"The epic circumnavigation kicks off in Vancouver on September 2, 2026, when passengers will hop aboard the Rocky Mountaineer to Banff, before flying to the UK for journeys along the Royal Scotsman and the new Britannic Explorer. Then it's off to Italy for a ride on the iconic Venice Simplon-Orient-Express to Istanbul via Paris. After jetting off to Delhi for a six-night adventure on the Maharajas' Express (making stops at Ranthambore National Park and Fatehpur Sikri), guests will then fly to South Africa, making their way to Victoria Falls and Kruger National Park aboard the illustrious Rovos Rail, before ending the trip in Singapore on the Eastern & Oriental Express."
