 The Man in Seat Sixty-One  -  personal website ***
Many people are afraid to fly, or (like me) simply prefer a more civilised, comfortable, interesting, adventurous, romantic, historic and exciting way to travel. Travelling by train from London to Europe is easy, but finding out about it (and how to book it) is remarkably difficult.
 Arena Travel  -  UK Breaks
The UK has some of the most spectacular scenery, historic sites and magnificent cities in Europe and Arena's UK breaks combine many of them with travel on board the trains of the Orient-Express.
 Cox & Kings

 Regent Holidays - Trans-Siberian Railway
There can be no greater adventure than a journey on the Trans-Siberian Railway across tundra, vast Siberian plains and through endless pine and birch forests. Unlike other great rail journeys, such as the Orient Express , your travelling companions will be ordinary people going about their business, such as Russian Babushkas', Mongolian traders and Chinese students.
Seven days is a long time to be on a train and the best way to make the most of your journey (and have a shower!) is to stop at Irkutsk in Siberia to visit Lake Baikal and also at Ulan Bator, the capital of Mongolia, to sample a little of the nomadic lifestyle of the people.

The Eastern & Oriental Express is the ultimate centrepiece of a visit to the Far East. A subtle balance of Eastern culture and cuisine and Western comforts means that you can enjoy the best of everything - travelling in style and experiencing the many and mystical wonders of Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia.
The style and splendour of the E&O, with its elegant compartments, delicious cuisine and superb service, combined with the adventure of a journey through the heart of Asia, provide a unique travel experience.
On board the Eastern & Oriental Express, the atmosphere harks back to a 'Colonial' age of rattan chairs on the verandah, linen suits and tea dances. The on board cuisine continues the same very high standards already established by the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express in Europe.

Step aboard the wood-panelled coaches - classics remodelled and refurbished to mint condition - and enjoy fine cuisine in five-star luxury as some of the most varied scenery imaginable unfolds beyond the windows. Recapture the romance and atmosphere of a by-gone era, when privileged travellers experienced the magic and mystery of Africa in a relaxed and elegant fashion.
 Royal Scotsman  -  Luxury train in Scotland
To step aboard The Royal Scotsman is to step into a different world. Here luxury, civility and gracious hospitality evoke gentler times; the romantic age of travel when getting there was as much fun as arriving.
The spectacle of Scotland's great wilderness does take the breath away. Seen from the comfort of the train's Observation Car, the contrasts of the changing landscape are magnified a hundredfold, across sweeping glens, past towering peaks and black mirrored lochs.
