Something about train travel has always seem so mysterious and adventurous. Classic films such as From Russia With Love, The Polar Express, and The Darjeeling Unlimited have captured many attentions, and sparked my interest in finding the best routes to travel by train.
1. Pride of Africa At $17,200/person, the Pride of Africa is regarded as the most luxurious train in the world. The trip travels through South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Tanzania.
2. Eastern & Oriental Express At $11,500/person, the Eastern & Oriental Express takes you through SE Asia, Thailand, and Singapore, letting you discover the mystery and magic of Asia.
3. Royal Scotsman At $9800/person, a journey on The Royal Scotsman takes you straight to the heart of the Highlands, through landscapes of towering, pine-clad mountains reflected in mirror-still lochs.

The Danube Express is regarded as a luxury hotel on wheels. Traveling on the Danube gives you a private staff that caters to all your needs while visiting all of Central Europe.
5. Trans-Siberian
The Trans-Siberian Railway is a network of railways connecting Moscow with the Russian Far East and the Sea of Japan. It is the longest railway in the world with branch lines to China through Mongolia and Manchuria.
