Whether you choose to travel by train for sustainability reasons, to avoid the faff of airports or because you fancy a trip with a view, there are plenty of spectacular rail routes cross the globe to choose from. There’s the beloved British Pullman that stops all across the UK, or the Reunification Express in Vietnam where you can take in the lush Hai Van mountain pass before reaching the major cities, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh.

But according to Travel + Leisure, one train is a cut above the rest, offering cross-country journeys and a host of diverse landscapes with panoramic views: all aboard the Rocky Mountaineer.
