For nearly a century, the Star Atlantic has made its sixteen day voyage from London to Athens, making several stops on its journey. Paris, Milan, and Venice are just a few of the hotspots passengers can expect to visit and worry not, passengers on the Star Atlantic are given a room at every stop on the trip at one of the numerous hotels its parent company owns leaving passengers with one less worry on their European tour. The approach to comfort and luxury for everyone aboard and about is just one of the reasons why the Star Atlantic is the first name in locomotive tourism. You haven't truly seen Europe until you've seen it from the window of a Star Atlantic car with your fellow passengers; truly there's something special about a tangle of strangers pressed together for days on end with nothing in common other than the need to go from one place to another!
If you can’t afford the expensive ticket to ride, don’t worry — as part of its centennial celebration, the Star Atlantic is offering a lottery system. Anyone can sign up, and there’s a chance to be among five lucky winners who will enjoy the Star Atlantic’s luxury free of charge!
Originally owned by a Belgian company, the Star Atlantic has been halted for almost two years while undergoing a transition to a wealthy American family. There have been a few changes during the transition, namely the management and updating of the coaches to be more modern. While some purists online haven’t approved of the changes, claiming they’re ruining the spirit of the engine by updating it with modern amenities, the Star Atlantic is seeing a resurgence of success — some people point to the most controversial change: a new rule dictating that you must be eighteen years or older to travel on the Star Atlantic.
The Star Atlantic’s kitchen staff is one of the only things the new owners haven’t changed. They believe the food and dessert offered on the locomotive to already be top notch. However, they have hired a new bartender, and the alcohol flows freely on the train. Neither food nor drink come at a price for passengers on this train.
Despite the online complaints from the somewhat passionate fanbase an old train seems to have, the current conductor, James Lincoln, has no plans to back down from the change. With a statement that plainly says he cannot be held responsible for what boredom, anonymity, and a constant gentle rocking brings on the train, Mr. Lincoln is preparing to embark on the Star Atlantic’s first trip under its new ownership, and its first of the line’s 100th anniversary.
