Who said train travel can’t be both luxurious and a tad eccentric? The Vietage train car in Vietnam is here to prove otherwise. Let’s explore what makes this opulent train stand out from the crowd and why it’s the ultimate ride for those seeking something a little unconventional.
A privately-owned luxury carriage, Vietage attaches to the conventional, state-owned train. We knew while planning our debut Vietnam rail trip for December, this is one experience that we could never leave out.
So, what makes the Vietage a showstopper? For one, it offers a culinary extravaganza that outshines even the most exclusive restaurants. A team of culinary wizards whips up a three-course menu, combining Vietnamese flavours with international flair. And for the wine enthusiasts, each dish is paired with a fitting selection that’ll make your taste buds dance.
Think the food is the pinnacle of the experience? Think again. The Vietage is also home to an onboard spa zone for indulgent head and shoulders massage treatments, ensuring passengers can relax and recharge while soaking in Vietnam’s scenery. A rejuvenating massage at 50 mph? Sign us up!
But we can’t forget the real star of the show: the views. The Vietage’s large windows act as a frame for the ever-changing masterpiece that is Vietnam’s landscape. From lush fields to rugged coastlines, you’ll be captivated without us having to resort to tired, overused adjectives.
And if you’re wondering whether the Vietage has a heart, the answer is yes. The train has partnered with the “Change for the Better” program, and a portion of each ticket sale contributes to healthcare, education, and housing for underprivileged communities in central Vietnam. Luxury with a cause? Now that’s something worth boarding for.
The Vietage train redefines luxury rail travel, merging extravagance with a dash of quirkiness. So, if you’re in search of an unforgettable and offbeat experience on rails, the Vietage is your ticket to ride.
