According to Chairman of the Board of Members of Vietnam Railways (VNR), Dang Sy Manh, as of now, the service has seen an increasing number of domestic and international visitors’ tour bookings in 2025. However, the luxury train tour is designed for specific clientele who require the protection of their privacy and the security of personally identifiable information.

Recently, Vietravel, a tour operator, announced that the company is launching luxury train tours targeting wealthy, high-spending customers, including executives and CEOs of corporations and conglomerates.

The train features a 5-star premium interior. Each carriage has its own butler. The ticket for the train tour was priced US$7,320 per person during the launching event and US$8,610 starting in January.

In addition, Vietnam’s railway sector is also making efforts to offer mid-range and high-end meals to passengers.

On April 8, Vietnam Railways (VNR) and TNI King Coffee Co., Ltd. signed a strategic partnership to introduce an ecosystem of food and beverage services to serve travelers.
