If you are planning that trip of a lifetime, then why not travel by train and experience some of the world’s
greatest rail journeys and travel on board luxury trains or legendary trains?

Travel by train can be a fascinating way to visit several countries and experience many cultures. On your rail
vacation you can see dramatic scenery unfold from the luxury of your cabin or seat (and you can save on
hotel accommodation too!).

Many rail vacation tours include a range of wonderful
day excursions and city tours lead by experienced
local guides.

Some rail tour packages even allow time for you to
further explore the destinations at your own pace
and include overnight luxury hotel accommodation
(which can be a break from your train
accommodation). The important thing is to select a
train tour package that meets your individual needs
and comfort requirements.

Tips for selecting a rail tour
package

You could start by searching on google for travel
sites specializing in: rail tour packages, europe rail
tour vacations, rail tour canada etc. Define your
search as clearly as possible, because if you just
type in 'vacation travel packages' you'll get results
like 'top luxury hotels', when you're really looking for
information on rail tour vacations in a particular
destination.

Decide also whether you want to travel in a tour
group with an escorted train tour or plan your own
self-guided tour. Remember too; any type of
vacation travel can be exhausting, so choose a
vacation destination, tour, or time frame to meet with
your own personal needs. For example, many
escorted coach tours start with breakfast at 6am
every day.

If you are in good health and ready for a vacation
then train travel is a wonderful way to see the sites.
You can experience some of the world’s greatest rail
journeys and travel on board legendary trains, such
as ‘The Ghan’ train in Australia, the ‘Glacier Express’
in Switzerland, or the ‘Palace on Wheels’ in India.
