Our readers' favourite train journeys in the world: 2022 Readers' Choice Awards
The survey for the 2023 Readers' Choice Awards is open, vote now for your favourite places, hotels, airports, cruise ships, travel fixers and more.
It’s always about taking the scenic route (four glorious days for The Canadian to trundle from Toronto to Vancouver) and The Railway Children Return-style nostalgia (see Wes Anderson’s retro-escapist new carriage for Belmond’s British Pullman). For cabin comfort, the Andean Explorer and Venice Simplon-Orient-Express are preferred, but it’s the upgraded Seven Stars in Kyushu – now with just 10 guest rooms and a tea lounge across two carriages – that made you stop in your tracks.
These are the best train journeys in the world, according to the 2022 Readers' Choice Awards. The scores below are percentages representing overall average levels of satisfaction.
