Fully air-conditioned, India’s premier luxury train offers a choice of ‘Viceroy Class’ en suite cabins with either twin or double beds – or ‘Maharaja Suite’, in which the cabins have a separate sitting room and two bathrooms.

All cabins are exceedingly spacious – helped by the generous proportions of the country’s broad gauge railway.

Our train includes two splendid restaurant cars, offering a wonderful variety of international cuisine. Tended by staff from the world-renowned Taj Hotel Group, the Indian and international food offered here is to the very highest culinary standards. Traditionally decorated, these beautifully-designed cars offer a superb and relaxed venue in which to enjoy your meals while watching India’s remarkable scenery slip past the windows.

Another highlight is the splendidly-appointed lounge car, which includes a well stocked bar offering the perfect surroundings for a quiet drink with your fellow passengers. A particularly attractive feature of the Deccan Odyssey is its spa car: here passengers can relax and enjoy a traditional Ayurvedic massage, work out in the gym, visit the on board hairdressing salon or enjoy the heat of the sauna even while the train is underway. For those seeking other ways to spend their time, the reception car also has a library and reading area a fullyequipped business centre and a plasma TV screen.
