PALACE ON WHEELS
India; 7 nights
The clue is in the name. With its own
spa, mini gym and cabins that look
ripped straight from Wes Anderson’s
sketchpad, India’s irst ‘cruise train’ launched in
1982 and still retains its charm. The itinerary
also never dates, as the train noisily creaks out
of Delhi and into Rajasthan, dropping in on the
tigers of Ranthambore, the dunes of Jaisalmer
and pink palaces of Jaipur. Desert forts and
a Taj Mahal inale round oƒ a journey that does
well to squeeze in so many sights.
From US$3,500pp (£2,765) return, based on
two people sharing a cabin; the season runs
