Whether it’s for the holidays or just because, our Rail Experts can help you with the perfect rail journey to create memories for a lifetime.

Below are some suggestions for trips that might fit the bill and help you check off your list this holiday season:

For the Foodie

Mangia, mangia, mangia in Italy with our Rome, Florence and Cinque Terre holiday! Sample the best pastas, pizzas, pestos and more on this trip where you will have ample time to explore the fabulous cuisine of Rome as well as Tuscan specialities in Florence – even taking time to sample wine and make your own pesto in Cinque Terre! Ask our Rail Experts about additional gourmet excursions, like market tours and cooking classes.

For the History Enthusiast

For the history buff, the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express journeys are an exceptional choice. This iconic train takes them back in time, retracing the legendary route from Venice to Paris and elsewhere in Europe. They'll relish the elegance of the Belle Époque era while savouring gourmet cuisine and staying in luxurious cabins.

For the Nature Lover

The Trans-Canada and Rockies Adventure with Rocky Mountaineer itinerary allows them to soak in the awe-inspiring beauty of the Canadian wilderness. They'll traverse the Rocky Mountains, witness stunning glaciers, and spot wildlife while enjoying the comfort of the train. Whether it’s the luxury of the Rocky Mountaineer or the comfort of VIA Rail, they’re bound to love their Canadian journey.

For the Wine Lover

Our Paris, Normandy, The Loire Valley, and Bordeaux trip features two different wine excursions in the renowned Loire Valley along with the vineyards of Saint-Émilion. In addition to wine-focused activities, they’ll also experience a private tour of the Normandy Landing Beaches and two nights enjoying Paris. We’ll cheer to that!

For the Photographer

One of our most popular itineraries is bound to provide some shutter-stopping views as well. Scenic Switzerland from Zurich includes three different Swiss mountain excursions, where they can focus on the iconic Alpine views, as well as three famous scenic trains that will keep those cameras busy.

For the Romantic

Nothing says love (or “amour”) quite like the City of Lights, which is why we recommend making Paris a part of your romantic gift getaway. Whether it’s the starting point for exploring France or a gateway to western and central Europe, there’s nothing quite like the Eiffel Tower or a Seine River cruise to set the mood. Even better, we have many options for luxurious hotel accommodations and other splurges in Paris and beyond!

For the Seasoned Traveler

Our Signature Collection of itineraries is guaranteed to provide a new and memorable experience for the person who thinks they’ve seen and done it all. Whether it’s waking up on top of a Swiss mountain, blending their own bottle of wine in Bordeaux or exploring underneath the ancient Roman ruins, you can’t go wrong.
