Page 3 of 5 Central EuropeOne of the great pleasures of rail travel is the way a train gets you to the very heart of a city. Step out of the station in Venice, for example, and you are literally at the water’s edge. Embark at Budapest and you will wake in Istanbul, in Transylvania, in Cracow or Berlin - destinations of cultural and architectural heritage, icons of world history. This is one of the most stimulating ways to travel. And before you drift off to sleep, lulled by the rhythm of the train, you can watch the Great Hungarian Plain, the Tatra Mountains or the Danube roll by in the twilight, from the comfort of your own luxury room. The dream begins. The Danube Express normally comprises eight cars headed by a modern electric locomotive. The cars, all of which are new or refurbished, provide a high level of comfort and convenience, consist of three deluxe sleeping cars, two classic sleeping cars, restaurant car, lounge car and a car for the staff. There are also Presidential Cars which can be included in the consist. Each sleeping car has a fully dedicated member of staff who will be at your service throughout the journey, in charge of housekeeping and that all-important wake-up call. We provide all our guests with a full timetable explaining the details of our excursions and the timing of all meals along with other health, safety, weather and travel information.
