Deccan Odyssey

The Deccan Odyssey is India's distinguished luxury train, operating through the State of Maharashtra and beyond. Its 21 elegantly appointed carriages accommodate no more than 80 passengers, ensuring an intimate atmosphere attended by a crew of over 30.

Interiors blend the romance of a bygone era with contemporary comforts: plush furnishings, individual temperature controls, a spa car, lounge and bar cars, and a dedicated conference carriage. With just eight passengers per Deluxe carriage and one valet to each sleeper car, the level of personal service is exceptional.

On-board facilities include a spa with massage therapy, sauna and beauty parlour, a small gymnasium, internet access, daily newspapers, foreign exchange service, and a full laundry service. The train's two restaurant cars serve dynamic, destination-specific menus — from Maharashtrian and Goan specialities to Continental and Chinese — with fresh three- to four-course menus curated at every stop.

Accommodation is offered in three categories: Double Bed Deluxe Cabin, Twin-Bed Deluxe Cabin, and Presidential Suite. All cabins feature a private en-suite bathroom with shower, four-channel music, individual temperature control, direct-dial telephone, and an electronic safe. Twin beds measure 6' x 3', and a personal butler is available around the clock in each sleeper carriage.

The Presidential Suites occupy two dedicated carriages with two suites per carriage. Each suite comprises a master bedroom, a separate living area, two full bathrooms, and a DVD player. Suites can accommodate up to three adults, or two adults and two children. A dedicated butler attends to suite guests at all hours.
