I Can’t Believe These Luxury Trains Actually Exist

This is Luxury Trains Around the World — Season One feature film. One long, cosy, cinematic journey bringing together every luxury train we filmed this season — stitched into a single story about slow travel, family, love, and why trains keep pulling me back. 🎬 Each journey also has its own full episode — the Canyon Spirit episode is coming soon 🚆.

Across Vietnam, Britain, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States, we didn’t just ride trains — I shared them with the people we love most. Husbands, parents, aunties. Early mornings, late nights, way too much coffee, and an irresponsible amount of cheese.

This feature film isn’t a repeat of the episodes.
It’s the why behind them.

The moments between the moments.
The laughter, the nerves, the quiet windows, the feeling of realising you’re exactly where you’re meant to be — on a train, watching the world slide past.

✨ What you’ll see in this film:

• A night train through Vietnam that taught us how to travel slowly
• A 1920s British carriage where my parents experienced luxury for the first time
• A journey into the red heart of Australia where silence became the luxury
• Coming home to New Zealand and seeing my own backyard with fresh eyes
• A brand-new luxury train through the American Southwest that still doesn’t feel real
• Curved rail shots, giant windows, early-morning coffees, late-afternoon light
• The people who make these journeys unforgettable — on and off the train

This film is about distance, but also closeness.
About how trains force you to slow down — and how that changes everything.

Hej hej from the FANCY rails! I’m Chloé — a Kiwi travel creator exploring the world one awkward train moment at a time. My husband Ludvig (dry humour, Swedish passport) joins when he can. Together, we seek out the quirkiest journeys, comfiest cabins, and always squeeze in a touch of luxury when we can (okay, that part’s mostly my idea 😅). We’re all about making travel fun, relatable, and a little bit weird — with a side of scenic magic.💛

Some links are affiliate, which means we might earn a small commission (at no extra cost to you). It helps keep the adventures going — and pays for coffee when the train café runs out of it. And honestly? Every time you use one, it triggers a little happy dance on my end. 🕺 So thank you!
