There are six Grand Suites on the train and each one is uniquely decorated to reflect a different city (Vienna, Prague, Paris, Istanbul, Venice and Budapest). Expect plenty of period features, delicate light fixtures, polished cherrywood marquetry and marble ensuite bathrooms. Exquisite food (think lobster, veal chops and tarte tatin) is served in the dining car, and there’s also a 24-hour butler onboard.
