Why Expressions Holidays?

We have personal experience of rail travel in almost every European country, except perhaps in the Baltic States and in Greece.
Why rail travel?
Rail travel today is a comfortable and leisurely form of slow travel, as well as being a more eco-friendly and sustainable option. Conveying the traveller from city centre to city centre, the charm of this mode of transport is in the experience you gain from the journey: its scenery, the change in topography, the variety of different languages and cultures you witness, and the opportunity to engage with different people along the way.
What are the different types of rail holidays Expressions offers?
Expressions Holidays offers a variety of rail holidays: touring holidays by train, journeys on scenic and iconic trains such as the Glacier Express, single centre holidays by train and journeys on luxury overnight nights such as the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express and the Al Andalus. The touring holidays by train offer great flexibility: take the train one way and fly the other, take the train both ways, take a train and then hire a car for exploring locally. There are many variations of our tailor-made rail holidays.
