Inspiring Rail Journeys

For travellers who seek the journey as much as the destination, step aboard and enjoy the ride of your life. Spectacular sights, unique locations and the timeless click-clack of the rails beneath you.

Look forward to seeing the world in an entirely different way - From varied rail journeys through the Pyrenees crossing from Spain to France, exploring medieval cities and lush green valleys amongst the wonderful mountainous views. Or if it's an adventure further afield you are after, then why not take an exciting trip through Canada on the world famous Rocky Mountaineer, enjoying countless beautiful attractions and a spectacular rail trip right through the iconic landscape of the Rockies. Travelling on the Rocky Mountaineer is an experience like no other - with an average speed of 30 mph, it really showcasing the passing landscapes through panoramic domed windows and from open air viewing platforms. Another one of our favourite rail holidays is The Best of Switzerland - where you can travel through Switzerland’s untouched landscapes and stunning scenery on several historic railways including The Bernina Express, the Glacier Express and the iconic Golden Pass Train, discovering elegant towns, romantic castles and delicious cuisine. And how can we talk about iconic rail trips without mentioning the awesome Shinkansen Bullet Trains of Japan - the fastest and most convenient way of discovering Japan. On our Land of the Rising Sun tour, we travel from Takayama to Kyoto and onto Hiroshima on these revolutionary trains that can reach a top speed of 199mp/h.
