A panoramic trip through the Swiss Alps aboard the Glacier Express is now even more spectacular. The new Excellence Class sets standards that are as high as the mountain peaks along the legendary route. With a guaranteed window seat, a five-course menu, a dedicated concierge and the Glacier Bar, Excellence Class is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, given that there are only 20 seats on each journey. 

First class seats onboard the Glacier Express are configured in a two-by-one arrangement across the aisle. This means that opposite every table for four is a table for two, allowing for more seating options. As there are fewer seats, they are slightly larger, with more leg and elbow room as well as more space for luggage storage. All of the seats line up perfectly next to the large panoramic windows, to really maximize the views of the stunning Swiss scenery. As with Standard Class, passengers will be offered a meal and drinks at their seat and can choose from both a set menu and à la carte dining options cooked onboard by a regional chef. 

Standard class seating on the Glacier Express is arranged two by two across the aisle, all seats are configured as part of a table for four people. All seats line up perfectly with the large panoramic windows, meaning that there is a perfect view of the stunning scenery that is an integral part of the journey onboard “the slowest express train in the world”. Standard Class passengers will be offered a meal and drinks at their seat and can choose from both a set menu and à  la carte dining options.
