The Spirit of Chartwell is an unusual addition to the Luxury Train Club, as it is a luxury River Cruiser. However, the interiors, atmosphere and attentive service are redolent of a luxury train. Indeed, the inspiration behind the riverboat’s public areas was the Rene Lalique 1929 Pullman car ‘Cote d’Azur’ operated by the Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits. It was previously based in London, England, when in 2012 it was completely refurbished for The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. It played a major role in the Thames Pageant, where it was in the flotilla as The Royal Barge, and carried Her Majesty Queen Elisabeth and HRH Prince Philip. This riverboat defines luxury Douro River cruising, setting the standard for service and quality. The finest interior furnishings, the impressive amount of space, and the high number of staff members per guest, all work together to create an elegant, club-like atmosphere for the fortunate few; an environment where every need is predicted and promptly attended to during the calm passage along the majestic Douro River Valley.
