More about our rail vacations

Great vacations are about finding time and space away from your day-to-day life back home. Remarkable rail journeys can open your eyes to mind-blowing scenery that’s otherwise inaccessible and help you unwind to the rhythm of the journey through snow-capped mountains, lush green countryside and charming towns and villages.

Getting a great night’s sleep

The UK has a rich railway tradition, and you can travel between London and Edinburgh on the famous Caledonian Sleeper service. These two capital cities are among Europe’s finest when it comes to historic landmarks such as the Houses of Parliament, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Edinburgh Castle and Greyfriars Bobby.

The Good Night Sleeper train takes you from Amsterdam to Berlin on another renowned rail vacation. Traveling by train overnight may be new to you, but it’s a great experience and an effortless option to get from the Netherlands to Germany.

Discover some of central Europe’s finest routes

We also have a German escape deal as part of our rail vacations offering. You’ll make your way to four different destinations, after departing Frankfurt. There are plenty of top-class attractions in Heidelberg, Baden-Baden, Offenburg and Frieburg just waiting to be discovered.

In nearby Switzerland, you can choose from four of the world’s most spectacular rail routes, the Bernina Express, Glacier Express, Golden Pass and the Chocolate Train. We could use lots of superlatives to describe the views from the carriages high in the Alps, but it would still be difficult to do them justice. It’s best you book your rail vacation to see and appreciate them for yourself.

Vibrant rail vacations in various destinations

You can also take to the rails in Southern Italy, Romania, Spain and Scandinavia, among other countries. Many of these trips provide a quality culinary experience on board, so you can sample the food and drink from the regions you’re passing through.

Whether you’re looking for a romantic rail vacation or want to go away with a group of friends to mark a special occasion, you’ll find the perfect trip within our selection of rail travel packages.
