This one river cruise company I looked at once for fun offers cruise and train combo trips (i.e. Switzerland to Italy). I didn't look at the current prices, but I think the trips began at around 6 or 7k and soared from there - in the five figures for a 2-week trip depending on accommodations. The train (looked it up) has regular sleeping cabins, a dining room with white tablecloths and fancy waiters with gloves and the lounge cabin has live music (like a harpist or a pianist).
Sounds like a lovely, if pricey, time. Where's Lester Lanin when we need him? Or maybe, that's where he went...............?
