  • Maharajasโ€™ Express Ticket Cost โ€“ Is It Worth It?

    Hi everyone, Iโ€™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 2025โ€‘26 season? Appreciate a breakdown by cabin type and itinerary!

    Luxury Traveller

    Sure thing! For the 2025โ€‘26 season, here are the perโ€‘person Maharaja Express Ticket fares (twinโ€‘share basis, USD)

      • Junior Suite: $5,300

      • Suite: $8,000

      • Presidential: $13,600

    • Indian Panorama (6โ€ฏN/7โ€ฏD)

      • Deluxe: $7,800

      • Junior Suite: $10,000

      • Suite: $14,500

      • Presidential: $25,000

    • Heritage of India (6โ€ฏN/7โ€ฏD)

      • Junior Suite: $10,400

      • Suite: $14,500

      To dive deeper, here are the singleโ€‘cabin supplements (same season)

    • Deluxe Cabin solo supplement: $3,700โ€“$6,200

    • Junior Suite solo: $4,700โ€“$9,400

    • Suites and Presidential cabins donโ€™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, hereโ€™s the 2025โ€‘26 Deluxe Cabin twinโ€‘share rate

    • Treasures: โ‚น4.35โ€ฏL

    • Splendour/Panorama: โ‚น6.92โ€ฏL

    • Heritage: โ‚น7.28โ€ฏL

    GST (5โ€ฏ%) applies extra.

    Budget Check

    I looked at the 4โ€‘day Treasures of India itinerary price in USD againโ€”Deluxe Cabin at $4,900 (~โ‚น4.35โ€ฏL), 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 7โ€‘night routes run around $1,114/night, slightly cheaper per night but longer. Choices, choices.

    Final Thoughts

    To sum up:

    • Short route (4โ€ฏD): Starts at ~$4.9โ€ฏk/pax.

    • Long routes (7โ€ฏD): Starts at ~$7.8โ€ฏk/pax.

    • Cabin upgrades and solo travel impact price.

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