Royal Scotsman

Your Carriage Awaits… To step aboard The Royal Scotsman train is to step into a different world. Here luxury, civility and gracious hospitality evoke gentler times; the romantic age of travel when getting there was as much fun as arriving. Join us for a journey through ancient mountains and mysterious lochs, golden glens and charming villages.

Unhurried is a word that sits beautifully on The Royal Scotsman. Here in sheer luxury; sumptuous, refined surroundings, you feel all the world like an honoured guest at a private party. And, of course, you are. With a maximum of only 36 guests aboard at any one time, you have plenty of space, time and encouragement to do as you please. Enjoy the company of others, sit idly with a good book or simply let the beauty passing by your window wash over you. On your train tour with us, there’ll be time enough to enjoy something a little more active.

of Welcomes and Adieux… On The Royal Scotsman nothing is too much trouble. From the moment our piper welcomes you aboard in Edinburgh, to the moment you return to this historic city, you’ll be in the very best of hands, on the very best of trains. Place yourself in our care, aboard the finest luxury train in the world. [more information]

El Transcantábrico

El Transcantábrico started to run in 1983 along the same railway lines as the old coal trains of the historic La Robla Railway, which took coal from León to Biscay.

Just one hundred years after the mythical Orient Express was inaugurated, the first tourist train in Spain began to run between León and Santiago de Compostela, making a journey of 8 days and 7 nights through the history of Spain from prehistoric times to the present day.

When you board the train, you will be given a warm welcome by the crew. They are a group of professionals who will accompany you throughout the trip and be entirely at your disposal.

You will also receive a detailed programme of each day’s events and the national, international and local newspapers.

At night, after dinner, our luxury coach will take you back to the train and you will be able to spend an animated evening in our on-board pub.

We hope that you will enjoy the culture, the art, the countryside, the food and, of course, the pleasure of being on the train. [more information]
