Rail and river experiences

Rail holidays are based on scenic routes such as the Glacier Express, the GoldenPass Line, the Mont Blanc Express, the Montreux–Rochers-de-Naye cogwheel railway, the Mount Rigi cogwheel railway, the Núria Valley Railway, the Pinzgauer, the Red Train and the Yellow Train of the Pyrenees, the Vaser Valley steam train and the Vulkan Express. River cruises sail on the Danube, the Rhine, the Dutch waterways, the Douro, the Moselle, the Main and the Thames, with ships such as MS Botticelli, MS Cyrano De Bergerac, MS Seine Princess, MS Serenade, MS Van Gogh and MS Viva Enjoy.

Pace levels and departure logistics

For rail holidays, the company classifies each programme according to the physical effort required. The easy level corresponds to journeys by Eurostar only or with a single change and requires walking for 10 to 20 minutes while carrying luggage. Moderate involves at least two train changes and walks of 30 to 40 minutes, with stairs and platform changes. Active means three or more changes and walking of at least 40 minutes, including stairs and transfers between stations. Departure can be by coach, air, Eurostar or a combination of Eurostar with return by air, and the site lists a wide network of joining points across UK locations.

Practical information for travellers

The website includes sections on how coach holidays work, joining points, drivers, coach fleet and travel insurance, as well as FAQs, deposit conditions, the EU Entry Exit System and fitness to travel guidance. It also offers gift vouchers, brochure requests and a corporate blog.
