/a> to Venice<\/a> passage and 12-day Eastern Europe discovery through Krakow and Vienna<\/a>. The best part? Views of baroque elegance and dazzling cities are enjoyed both on and off the train, with each journey offering multiple excursions and activities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
