The Onboard Experience

A journey on board Tangula Luxury Trains is a balance of remote exploration and modern luxury. This unprecedented rail experience delivers you to vast, remote areas of China while you indulge in all that Tangula has to offer. From embarking on adventurous excursions or joining activities in the scenic car to enjoying a glass of Champagne in the intimate sanctuary of your own private suite, you have the freedom to tailor the experience to your own desires.

Unique in China, but also unique on any railway in the world, Tangula's newly custom built trains, with their relaxed elegance, state of the art technology, and world-class service, set new standards of excellence and comfort in rail travel. The contemporary interiors feature natural materials and subtle shades and textures, which are accented with Chinese influences, and create a sense of harmony with the passing landscapes. Personal entertainment systems and onboard oxygen enrichment facilities, allowing you to travel in comfort at altitudes of up to 5,072 meters, are among the many highlights that make our trains the most advanced in the world.

To maintain a sense of exclusivity, Tangula luxury trains carry a maximum of only 96 guests, and Kempinski, Europe’s oldest luxury hotel collection, manages all onboard hospitality to ensure world-class service. Comprised of 15 passenger cars, including 12 accommodation cars with four private suites per car, each suite car has its own bi-lingual 24-hour butler service to anticipate your every need. The trains also feature ample space and convenience for lounging, with two dining cars and a scenic car located at the center of the train. This is the heart of public life aboard Tangula where you can meet and mingle with other passengers and enjoy onboard activities.

The Suite
Enter into your own personal sanctuary. Tangula's private suites bring together the amenities and discreet touches of a modern five-star hotel complete with state of the art technology. Your suite features a smart and contemporary design complemented by a warm palette of colors and natural materials – soft leathers, rich woods and exotic stone, which reflect the panoramic landscapes seen through the enlarged windows.

The Tangula Luxury Train's official launch has been rescheduled from April this year to spring 2010. The delay is due to the current global economic climate.

The new launch date will be finalized in the coming months, however reservations systems remain open for bookings from March 2010 onwards.
