Honeymoon by Train


By Guy Antonelli

Are you looking for a way to take a unique honeymoon and see the countryside at the same time? Then consider taking a honeymoon by train. Whether you prefer to travel through North America or Europe, you are sure to find the perfect train excursion for your post-wedding getaway.

When most people think of travel, they think of cars and planes. We forget about taking a trip by train. Travelling by train is great for people who not only want to get from Point A to Point B, but who also want to enjoy the trip along the way.

There are a variety of things that can make riding a train a pleasant way to travel for your honeymoon. For one thing, neither of you will have to drive. This means no arguments over asking for directions, no backseat driving, no disagreements over when to stop, and therefore, no stress! When you travel together by train, the honeymooners can actually spend time enjoying each other's company. You can get meals, play cards, or just relax and talk.

Trains can also have some advantages over flying. The biggest one is that a train does allow you to slow down and take a break from the rat race. For those ladies who do not like to travel light, you also won't face all of the annoying luggage and security restrictions of air travel. (Bring your full-size toiletries, if you want!)

Since you are planning a honeymoon, you want to take a few steps to make your train trip as pleasant as possible. Definitely plan to reserve seats in first class or business class. Depending on the train, this can mean that you get your own little private cabin. Much more romantic than being stuffed in with everyone else. For longer journeys, such as cross-country, you will want to have a sleeping cabin (you are on your honeymoon, after all - you can't spend your wedding night sleeping in seats!).

There are train routes, both in North America and in Europe, that travel some very scenic routes. Many will also be a great way to explore several different cities, so take plenty of time to investigate your options before booking your honeymoon. There are also some luxury trains available, for the honeymooners that like to travel in style.

Since the dining car on many trains isn't anything special, it would be nice to break up your train trip with some overnight stays in the cities along the way. Call ahead, and book a romantic dinner at the fanciest restaurant in town. Be sure to bring along some nice clothes and jewelry so that you can dress up for the occasion. The bride can bring along the wedding jewelry gifts that her husband gave her when they got married. If the new husband wants to make a very romantic gesture on the honeymoon, he could pick out another piece of jewelry that matches the wedding gifts he gave her. That would make a fabulous surprise on either the first or last night of the honeymoon.

When planning your honeymoon, look for trips that will allow you to relax and take it easy with your new spouse. Taking a honeymoon by train can be a very nice way to travel at a more relaxed pace and to see the country at the same time. All Aboard!
