Welcome on board
Every epic needs its prologue. So, too, begins The Blue Train experience.
In the departure lounge, a warm-hearted welcome sets the wheels in motion for a voyage defined by the hallmarks of personal attention and devotion to detail. An hour before the train leaves the station, you are ushered into a world where anticipation is quietly heightened by the ease of check-in and the ambience of convivial relaxation, with a chance to enjoy a welcoming cocktail and an appetising delicacy or two from a butler’s silver tray. Your luggage is labelled and safely whisked away, as the stage is set for a personal invitation to stroll onto the platform, step on board, and settle into your own private suite. Bon voyage. The experience is about to begin.

A Space to Accommodate Your Dreams
In a world of ever-shrinking boundaries, ever-intensifying demands, rail travel in the grand old tradition has become a luxury in itself. The luxury of the world outside your window, stretching to the far horizon, shifting to the whispering rhythm of the wheels. The luxury of time: time to indulge, time to reflect, time to savour sights, sounds, senses and sensations. But on The Blue Train, luxury assumes a new dimension, to become the working definition of everything your heart desires. You’ll feel it from the moment you step into your suite, transformed by a magical act of alchemy from an elegant, spacious lounge by day, into a sanctuary of comfort and slumber by night with goosedown duvet and pillows, 100 percent cotton bedding, and a private bathroom with marble vanity basin, marble tiles and floor, gold fittings, and a choice of shower or bath.
Freshen up and slip into the warm embrace of a Blue Train-monogrammed gown, as you plan your outfit for dinner. All suites come equipped with a writing-desk, ideally positioned next to the window, where you can note the view in style, or pen a picture-postcard to someone special. All on-board correspondence is personally stamped and dispatched by the Train Manager. Each suite is a world on its own, with airconditioning that is adjustable to your own liking, and radio and movie channels for your listening
and viewing pleasure or tune into the driver’s-eye-view camera,and watch the world ahead as you watch the world all around. Thanks to the constantly-updated GPS map, you can also keep close track of where you’re going on the overhead monitor. On The Blue Train, the luxury of personal service comes as standard, with a dedicated butler at your beck and call, ready to meet your every whim and ensure an unforgettable  experience. A late-night snack? An early-morning wake-up call? A dinner jacket in pressing need of a little tender care? At the touch of a telephone, your butler is waiting and ready. Here’s to Suite Dreams…on The Blue Train, the ultimate definition of luxury in motion.

Barbados is a coral island, pushed out of sea by volcanic activity in a far away time. On the West Coast of Barbados, coral shore beaches of fine white sand stretch along a blue-green sea. Coral reefs fringe the Barbados shoreline to provide excellent snorkeling and scuba diving. Along the East Coast, a lively surf is blown briskly by the strong and constant trade winds and the waves pound against a rocky shore. The constant breeze of the trade winds give Barbados a mild and pleasant tropical climate.

When you visit Barbados, you will see it is mostly a flat coral island with excellent beaches, but there are rolling hills and many deep ridges and gullies, with an interesting distribution of flora and fauna. Within the Barbados coral core there is a vast array of caves and underground lakes which provide an excellent supply of drinking water that is amongst the purest in the world.

Barbados is a very beautiful island, with lots of art, activities, night life, music, history and some of the best restaurants to be found anywhere. But what makes Barbados even more special, and the reason why so many visitors keep returning to the island year after year, is the people. Barbadians, called Bajans, are warm and friendly souls, always ready to greet you with a sincere smile. Barbadians make you feel welcome and special in this lovely Caribbean Island.

The Maldives is a dream destination famous for its beautiful white beaches and breathtaking underwater scenery. But there is more to this unique nation, these 1190 islands spread across the Indian Ocean and circled into 26 natural atolls. They boast rich cultural traditions, a history of kings and queens, pageants, feasts and festivals, all of which comes together to make luxury holidays in the Maldives endlessly tempting. Experiencing this culture is one of the joys of a holiday here, a joy which Constance Halaveli caters to.

The Maldives has incredibly beautiful tropical scenery: graceful coconut palms leaning over crystal-clear lagoons, coral reefs promising great snorkelling and scuba diving, and lots of sunshine. In fact, all the ingredients that make up the classic desert island. With the increasing pace of life in the modern world, it has become the ultimate getaway for those who like the sun, sand, sea and tranquillity. Resorts like Soneva Fushi and One&Only Reethi Rah capture this perfectly.

The islands of the Maldives lie scattered in the Indian Ocean. There are almost 2000 coral islands and islets in total. Around 90 of them are so tiny, one could walk around the perimeter in less than 5 minutes! If you want to experience the magic of being isolated by clear blue oceans than the Soneva Gili, the islands’ first all water villa resort, is ideal.

The Maldives has one of the least exploited Marine environments in the world and as such has gained a reputation as being one of the best diving destinations in the world, sought after by divers and snorkellers alike. It is a deserved reputation, with hundreds of breathtaking dive sites, a colourful and fascinating underwater world, perfect conditions throughout the year and visibility that can reach up to 60 meters. If you want to dive straight in to these activities, Huvafen Fushi has the facilities ready for you to do so.

