Immerse yourself in a luxurious ambience and enjoy unique experiences as they were understood by art de vivre in the “Golden Twenties” – a way of life and joie de vivre at its finest. In this legendary era, the aristocracy, adventurers and industrialists discovered the most beautiful capitals, the most romantic places, the Côte d’Azur, the most magnificent Alpine panoramas or the mysterious Orient from such veritable palaces of the great European express trains.

The sumptuous interiors of the noble trains were designed by internationally renowned artists and craftsmen, and the most famous chefs of their time conjured up delicious dishes to create an unforgettable travel experience.

The “Prestige Continental Express” was born out of love for true beauty and elegance. In 1999, a former DB dining car called “Le Salon Bleu” was acquired by a railway expert and converted in the style of an “Orient Express” saloon car. This was followed by “Le Rubis Noir” in 2005 and “Le Diamant Bar” in 2006.
