China's Most Luxurious Train
Plan My Trip →The New Orient Express is China's premier luxury train — a journey through the country's most spectacular landscapes in five-star comfort. Here's your guide to the 2025 departures.
The New Orient Express revives the golden age of rail travel — deluxe cabins, gourmet dining, and attentive service aboard a train designed for the great journeys of China.
The train operates several grand itineraries — the Silk Road through Xinjiang, the journey to Tibet, and the classic routes through China's historic heartlands. Each offers a different face of the country.
Life onboard is the journey's heart: fine meals in the dining car, lounges for relaxation and conversation, cultural programs, and the ever-changing scenery through large windows.
The 2025 departures cover the main seasons, with spring and autumn offering the most comfortable travel weather. Cabins sell out early — book well in advance.
Cabins, all meals, excursions and entrance fees, English-speaking guides, and onboard entertainment are included. International flights and personal expenses are not.
Contact our travel experts to check availability and reserve your cabin. A deposit secures the booking, with the balance due before departure.
