International rail holidays

From traversing the idyllic French countryside to visiting the cultural metropolises of Germany and quaint Swiss villages, see Europe from a unique perspective on a great-value rail holiday. For Asian rail holidays, experience the thrill of riding Japan's high-speed Shinkansen as you travel between Tokyo and Osaka, or enjoy a scenic ride on the iconic Trans-Mongolian railway.