Tourism in the Maldives is carefully managed; the strategy being to develop a limited number of quality resorts, each on its own island free from crime, traffic, commercialism and the stress of daily life.

Some 1500 miles off the East coast of Africa lies the stunningly beautiful island of Mauritius. Formed over 8 million years ago as a result of volcanic activity, this small island boasts long stretches of dazzling white sandy beaches, tranquil lagoons, a magnificent mountainous interior and a coral reef spanning the entirety of its coastline. The island forms part of the Mascarene Archipelago; all that now remains of the ancient land mass that once united the great continents of Asia and Africa.

Situated just south of the equator, Mauritius is an all year round destination with a tropical summer (November to April - Average coastal temperature of 29ºC) and a subtropical winter (May to October -average coastal temperature 24ºC). The driest months are between May and November. The island is a twelve hour direct flight from Britain, and is four hours ahead of GMT.

The capital, Port Louis, is a fascinating melting pot of everything Mauritian. A trip there is not to be missed. Marvel at the Dutch, British and French inspired colonial architecture. Take a trip to the Natural History Museum to see the famously extinct Dodo bird. Wander through the fascinating Chinese quarter or take a tour of the fabulous Pamplemousse botanical gardens. However, the highlight must surely be the market situated near the mosque. A fantastic spectacle awaits those who manage to be present mid-morning: a combination of coloured saris, tempting aromas, flashing earrings, Chinese smiles and Creole exuberance, vast vegetable baskets, shining cookware and luscious fruits.

The natural beauty, heritage, culture and people of the island go some way to explaining why Mauritius makes such a special destination; but it is only half the story. The island is home to some of the most luxurious and spectacular hotels in the world, all of which provide a service which is second to none. Gourmet cuisine abounds, reflecting the cultural diversity of Mauritius. Dine on food (al fresco of course!) prepared by world renowned chefs whilst listening to the rhythms of live local music. Take advantage of the superb water sport facilities on offer, put your swing to the test on the championship golf course, or pamper yourself at the resort spas. Everything you need to enjoy a luxury holiday is here on this island, captured by resorts such as Le Touessrok and Le Saint Geran.

Our knowledgeable staff have first hand experience of all these resorts and are happy to advise on the suitability of each one for all our clients specific needs.

Lying on the eastern part of the Indochinese peninsula, Vietnam is a strip of land shaped like the letter “S”. China borders it to the north, Laos and Cambodia to the west, the East Sea to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the east and south.

Vietnam has 3000km of coastline – much of which is stunning white beaches slipping into calm blue seas from the cover of towering jungle covered mountains. The country also has much to offer culturally, with the French colonially influenced Hanoi in the north, and the bustling and energetic Ho Chi Minh City in the south.

Vietnam is an intriguing and exotic land of culture and contrasts. The mountainous landscapes, endless stretches of beaches and shimmering paddy fields are only a part of Vietnam’s appeal. A country marching purposefully into the future, growing and evolving day by day. A place where the old and the new sit side by side.

Come savour the many flavours of peaceful Antigua, the ‘beach with an island in the middle’. Immerse yourself in an exotic and amicable world at the geographical, cultural, social and spiritual heart of the Caribbean.

In 1784 Admiral Nelson, attracted by the warm, steady winds, the complex coastline of safe harbours, and the protective, nearly unbroken wall of coral reef., established Great Britain's most important Caribbean base. Little did he know that over 200 years later the same unique characteristics that attracted the Royal Navy would transform Antigua and Barbuda in to one of the Caribbean's most sought after destinations.

The Trade Winds that once blew British men-of-war safely into English Harbour now fuel one of the world's foremost maritime events, Sailing Week. The expansive, winding coastline that made Antigua difficult for outsiders to navigate is where today's travellers encounter a tremendous wealth of secluded, powdery soft beaches. The coral reefs, once the bane of marauding enemy ships, now attract snorkelers and scuba divers from all over the world. For those preferring ‘terra firma’, tennis, golf, squash, hiking and horse riding are among the many land based activities on offer.

The unspoilt, naturally charming resort island of Antigua is the largest of the Leeward Islands and retains an eminence amongst those more selective visitors. The traditions of superb cuisine, smiling faces and a wonderful variety of accommodation ensure a high number of repeat visitors. Carlisle Bay is the perfect example of this, offering a private bay and utter luxury on the southern coast of the island.

Mozambique is located on the southeastern coast of Africa and is bordered by Tanzania to the North, South Africa and Swaziland to the South, Zimbabwe to the West and Zambia and Malawi to the northwest.

Mozambique is one of Africa’s up-and-coming hot-spots, with stunning beaches, excellent diving and magical offshore islands. Go snorkelling around the Bazaruto Archipelago, sail on a dhow through mangrove channels or laze under the palms in the Quirimbas Archipelago, take an off-beat safari in the wilds of Gorongosa National Park, wander along cobbled streets past stately colonial-era buildings on Ilha de Moçambique, sip a café espresso at one of Maputo’s lively sidewalk cafés (or maybe a caipirinha at one of its jazz bars), watch the silversmiths at work on Ibo Island or dance to the country’s trademark marrabenta music.

