Train Holidays
There’s something timeless about travelling by train. The steady rhythm of the tracks and the ever-changing scenery right outside your window. Rail holidays invite you to slow down, soak it all in, and enjoy the journey as much as the destination. From winding mountain routes to cross-country adventures, holidays by train offer a relaxed and unique way to see the world.
Classic Routes & Scenic Journeys
Some train holidays are all about the views, others are about the destinations – and some deliver both in spades. From luxury sleepers to day trips through regional towns, there’s a rail journey to suit every kind of traveller. Train holidays Europe-wide continue to be a favourite, with routes through France, Switzerland, Italy, Spain and beyond offering a perfect mix of culture, comfort and convenience.
All Inclusive Train Holidays
All inclusive train holidays are a great way to explore. Meals, accommodation, sightseeing and transport are bundled into one seamless itinerary – ideal for stress-free travel. You’ll find options that include guided walking tours, fine dining on board, local experiences, and even luggage transfers, so you can travel light and focus on enjoying every moment.
Rail Cruise Holidays
If you love the idea of slow travel with a touch of luxury, rail cruise holidays offer the perfect blend. These unique itineraries combine the scenic charm of train travel with the indulgence and ease of cruising — letting you experience the best of both, in one seamless holiday.
Start your journey on land with a picturesque rail experience through mountains, countryside or coast, then continue your adventure on water aboard a premium cruise. Or flip the order – cruise first, then board a train to wind your way through iconic landscapes. Either way, you’ll enjoy two unforgettable travel styles, perfectly paired.
Rail Travel Closer to Home
You don’t have to head overseas to enjoy world-class rail holidays. Right here in Australia, some of the most scenic and rewarding journeys are waiting to be discovered.
Travel through the heart of the Outback on The Ghan, cross the country aboard the Indian Pacific or explore the tropical north aboard the Spirit of Queensland. These iconic holidays by train give you a fresh perspective on the places you thought you knew.
Why Choose a Train Holiday?
There’s something incredibly calming about rail travel. With fewer connections, no stressful check-ins and a more relaxed pace, train holidays offer a chance to really enjoy the experience. You’ll meet like minded travellers, visit spots you’d never see by air, and rediscover how rewarding the journey itself can be.
