Your first day
sets the tone
Begin with fast-track and lounge access at St Pancras. On Eurostar, enjoy champagne, wine and a three-course meal with attentive service in Premier Class. In Paris, a VIP Meet & Greet escort meets you on the platform and leads you to your chauffeured car for a short drive to your centrally located hotel for two nights.
Italian style
and glamour
From Paris onward, every journey on your way to Rome is in premium first class on Italy’s flagship Frecciarossa high-speed service. Enjoy acres of personal space and attentive service from the Executive Class steward as he supplies you with lunch, prosecco, wine and espresso.
Effortless
travel days
With premium first class this good, the four direct journeys are almost too short. Paris-Milan is a leisurely seven hours, but the other three legs are just a couple of hours, leaving you plenty of time to explore each new city.
Seamless departures
and arrivals
Chauffeured cars await in every city to whisk you from the railway station to your hotel - and vice versa.
Complete peace
of mind
You travel independently, but Silver Tray is always behind you. Should any issues arise with trains, hotels or transfers, our team is available 24/7 to assist. We handle all the practicalities and it never costs you a penny extra.
Your journey day by day
Depart London in style as you are whisked through St Pancras
fast-track security, and welcomed into one of Europe’s finer
railway station lounges. As you board your Eurostar train,
you are welcomed into the premium first Premier coach
where champagne, wine and a three-course meal are awaiting.
Expect personal and attentive service throughout the journey.
Of course you also arrive at Paris in style: We have booked VIP
Meet & Greet service for you. They will welcome you the moment
you step off the Eurostar train and onto the platform at Gare du
Nord and escort you to your waiting chauffeured car. A short while
later you arrive at your perfectly located hotel for the next two
nights in Paris.
Board the Italian state railway’s flagship, Frecciarossa
and take your seat in the finest premium first class
on the continent, with only ten ultra-wide and supremely
comfortable reclining seats in the entire car. A steward is at
your beck and call, with wine and prosecco on constant offer,
as well as a four-course a-la-carte lunch.
You travel at blazing speeds until Lyon, but then the train slows
as it veers east and begins a scenic traverse of the Alps into
Italy. Flat fields yield to ever higher hills and eventually snow-
capped mountains. The oldest railway tunnel in Europe barrels
you under Mont Cenis, and when you reemerge into the
sunshine you are in Italy.Â
A chauffeured car whisks you from your Milan hotel
to the  gargantuan edifice that is Milano Centrale,
and you board the Frecciarossa high-speed for the
300 km/h journey to Florence. You travel in great
comfort in Executive Class with lunch and wine served
at your seat by the car’s attentive steward.
It is a mere 90 minutes journey from the heart of the
Renaissance to the capital of the Roman Empire,
so you barely have time to enjoy the glimpses of the
Tuscan landcape as you relax in the spacious surroundings
in Executive Class and sip on the glass of Prosecco that
the attentive steward has supplied you with.
“Life is hard.
Everything is a struggle.
Nobody is going to
give you everything
on a SILVER TRAY.”
As with life, so it is with rail vacations. There is enchantment and joy out there, but most travelers struggle finding it. A European rail vacation can give you grand panoramas and luxurious journeys, but these experiences are needles in a haystack of bad trains, disappointing routes and stressful connections.
We were founded to serve perfect rail vacation on a silver tray. We wish to reimagine the romance of rail travel, and aim to make even the grandest rail adventures across the continent a relaxed joy.
Silver Tray can serve you these great experiences because we know all the great trains and stunning railroads on the continent. Just as crucially, we also know what to avoid.
We use the same trains you’ll find in any timetable, we just know where the treasures are buried. We book you in the best seats, always choose premium first class with food and wine served at your seat where available, and whisk you between hotels and railway stations by chauffeured cars.
You typically only travel for a handful of hours and usually have two nights to discover the next destination on your itinerary.
We handpick perfectly located hotels in the heart of every city, and your only decision is whether you prefer four-star comfort or five-star luxury. Either way, your rail experience is the same – the best you can get in that particular valley or over that stunning mountain pass.
You travel independently, but we’ve always got your back. We take responsibility for any mishap on your journey – be it a train cancellation, strike or avalanche. Our team can be reached by a dedicated phone number around the clock, and we usually save the day in a matter of minutes.
Silver Tray is based in Copenhagen, Denmark. Your vacation is secured through the Danish Travel Guarantee Fund, one of the most comprehensive consumer protection schemes in the world.
