Ever wondered how to combine luxury and adventure? We\u2019ve got the answer: Belmond Andean Explorer<\/strong><\/em>,\u00a0South America\u2019s first luxury sleeper train<\/strong><\/em>, which has just been put in service.\u00a0This first-class, modern and comfortable train will take you on a one-of-a-kind journey through the Peruvian Andes on the world\u2019s fourth-highest rail track. I think we found a serious challenger in the exclusive luxury<\/strong><\/em> category! The former Orient-Express\u2019s creation went on its maiden journey last month. Let\u2019s learn more!<\/p>\n

The name Belmond might not ring a bell, but the rail company\u2019s previous name certainly will: it\u2019s not other than the legendary Orient Express! The company developed several luxury sleeper train<\/strong><\/em> circuits all over the globe, and their newest, Belmond Andean Explorer<\/strong><\/em>, actually used to journey through Australia. The train really is a symbol of high-class exploration!<\/p>\n

The train\u2019s service in the Andes debuted last May. If luxury travel<\/strong><\/em> already offers many opportunities in Peru, this unique vehicle is the first luxury train sleeper<\/strong><\/em> in all of South America. A truly unique 3-day and 700-km journey awaits the 48 passengers, through stunning scenery and mythical landmarks like Lake Titicaca, with the legendary Inca capital Cusco as destination. And what\u2019s even more amazing: the inside\u00a0of the train holds as much appeal as the gorgeous outside!<\/p>\n

That\u2019s right, don\u2019t forget we\u2019re talking Orient Express: the 16-carriage train displays a curated luxury interior<\/strong><\/em> featuring 24 comfortable cabins, a piano lounge, a bar, an observation car at the rear, and two restaurants run by local yet internationally recognized chefs. Just look at this cabin above: can you believe you\u2019re on a train?<\/p>\n

The luxury interior<\/strong><\/em> design of the train was realized by Muza Lab, with thoughtful effort to \u201cdesign journeys\u201d. The choices were made trying to evoke several things: the Peruvian and Andean culture, Belmond and the train\u2019s heritage, nature, romance, nostalgia, freedom and of course luxury. It also gives a reference to train partnership\u2019s with the national operator PeruRail, with the bright blue outside color of the carriages.<\/p>\n

As a consequence, the luxury sleeper train<\/strong><\/em>\u2018s interior features airy, light shades and noble materials such as dark wood, leather and touches of brass and gold. Locally-sourced Peruvian craft is also displayed. The ensemble feels refined, soft, genuine and nostalgic of the rail\u2019s golden era.<\/p>\n

Guests will enjoy high-end comfort, local gastronomical cuisine reflecting the places their journey through, fine entertainment such as live music bands, and a spa car should be added soon. All this through riding a train with an altitude above in the middle of incredible mountain scenery! Now if that\u2019s not exclusive luxury<\/strong><\/em>, we don\u2019t know what is\u2026<\/p>\n
