Going Around the World by Train
Round-the-world railway journey that spans four continents, starting from London, Sydney or Chicago
At a price tag of US$20,000 per person, not including flights, the eight-week journey will take in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia

Railbookers has launched an ambitious round-the-world railway journey that spans four continents on an eight-week itinerary. Depending on which Railbookers website you use – United Kingdom, Australia or the United States – you can begin this epic adventure in London, Sydney or Chicago.
From London, the route runs down to Venice, via Paris, Geneva and Rome, then it’s back up through central Europe to Scandinavia, and over to Moscow to catch the Trans-Siberian Railway to Mongolia. From there the route heads south to Hong Kong via Beijing and Xian, and to Chek Lap Kok for a flight to Perth, whence the Indian Pacific train will carry you to Sydney. After a flight across the Pacific, it’s all aboard for New York with sightseeing Amtrak trains such as the Southwest Chief and California Zephyr via Chicago and Los Angeles, before a flight to London.
Altogether there are 41 hotel nights, 11 nights on sleeper trains, and one night on a ferry. Of the 50 included meals, 39 are breakfast, seven lunch and four dinner, so you’ll be fending for yourself much of the time, and probably visiting quite a few dining cars. There are also many side trips and tours along the way, from the Great Wall to the Grand Canyon. Prices start from around US$20,000 per person (not including the three international flights) if booked through the US site, with weekly departures. Visit railbookers.com
for a full itinerary, or select the UK or Australia sites from the menu bar.

The channel tunnel between the UK and France might not be an issue but someone should tell him about the bit between Europe and the Americas.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never allow the dumb ones to lead the pack.

Re: Going Around the World by Train
" 11nights on sleeper trains" Awesome way to travel! But I wonder what kind of seating (window, economy) you'll have the rest of the way? A lot of days squeezed in like a sardine a possibility (think China eastern)
Re: Going Around the World by Train
Some of those overnight Chinese trains have standing tickets. The locals just suck it up.
