Frank Marini, president and CEO of Railbookers Group, stated that the trip had a staggering waitlist of 4,000 people ahead of its launch, reflecting an unprecedented demand. Although Business Insider could not verify this figure, it highlights the allure of luxury train travel. As Marini said, ‘The demand was crazy,’ showcasing how this luxurious experience has captivated the imaginations of many who were previously unaware they could travel by luxury train.
Andrew Channell, Railbookers' senior vice president of product and operations, emphasized how luxury train experiences are attracting interest, saying, ‘It's captured the imagination of a lot of people who said, 'I had no idea there was even a luxury train experience you could do there.' This not only points to the increasing popularity of these unique journeys but also suggests a growing market for opulent travel options.
The featured itinerary takes travelers on a remarkable journey from Vancouver to Singapore, featuring seven luxury trains including the renowned Royal Scotsman and Rovos Rail. Guests will enjoy a plethora of bundled excursions like private tours of Venice's Saint Mark's Basilica and sunrise stops at the Taj Mahal, enhancing the overall luxury experience. Such trips are not only about travel; they are about exclusive, curated, once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
The cost of such luxury journeys can be hefty; for instance, three nights on Royal Scotsman in September could run approximately $22,400 per person, not including six required flights, five of which are not part of the package. This reflects a trend where luxury travel commands a significant price but also provides premium, unforgettable experiences.”}],
