Wendy Wu Tours has launched a new 14-day ultra-luxury expedition along the Silk Road.

Called Legends of the Silk Road, the journey features five-star private train travel, VIP access to cultural sites and gourmet dining. 

There is only one departure, in September 2025, priced from £13,390pp.

Clients will spend three nights aboard the Silk Road Express. The five-star train will traverse the Taklamakan Desert and Tian Shan Mountains.

Upon arrival, guests will retreat to luxury and boutique hotels, enjoy gourmet cuisine curated by top chefs and gain behind-the-scenes access to the Silk Road’s most coveted sites. 

The itinerary includes VIP access to the UNESCO-listed ancient Buddhist Mogao Caves, Kashgar’s Sunday Bazaar, dining under the stars in the desert, and a private tour of the Terracotta Warriors in Xian.

Head of Trade Sales Gary King said: “We’re providing agents with a high-commission product that delivers on every level — exclusivity, luxury and cultural depth. 

“Our comprehensive trade support, including dedicated sales assistance, marketing assets and in-depth product training, ensures agents have everything they need to sell this successfully. With only one exclusive departure in September 2025, this is a unique opportunity to secure high-value bookings in a rapidly growing sector.”
