Reserve Your Silk Road Journey
Plan My Trip →The New Orient Express is China's most luxurious train, and its Xinjiang Silk Road routes are the most sought-after departures. The 2026 presale is now open — here's what you need to know.
The New Orient Express combines the romance of the golden age of rail with modern luxury — deluxe cabins, fine dining, and attentive service across China's most spectacular landscapes.
The Xinjiang itineraries follow the historic Silk Road — Urumqi, Turpan, Kashgar, and the oases and deserts of the far west, with excursions at every stop.
The 2026 presale opens early because these cabins sell out quickly. Booking early secures your preferred departure date, cabin category, and the best prices.
Onboard life is the heart of the journey — gourmet meals, lounges, cultural programs, and the ever-changing scenery through large windows. Excursions add the Silk Road's wonders.
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 2026 availability and reserve your cabin. A deposit secures your booking, with the balance due closer to departure.
