How can I customise my own rail itinerary?

The journey matters as much as the destination when you travel onboard an iconic or luxury train. Whether it be the Bernina or Glacier Express in Switzerland, the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express from London to Venice, the Rocky Mountaineer from Vancouver to Banff in Canada, or the Jacobite Train in Scotland, you’re in for quite the ride.

Each destination offers a little something unique, from local cuisine to breath-taking landscapes to crowd-pleasing attractions. Choose your preferred length of stay in any destination we offer.

Are you interested in beginning and ending your journey in the same city? It’s the best way to maximise your sightseeing time. We also offer all our packages in reverse. West to east or east to west? Clockwise or counter clockwise? It’s up to you! You can choose to reverse the order of all train routes, station stops, and destinations of an itinerary.

Let’s say you’re interested in booking one of our most popular packages, such as the Classic Glacier and Bernina Express in Switzerland. Did you know that you can combine that trip with another to increase the sights you’ll see, the onboard experiences, and the memories you’ll make? Browse through any of our suggested itineraries or create your very own from scratch!

We want to make sure you get exactly what you want, whether it’s a boutique hotel, a special kind of restaurant, an exciting museum tour, or a once-in-a-lifetime, off-the-beaten-path experience. Quite simply, we’ll help you carefully design an authentic train holiday that works with your budget to maximise your free time and take you off the traditional tourist track.

With cruise extensions, travellers have the opportunity to extend their train holiday with a river cruise before or after their rail adventure. We offer an appealing selection of pre- and post-river cruises throughout Europe. Choose from exploring the magical fjords of Norway, the famed lakes of Switzerland, and the bustling city centres of Paris, Amsterdam, Munich, Berlin, and Budapest.

Seamlessly add on a getaway or additional activities to your trip to enhance your train holiday and add something special to your travel experience! Book a day trip to one of Switzerland’s mountain peaks or add an unforgettable visit to a glacier during your journey to the Canadian Rockies. Both getaways and excursions can be added on at the beginning, middle, and end of your train holiday.
