AUSTRALIAN-BASED exclusive rail tour specialist Railway Adventures recently expanded its retail offerings and portfolio of escorted tours with a new partnership with the iconic Belmond luxury trains.

Operations manager, Lissa Sharp, was in Europe to cement the relationship and was joined by Belmond’s Director of Sales for Asia Pacific, Trains and River Cruises, Ms Karen Conlon, on the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express from Venice to London.

 Ms Sharp said that the iconic Belmond Luxury trains and properties are perfect match to complement Railway Adventures’ already extensive range of product for Australians.

 “As Railway Adventures grows its business, I was delighted to experience the wonderful Venice Simplon-Orient-Express from Venice to London and in working in partnership with Belmond to be able to offer this trip,  amongst others, to agents and clients as an add-on to any of our European tours or create a trip of their own.

 “We will now be able to offer departures on the iconic Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, a renowned product that is much-suited to our market and will work well as an addition to our programs such as our popular Rail Adventure in Switzerland.”

 The new partnership allows Railway Adventures to be agents for a range of Belmond luxury trains including Belmond Royal Scotsman, Belmond Grand Hibernian, Belmond Andean Explorer, and the Eastern & Oriental Express.
