There are three options to choose from when booking your Glacier Express holiday, these are:
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 a perfect view of the stunning scenery.
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 and more space for luggage storage.
Standard Class & First-Class passengers can purchase meals and drinks at their seat and can choose from a set menu and à la carte dining options. Discover our prices for these Glacier Express tours by clicking the link below.
