Retrace the steps of Indian Royalty and the British Raj, on a journey aboard the stately Maharajas' Express, one of the world's most luxurious trains. From the moment you are welcomed aboard, with a red carpet and warm traditional greeting, you enjoy a truly 5-star experience on wheels. From panoramic windows we witness ever-changing scenery, stopping to absorb the vibrant spirit and wondrous sights of India. Our route aboard this luxury service starts in Delhi and includes time to explore the 'Pink City' of Jaipur and the Amber Fort, Ranthambore National Park, Agra and the Taj Mahal, Orcha Fort and the temple city of Varanasi.
The Maharajas' Express offers the ultimate in grandeur, elegance and comfort. On board are two sumptuous restaurant cars, where an array of Indian and international cuisine - freshly prepared by on-board chefs - is served by highly attentive, unobtrusive staff. Complimentary house wines and beer are served while dining. There is also a bar car, with two bars - the Rajah Club lounge offers a relaxed atmosphere with a collection of books and board games, and an excellent selection of beers, wines and spirits. The Safari Bar is suitable for group meetings and serves as a venue for festive events.
