Escape the stresses of the festive period back home
and treat yourself to one of our outstanding Christmas
holidays by train. With a vast range of incredible
places to visit, Great Rail Journeys really do provide something to
suit everyone, offering our travellers a unique and memorable
experience. Due to their immense popularity and notable
standard, early booking will ensure you obtain your
ideal Christmas holidays by train. Your
friendly Tour Manager will meet you in London and be available to
deal with any questions or queries you might have throughout the
duration of your trip. They have sound knowledge of the
destinations you will travel to and are able to suggest interesting

different destinations in one trip, with the peace of mind that all
travel arrangements and accommodation has been organised for

Great Rail Journeys has a diverse range of
Christmas holidays by train available, many that
journey to Europe and some that take you further afield. It
is a stress-free way to travel, giving you time to read a good book
or chat to fellow passengers as you watch stunning scenery pass by
from the comfort of your own seat. We include First Class
travel on many of our tours, meaning no early mornings or rush hour
periods, allowing you to arrive at your destination feeling relaxed
and ready to explore.
Rail journeys through Europe allow you to view picturesque snowy landscapes with illuminated towns and villages from the comfort of your cosy rail carriage. Along frozen plains, past deep blue lakes and between dramatic mountainous backdrops, our Christmas holidays by train really get you into a festive frame of mind. Travel through Switzerland on the Glacier Express along narrow valleys, past snow-capped mountains and into dense winter woodland. Stay in an authentic castle in Austria, seasonally decorated with towering Christmas trees, twinkling lights and set in surroundings that look like something seen in a fairytale. Embark on a voyage of discovery to Venice and take advantage of a guided walk around its romantic cobbled streets and remarkable architecture. If warmer climes are what you're after, get a dose of winter sunshine on the glamorous Côte d'Azur on the French Riviera or perhaps set your sights on somewhere further away, Canada for instance. Travel by rail through a diverse range of landscapes, from the rugged Rocky Mountains to the plains of the Canadian Shield, and do not miss the chance to see the colossal frozen icicles of Niagara Falls. Alternatively, stay in the UK for your Christmas train holiday and take some time away in Yorkshire or perhaps Scotland, whilst still maintaining a traditionally British Christmas.
