The Maharajas’ Express combines long-distance rail travel with hotel-style accommodation and curated sightseeing. Its appeal comes from the way the train itself forms a major part of the travel experience.
Cabins designed for long journeys
The official operator lists Deluxe Cabins, Junior Suites, Suites and a Presidential Suite. The larger accommodation categories provide separate living areas and additional services.
Dining onboard
The train has two themed restaurants, Mayur Mahal and Rang Mahal, according to the operator. Meals are incorporated into the journey, allowing guests to dine while travelling between destinations.
Lounge and social spaces
The train also has lounge and bar facilities. These spaces are designed to give passengers an area to relax between sightseeing excursions.
Off-board experiences
The Maharajas’ Express itinerary is not limited to train travel. Guests leave the train for monuments, heritage sites and wildlife experiences depending on the selected circuit.
A premium rail format
This combination of accommodation, meals, transport and excursions is what distinguishes the Maharajas’ Express from conventional passenger trains. It is designed as a destination-focused luxury tour rather than simply a means of getting from one city to another.