For almost two decades, many of these attractions were inaccessible due to a protracted guerrilla war. Now dark times are in the past, and Mozambique is one of Africa’s rising stars, with an upbeat atmosphere, overflowing markets and a 2500km coastline waiting to be discovered.

The Mozambique coast faces the Indian Ocean and because of its climate, warm waters and vast beach area is rich in many marine species. The magnificient transparent waters are an irresistible invitation to go swimming, snorkelling and diving and admire the extraordinarily beautiful coral reef and the underwater marine life.

Culturally, Mozambique provides an interesting contrast to other countries in southern and east Africa, with strong European, Arabian and Latin influences. Maputo, the vibrant capital feels more Latin American than African, and in its heyday it was considered to be as beautiful as Cape Town or Rio.

For the moment however, most holiday travellers to Mozambique are attracted to its spectacular beaches and offshore island archipelagos. Two of these have attracted a small number of exclusive beach lodges, such as The Azura Retreat in the Bazaruto Archipelago and the Vamizi Island Lodge in the Quirimbas Archipelago - offering spectacular barefoot luxury amidst the sandy beaches and coral lagoons.

The Middle East is becoming an increasingly popular stopover destination for those travelling to The Indian Ocean, as well as being a fantastic destination in its own right.

Oman has managed to walk a tightrope that some of its neighbours in the Gulf have not been able to - namely to modernize in a way that has not infringed upon the state's Arab soul. No skyscrapers tower above the capital of Muscat, only the tower and dome of the large new mosque built in 2001. The Friday goat and cattle market in Nizwa is not much different today than it was in the middle ages. Nizra, the former capital of Oman, has now been replaced by Muscat, a city often referred to as the 'Jewel of Arabia'.

The Seychelles are some of the most beautiful islands in the world and due to careful growth this natural beauty has been preserved and protected. What better location to enjoy a luxury holiday?

Zanzibar is the ultimate Indian Ocean experience, with its fascinating historical Stone Town and magnificent beaches. It is famous for its clove production and its channels offer some of the best diving experiences in East Africa.

The paradisaical shores of Zanzibar are exotic as its name. Rugged coral and limestone scarps form a sheltered backdrop to tranquil, caster sugar beaches that slope gently down into crystal – clear waters, abundant with marine life. Tall coconut palms and stalking Pandanus cast their wondering shadows over the white sands and swaying hammocks, while Green Wood Hoopoes and Weaver birds flit and flutter between the green leaves and pendulous fruit high above.

Diving from a boat in the clear, blue ocean off Zanzibar is one of the most exhilarating experiences to be had on a holiday in this part of East Africa. The visibility is usually very good, the water warm and the marine life diverse and innumerable: Swaying weeds and soft coral all seethe with minute organisms that are food for the larger species. Shoals of fish weave and dart around in kaleidoscopic ballets, and playful octopus, Cuttlefish, Sea-Urchins, and Sea Cucumbers can be seen at every point.

The island is without doubt the number one beach location in East Africa, an absolutely wonderful island of tropical white-sand beaches, lush plantations, an incredible history and a fascinating culture. Above all, the best about Zanzibar is that despite ever increasing numbers of visitors, it remains resolutely African ... a passionate, intense, and relatively challenging place to visit.

The Kingdom of Cambodia remains one of Asia's most enthralling destinations. A country deeply enriched in its history and culture, it never fails to impress even the most seasoned traveller.

From the deserted beaches on the Gulf of Thailand, to the exotic senses generated during a visit to Phnom Penh, from the deep jungles and minorities of the northwest, to the final mystique and grandeur of the Angkorean period in all its glory, Cambodia is a land of warm, enigmatic people maintaining the richness of their culture for the world to see.

Cambodia hosts one of the greatest archaeological sites in Asia and, arguably, one of the world's most impressive travel highlights. The Angkor complex is a 100,000-acre forested area with the remains of different Khmer monuments and hidden secrets of long forgotten empires. Once home to the largest civilisation in the East, her colossal statues emerge from the tropical jungle where whole temples are slowly being moved by strangling roots; it is difficult to believe that this vast empire was isolated from the outside world for so long. The most famous is Angkor Wat, said to be the world's largest religious monument and a glorious site at sunrise.

Although Angkor is a destination not to be missed, this is by no means all that Cambodia has to offer. You cannot help but be enchanted by strong French colonial roots and the true Asian hospitality of the capital, Phnom Penh. This utopian atmosphere is complemented by bustling scooters, Russian markets and a wonderful choice of delicious cuisine to tempt your palette.

The kingdom of Cambodia has much to offer the inquisitive traveller, from the vibrant city of Phnom Penh, home to the sparkling Silver Pagoda and notorious nearby Killing Fields to the vast temple complex of Angkor Wat, one of the ancient wonders of the world.

In spite of their past suffering in a turbulent civil war, the people are warm and hospitable and illustrate that the Kingdom of Cambodia is a true pioneer by showing the world how to overcome trauma with peace.
