Luxury Train

Step into the golden age of rail travel and combine a superyacht charter with one of the world’s most iconic train trips. Less flexible than a private jet but glamorous and stylish, for those looking for a more classic way to travel, riding a luxury train is a bucket list must. Many of these trains were built way back in the early 1900s, but have been restored to offer luxury and comfort combined with vintage interior designs to immerse you in the golden era of travel. Rest in plush cabins and enjoy being served by your personal butler throughout the whole journey as you begin to acclimatize to the slower pace of life that a vacation is all about.

The Itinerary

The world’s most famous train, the Venice Simplon-OrientExpress winds its way through the landscapes of France, Austria, Switzerland and Italy. Stepping on board, passengers are instantly transported back in time. The carriages have been restored to their original 1920s charm, with vintage features throughout. Depart from London and enjoy afternoon tea as you head south to cross the English Channel or board in Paris later in the afternoon. Dine in style as the train carries you through the French countryside. Jean Imbert – France’s hottest chef –brings cuisine back to the soulful origins of French dining. After dinner, move to the Bar Car for Champagne and cocktails to the accompaniment of the train’s pianist. As you sleep in the comfort of your newly refurbished suite, the train gently carries on the journey through to Switzerland. Rise early to witness the sun rise over the Swiss lakes and then spend a leisurely day gliding through Austria before your carriage eases into Venice in the early evening. Here, you could spend a few days soaking up Venetian culture before embarking on a 10-day odyssey across the Adriatic and the compelling cruising grounds of Croatia. belmond.com

Road Trip

More and more travelers desire to get to know the country they are visiting, perhaps by taking a customized tour of their chosen destination. Cultural activities and wellness experiences are also sought after, while immersive experiences and connecting with local communities and a different way of life appeals to many. By incorporating a road trip into a yacht charter, guests have the opportunity to really experience the destination firsthand, at their own pace.

The Itinerary

Step on board NAVIS ONE and cruise from the historical city of Naples and the chic islands of Capri and Ischia across the bay to explore the shimmering coastline and cliffside fishing villages and lemon groves that dot the vertiginous landscape from Sorrento to Ravello. Step ashore in Ravello and take to the wheel of a Ferrari Portofino. An Italian tourer par excellence, the Portofino - which takes its name from the beautiful town on the Italian Riviera - combines unparalleled versatility and comfort with outright performance. Effortlessly handling the twists and turns along the heavenly coastal route from Ravello to Positano and across the headland to Sorrento, the Portofino comes into its own. Glide along the SS163, hugging the coastline as it plunges into the sparkling Tyrrhenian Sea, and step back on board NAVIS ONE in the charming hillside town of Positano. From here, you could cruise on to the colorful town of Amalfi, or head south along the coast of Italy to the Lipari islands, finishing your Italian adventure on the island of Sicily.
