What better way to explore a country than sitting back in a luxurious carriage watching the scenery go by?
Glide through snow-capped mountains and wild flower meadows on the Rocky Mountaineer in Canada. Gold Leaf passengers are seated in a glass-domed coach that provides a wonderful viewing platform, or enjoy a sumptuous silver-service dinner with Rovos Rail in Cape Town, South Africa. The fully restored carriages combine luxury travel with the chance to experience living history.
