Asia · India Deccan Odyssey
The Deccan Odyssey carries just 80 guests across India's most celebrated destinations in air-conditioned splendour, with a crew of over 30 attending to every comfort. Plush interiors that evoke a bygone maharaja era are paired with modern amenities — spa, lounge cars, and gourmet dining — for a truly immersive sub-continental adventure.

The Maharajas' Express recreates the splendour of India's royal era, whisking up to 88 guests through Rajasthan's palaces, tiger reserves and Mughal monuments in lavishly appointed suites. Four distinct itineraries fan out across the subcontinent, each delivering all-inclusive fine dining, guided excursions and 24-hour valet service.
Asia · India Palace on Wheels
Launched in 1982, the Palace on Wheels is India's pioneering luxury train — a joint venture between RTDC and Indian Railways that whisks guests through eight regal destinations in 7 nights and 8 days. Named No. 1 in Condé Nast Traveler's 2024 Readers' Choice Awards, it remains the benchmark for royal rail travel on the subcontinent.
