Luxury Rail Journeys

trip on board the GrandLuxe Rail Journeys(formerly the American Orient Express) begins, as so many memorable journeys do, with a departure from one of North America's storied cities. Cities like Los Angeles, Seattle, Vancouver or Montreal. There, you board an inviting line of railway passenger cars — gleaming royal blue and gold along the quarter-mile consist. As you embark on the deluxe train, the excitement you feel is an inherent component of the American rail journey experience. Greeted by formally-attired attendants, you enter a fleet of rail cars created at the height of luxury rail travel — the 1940s and '50s, putting you at ease on an adventurous trip. Each car you pass through on the GrandLuxe Rail Journeys has been restored to a new level of contemporary splendor. Tied together as a unit by the dark mahogany walls rubbed to a matte luster and adorned with delicate marquetry. Done up in varying shades of lighter wood, they are reminiscent of the early and long tradition of George Pullman, the first builder of luxury rail cars. In no time the train begins to glide forward, bound for sites carefully selected to accentuate the natural beauty and dramatic history of North America. Whether you settle into the comfort of your room, or remain with fellow travelers in one of the lounge cars or the new dome car, it occurs to you that there is nothing like a train. Whether racing along the shoreline of the Pacific Coast or while drifting past the sprawling fields and ranches that make up central Alberta, the train brings you closer to the destination. The GrandLuxe Rail Journeys brings you back to a time of unhurried travel. A time when the journey was as enjoyable as the final destination. A time when dining by rail was a great way to pass the time and take in the beautiful surroundings. Join them and experience the romance of the past.               2007 Tour Calendar January GrandLuxe Mexico February GrandLuxe Mexico March GrandLuxe Mexico April National Parks of the West May National Parks of the West June National Parks of the West The Great Northwest & Rockies July The Great Northwest & Rockies August The Great Northwest & Rockies National Parks of the West September Rockies, Sierras & Napa October Rockies, Sierras & Napa
