It will be the first luxury hotel train in Central Europe and is iset to bring a whole new meaning to the phrase “travel in Style”.
The Times 15.12.2007
Eat your heart of, Hercule Poirot. Bookings have opened for a new luxury train that will leave the legendary Orient Express standing at the buffers. The Danube Express will tour Eastern and Central Europe from Budapest. The “deluxe” compartments have en suite loos and showers, facilities that the antique carriages of the Venice-Simplon Orient Express lack
The Observer 30.12.07
Travellers are beginning to realise that the term “no-frills” is shorthand for “intense misery”, what with security queues, the being barked at like an errant two-year-old, and the cancellations – never mind the carbon emissions. This really could be the age of the train. I quite fancy a “deluxe compartment” on the Danube Express. Billed as a luxury “hotel on wheels” from May it will run from Budapest to cities including Istanbul, Prague, Krakow and Berlin, pulled by a modern electric locomotive.

Setting off on its inaugural trip in 2008, the Danube Express will be the first luxury train in Central Europe. Stylish sleeping cars, a fancy restaurant and lounge bar with pianist tinkling away all aim to bring back old-style glamour to train travel.

Pretend you’re Cary Grant or Daniel Craig with a romantic train journey on board the Danube Express, which makes its first journey. A five star luxury hotel train, it will offer itineraries including Prague, Krakow, Berlin and a Vienna Lakes and Mountains tour.
The Sunday Times 6.01.08
The Orient Express is romantic, but those vintage carriages have a drawback – our grandparents didn’t expect a shower. Hmm. Glamorous, but your co-travellers might be a little whiffy. Europe’s newest “hotel on wheels”, the Danube Express, promises something more sanitary (showers for each carriage, ensuites in deluxe class), but with plenty of traditional luxury.
