Quantcast

Ludacris and his wife Eudoxie just proved that sometimes, the journey can be just as amazing as the destination. The couple, who married in 2014, just stepped their date night game up a notch with a luxury overnight train ride that had romance written all over it. While taking the train may seem like a method of transportation that is mundane or outdated, booking a trip might just be the bougie baecation of your dreams.

Equipped with luxurious beds, champagne, and 24-hour maid service, the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express is the amorous adventure you didn't know you needed. The train, which travels overnight from Paris to Venice, runs through both France and Switzerland and offers a full bar, caviar, and music from a talented pianist that is sure to set the mood for your evening with bae.

If seeing Europe isn't really on your list of baecation destinations at the moment, there are a number of other luxury passenger trains that will offer a brag-worthy date night experience while allowing you to explore uncharted territories through your bedroom window at the same time.

Here are three other luxury train experience that you and your boo need to add to your bucket list ASAP, and you'll never look at Amtrak the same.

April is a month to slow down and to fully grasp what has been. The month starts in fiery Aries Season, but we are also in the thick of Retrograde Season as we begin the month as well. Thankfully, Mercury finally goes direct on April 7, after being retrograde mid-March, and communication matters are clearing up. This is a month of mental clarity, a fresh start, and not being afraid to dream a little bigger.

On April 12, there is a Full Moon in Libra, and this Full Moon brings relationship and financial matters full circle. This is the time to let go of what doesn’t make you feel balanced or in harmony and to create space for more peace to enter your life. Venus goes direct in Pisces on the same day, after being retrograde since March 1, and love is healing. With Venus now direct, there are more opportunities for commitment and longevity in love, and there is overall a greater feeling of romance, receptivity, and compassion in the air now.
