The Premier Rail Journey of China
Plan My Trip →The New Orient Express is China's flagship luxury train — a journey through the country's grandest landscapes in the comfort of a five-star hotel on rails. Here's a look at the 2024 season.
The New Orient Express blends the romance of the golden age of rail with modern luxury — deluxe cabins, gourmet dining, and impeccable service.
The 2024 season covered the great itineraries — the Silk Road through Xinjiang, the journey to Tibet, and the classic routes through China's historic heartlands.
Life onboard is the heart of the journey — fine dining, lounges, cultural programs, and the ever-changing scenery through panoramic windows. Excursions bring the destinations to life.
Spring and autumn departures offer the most comfortable travel weather and the finest scenery. The train operates through the main travel seasons.
Cabins, all meals, excursions and entrance fees, English-speaking guides, and onboard entertainment are included. International flights and personal expenses are not.
Cabins sell out well in advance — book early for your preferred departure. Contact our experts to plan the perfect luxury rail journey through China.
