On some itineraries, passengers stay onboard the train overnight. Long after watching the sun fall below the horizon through wide panoramic windows, passengers on these train trips settle into their own private sleeping staterooms, comfortable and elegantly outfitted. While they sleep they are carried to the tour's next stop.
Other train tours utilize the train only for upscale transportation between destinations. When each day's train travel ends, passengers disembark and stay in hand-picked hotels.
Classic train vacations include: the Canadian Rockies on the Rocky Mountaineer, Glacier National Park on Amtrak, Mexico's Copper Canyon, the Royal Scotsman in Scotland, and the Blue Train in South Africa.
Train tours are classified according to the quality of amenities and accommodations.
