A rail holiday offers one of the most immersive and rewarding ways to explore the world, combining comfort, spectacular scenery and a sense of adventure.
In Europe, our featured journeys range from Belmond’s iconic luxury trains, including the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, Royal Scotsman and Britannic Explorer, to Italy’s La Dolce Vita Orient Express and Spain’s finest rail routes, all set against a backdrop of world-class food, wine, history and culture.
Further afield, our experts showcase Rocky Mountaineer’s spectacular routes through British Columbia, Alberta and the canyons of the American Southwest, as well as a range of rail and wildlife combinations in South Africa. We also feature two of Australia’s most celebrated rail journeys, special departures aboard the Eastern & Oriental Express, and a pair of unforgettable journeys through India travelling on the legendary Maharajas’ Express. But it’s not all about luxury.
We also show you how to make the most of local rail networks in destinations as diverse as France, Japan, Portugal and Switzerland, where regional trains combine with some of Europe’s most spectacular mountain railways.
