International rail holidays

Tick the iconic rides such as Rocky Mountaineer or Venice Simplon-Orient-Express off your bucket list and explore the world on an international rail holiday.

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.
