The Deccan Odyssey, India
Aboard this rolling pleasure palace, Presidential Suites are decorated with carvings and fabrics that reflect regional landscapes, architecture, and handicrafts. Sprawling across half of a train car, each of these mini palaces features a separate sitting room, a flat-screen television, a stereo system, and a fully stocked pantry. Onboard amenities include a fitness gym and a spa with Ayurvedic massage and steam baths.
Deluxe Detail: Not one, but two bathrooms in the Presidential Suite.
September–April, a weeklong trip through India’s Maharashtra and Goa states costs $750 per night for single occupancy in a Presidential Suite; $1,300 for double occupancy. These rates increase by $200 and $350, respectively, during the rest of the year.
