Join me as I embark on a journey that seamlessly blends modern comfort with classic charm as you board the Eurostar train from London St Pancras Station to Amsterdam Centraal Station in Business Premier Class. The adventure begins at St Pancras International station, a bustling hub where Victorian grandeur meets contemporary efficiency. As you step onto the platform, you're enveloped in an atmosphere buzzing with anticipation and excitement. I get to explore the elite Business Premier Lounge at St Pancra International.

As the train glides out of the station, you settle into your seat, greeted by spacious carriages adorned with sleek, modern design. The plush seats invite you to relax and unwind as you watch the English countryside roll by outside your window. Lush green fields, quaint villages, and historic landmarks paint a picturesque backdrop for your travels.

As the train enters the Channel Tunnel, you're momentarily plunged into darkness before emerging into the light on the other side. The journey through the tunnel is brief but fascinating, offering a glimpse into the engineering marvel that connects the UK to mainland Europe.

Once in France, the landscape transforms, giving way to rolling hills and charming French towns. The train makes a brief stop in Lille, a city steeped in history and culture, before continuing on its journey towards the Netherlands.

As you approach Amsterdam, anticipation mounts. The train slows as it nears its destination, and soon the iconic Dutch windmills come into view, signaling your arrival in this vibrant city. The train pulls into Amsterdam Centraal station, where you disembark, ready to explore all that this enchanting city has to offer.

From the comfort and convenience of the Eurostar train, the journey from London to Amsterdam is not just a means of transportation, but an experience in itself—a seamless fusion of comfort, convenience, and the thrill of adventure.

On arrival in Amsterdam I compare the two hotels closest to the station: IBIS Central Amsterdam & Doubletree by Hilton Amsterdam Central Station to see which is the best value for money.

For the return leg back to the UK , I slum it by travelling standard economy class, buying my ticket from a Middleman App TrainLine. I also take the Eurostar Red (Former Thalys) Train to Brussels Midi to save even more money.

Was it all worth the cost... watch and see...
