There is a version of travel that has nothing to do with arriving. The journeys collected here belong to that version. The train itself is the experience. A private jet delivers you somewhere faster. A yacht keeps you on the water. A train puts you inside a landscape — moving through it at a pace that allows the eye to register what the window reveals.
The journeys gathered here range from the mythologized — the Venice-Simplon Orient Express, the Royal Scotsman, La Dolce Vita — to the continent-spanning: Rovos Rail's fifteen nights from Cape Town to Dar es Salaam, Golden Eagle's two weeks across Central Asia to Samarkand, the Eastern & Oriental Express through the Malaysian jungle, the Andean Explorer across the altiplano at dawn.
The destination, in each case, becomes almost incidental.
