There’s something particularly special about travelling by train. It’s faster than driving, so you spend more time at your destination, but it’s hands-free and slow enough to truly take in the landscape you’re moving through. Thanks to Veuve Clicquot and Belmond’s new Solaire Journeys, train travel has never been better.
The two LVMH-owned brands have marshalled their forces to create a trio of unforgettable train journeys around the world, blending the old-world luxury of Belmond with the effervescence of Veuve Clicquot. The first trip, scheduled to take place from the 22nd to 25th of April, will travel from Singapore to Malaysia and take in views from the legendary Marina Bay all the way to Penang.
The second journey is a trip from Austria to France — between the 4th and 6th of July — where guests will be moved from the cultural hub of Vienna to the heart of Veuve Clicquot in Champagne on board the historic Venice Simplon-Orient-Express. Not only will there be more cuvée than you’ve ever seen in your life, but passengers also enjoy a final meal prepared by Michelin-starred chefs Mory Sacko and Jean Imbert before arriving in Paris.
For those lusting after a journey across South America, the third trip takes passengers across Peru, enjoying two different trains from the 21st to the 26th of October. From the lively Cusco to the icon that is Machu Picchu, you’ll enjoy some of the rarest and most important Veuve Champagnes, guided by the one and only cellar master Didier Mariotti.
