GLACIER EXPRESS EXPERIENCE

                              

There are three options to choose from when booking your Glacier Express holiday, these are:

Standard Class: 

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: 

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.
