    Maharajas’ Express Ticket Cost – Is It Worth It?

    Hi everyone, I’ve been dreaming of a luxury train journey aboard the Maharajas Express Train. Could anyone give me an idea of the ticket prices for the 2025‑26 season? Appreciate a breakdown by cabin type and itinerary!

    Luxury Traveller

    Sure thing! For the 2025‑26 season, here are the per‑person Maharaja Express Ticket fares (twin‑share basis, USD)

    • Treasures of India (3 N/4 D)

      • Deluxe Cabin: $4,900

      • Junior Suite: $5,300

      • Suite: $8,000

      • Presidential: $13,600

    • Indian Panorama (6 N/7 D)

      • Deluxe: $7,800

      • Junior Suite: $10,000

      • Suite: $14,500

      • Presidential: $25,000

    • Heritage of India (6 N/7 D)

      • Deluxe: $8,200

      • Junior Suite: $10,400

      • Suite: $14,500

      • Presidential: $25,000

      To dive deeper, here are the single‑cabin supplements (same season)

    • Deluxe Cabin solo supplement: $3,700–$6,200

    • Junior Suite solo: $4,700–$9,400

    • Suites and Presidential cabins don’t add an extra for solo travel (same person price).

    Prices include accommodation, meals, soft drinks, house alcohol, guided tours, entrance fees, and porterage. Not included: premium booze, laundry, insurance, tips, and camera fees.

    If you’re paying in INR, here’s the 2025‑26 Deluxe Cabin twin‑share rate

    • Treasures: ₹4.35 L

    • Splendour/Panorama: ₹6.92 L

    • Heritage: ₹7.28 L

    GST (5 %) applies extra.

    Budget Check

    I looked at the 4‑day Treasures of India itinerary price in USD again—Deluxe Cabin at $4,900 (~₹4.35 L), or ~$9,780 total for a double cabin

    Curious Traveler

    Thanks all! So, best value per night? The Treasures route is roughly $1,225/night in a Deluxe cabin. Meanwhile, the 7‑night routes run around $1,114/night, slightly cheaper per night but longer. Choices, choices.

    Final Thoughts

    To sum up:

    • Short route (4 D): Starts at ~$4.9 k/pax.

    • Long routes (7 D): Starts at ~$7.8 k/pax.

    • Cabin upgrades and solo travel impact price.

    • Always check if prices are for USD or INR & note extra GST.
