CRUISE & RAIL
A whole new way to travel the world
EXPERIENCE THE BEST OF LAND AND RIVER
aboard the Golden Eagle Danube Express & the Maharajas’ Express
We invite you to join us on a Cruise & Rail journey. At once thrillingly innovative yet thoroughly nostalgic, this masterful combination of river cruising and luxury overnight train travel is an experience you can’t find anywhere else.
THE HIGHEST QUALITY, ALWAYS
Uniworld is passionate about delivering the highest quality for every detail that goes into our trips. From ship to train, you can expect exceptional service, elegant design, delicious cuisine, and memorable moments in each of the many destinations you’ll visit.
A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME EXPERIENCE
Overnight rail travel is turning into a top bucket list item for all types of travelers, and our Cruise & Rail program takes the perfect iteration of this for the luxury adventure seeker, then turns it into something completely unique.
THE PERFECT PAIRING
When your method of transportation is also your boutique hotel, plus your five-star restaurant and bar, you end up with more time to get the most out of each place you visit. And that’s not even to mention the unique amenities of river cruising—think constantly changing views from every room and prime docking locations in town.
Luxury overnight rail takes the river cruising experience to the places our ships can’t reach, such as the snowcapped peaks of the Swiss Alps or India’s fabulous Golden Triangle. From ship to train, you’ll bask in incredible views, myriad cultures, and all-inclusive amenities the entire way.
