Ride the rails in comfort and luxury while you view some of the world's most spectacular scenery. Premier Selections offers 20 itineraries on five continents. 

Canada is host to a number of Premier Selections' most popular trips. The two-day Rocky Mountaineer runs from Vancouver to Calgary in modern comfort. Panoramic windows allow unparalleled views of the majestic scenery as you wend your way along the route of early Canadian explorers. The Canadian offers a trans-Canada trip in elegantly restored silver and blue art deco carriages. 

The US also hosts a variety of possibilities. The American Spirit, a train comprised of cars from the 1940's and 50's travels through both Yellowstone and Teton national parks. The American Orient Express has itineraries as diverse as trips through the antebellum South or along the Pacific Coast to New England fall foliage trips and journeys to the canyonlands of the Southwest.

Journeying from Cape Town to Zimbabwe's Victoria Falls, the lovingly refurbished Edwardian carriages of South Africa's Rovos Rail transport you back to a simpler time. Steam train buffs can enjoy the Union Limited Golden Thread train of the 1940s. Winding along the coast from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth along the Indian Ocean, this southernmost tip of Africa offers breathtaking scenery.

Pacific Ocean fans can experience Australia's Gold Coast as you travel from Brisbane to Kuranda through the lush rainforest of Queensland. Abundant animal life and the Great Barrier Reef just offshore add to the journey's splendor. 

For a look into the exotic world of Southeast Asia, the Eastern and Oriental Express transports you from Singapore to Bangkok in oriental splendor. Visit the temples and cities that mark this fantastic land.

Mystery and magnificence await you aboard the legendary Venice-Simplon Orient-Express. Surrounded in luxury of a bygone era, this trip from Venice to London aboard the most famous train in the world is one you'll not soon forget. The Royal Scotsman also offers a spectacular ride in luxury through the heart of Scotland. Starting from Edinburgh and heading north through the Highlands, then back again, riders experience the untamed beauty of this stony land in the elegance and comfort.

Whichever Premier Selections trips you choose, it promises to be a wonderful journey. The company's staff and management are fun, friendly people who enjoy working with their clients to find the perfect trip every time.
