Adventures By Train director Jim Louth said the trip ‘provides the perfect mix of world-class rail travel with hand-picked immersive experiences in optimum comfort.’ The 100-day itinerary will see passengers taking part in unique, curated cultural experiences and feasting in Michelin-starred restaurants across the globe. From wine tastings in Georgia, to traditional tea ceremonies in Tokyo, to a walking tour of the UNESCO-protected city of Khiva in Uzbekistan, there will be plenty of exciting activities and awe-inspiring wonders to keep you on your toes.But the global odyssey isn’t strictly limited to rail routes, as passengers will sail the North Pacific on a 23-day voyage from Tokyo to Vancouver, as well as a seven-night transatlantic crossing from New York to Southampton aboard the Queen Mary 2.Additionally, passengers will board a 24 to 30 hour cruise from Azerbaijan to Kazakhstan, and an overnight one from Shanghai to Osaka.After a long day of travelling and touring, sleep-starved adventurers will be able to recharge in style in a number of historic and five-star hotels, including Istanbul’s Pera Palace, The Langham in New York and the Shangri-La in Vancouver.Passengers are advised to pack light, though the company will allot $100 (£78) per person per hotel for laundry services.

This is for normal people.’
