taking you through the very heart of each destination.

BEST OF SCOTLAND
There is so much more to Scotland than bagpipes,
tartan and mythical monsters. Travelling through
the country's rolling west, an amphitheatre of
steely lochs and enchanting glens lie in wait as
you begin your ascent into the Scottish Highlands.
Feeling as though you've stepped straight onto
a film set, learn about age-old clans as you visit
historic castles and the charming Isle of Mull in
the Inner Hebrides. Nothing could top off this
wonderful round trip like a fun evening on the
stately Royal Mile in Edinburgh, a city long held
in the hearts of discerning travellers.
SCANDINAVIAN SPLENDOUR
The heavenly fjords of Norway combine with
Sweden's tranquil landscapes and colourful
cottages on an epic journey that includes every
great Scandinavian rail experience. Cross the
Arctic Circle into Swedish Lapland, so remote
that the average number of people per square
kilometre is just two. This isolation results in
friendly locals who can't wait to meet you and
share their stories and culture. You'll also follow
the River Rauma as it winds through windswept
plateaus, and traverse railways that are among
the highest and steepest in Europe.
ANDALUCIAN SPAIN
A journey to Spain promises to be a glorious
mélange of vibrancy, flavour and colour, such
is the seductive nature of this country. You'll
begin in Madrid, Spain's bustling capital, before
discovering the rich cultural heritage of Andalucia.
Feel alive in the pulsating city of Seville, which
burns with the passion of Flamenco dance.
Next up is sunny Granada, famous for its
Moorish citadel, the Alhambra. Then there's
Barcelona, a city captivating in its cosmopolitan
style, unique architecture and world-renowned
dining – the delights are endless.
