Rail Holidays Top Tips From Our Travel Experts

Cabins on touring trains are usually much more compact than your standard hotel room so make sure to really think about what you take onboard. Most trains will have a luggage carriage for all your extra luggage.

Rocky Mountaineer Canada is about as refined a tour experience that you can take anywhere in the world. Simply put it has been honed to perfection over many years. However if budget allows, go for GoldLeaf. It is 100% worth the upgrade and such a special experience.

To take full advantage of the scenery on the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, travel in the summer to make the most of the lighter evenings. In the winter months travel in the direction from Paris to Venice, so you’ll pass through the Swiss Alps in daylight hours.
