Discover the Romance of Rail
The whistle sounds, the wheels turn and you gaze wistfully out the window – the journey begins.
Holidays by rail aren't something new – in the golden age of travel they opened
up the world to adventure-seekers who wanted to experience the pleasures
of life abroad in a comfortable, convenient and completely relaxing way.
We have sought to recreate this ideal by taking you on an incredible journey
along Europe's illustrious railways.
WHY TAKE THE TRAIN?
Nowadays, when speed of arrival seems to be
the imperative, the enjoyment of the journey
itself is often overlooked. On our premium
rail holidays, we return you to a time when
travelling was an art in itself. The pleasure
of simply experiencing some of Europe's most
famous trains and railways will be a memorable
part of your holiday, with a constant panorama
of countryside and cityscape that will put
you right at the heart of the countries you're
travelling through.
CAPTIVATING SCENERY
The ever-changing scenery will enthral you
as you're whisked through diverse landscapes
and isolated villages that cannot be accessed
by any other form of transport. Whether you're
following the tracks between the undulating
hills of Tuscany; making horseshoe curves,
twists and turns through mountainous ravines
in the Alps; or passing Andalucia's lofty villages
and orange blossoms, the train provides the
ideal viewpoint, making each journey both
a contrast and a highlight.
A MORE COMFORTABLE
WAY TO TRAVEL
It won't take you long to realise why so many
travellers rave about taking the train, some
calling it their best friend in Europe. It really
is your perfect travel companion. With ample
leg room, you're able to sit back and relax in
your seat or enjoy a quiet read. You can sample
delicious meals, snacks and drinks, either
served at your seat or in the restaurant or bar.
If you wish, you can stretch your legs and walk
around, and perhaps enjoy a chat with your
Tour Manager and fellow travellers. An exciting
adventure awaits every time you step aboard
– and you are always looking forward to the
next one.
