What is business/excellence/prestige class?

• Some European trains, especially scenic or tourist trains, have a class even more luxurious than 1st class. The name of this service varies per train and country, e.g. Business, Excellence, or Prestige.
• Most trains in Europe do not have this service, and typically only have 1st and 2nd class. Our Rail Tours are therefore only offered in these two classes, but in some rail tours a (partial) upgrade is included or available as an optional extra.
• For more details on these classes in scenic trains, please see the Scenic Trains page.
