Escorted Rail & Cruise Holidays
Our Rail & Cruise Holidays combine two of the most relaxing ways to travel, with scenic rail journeys and leisurely river cruising in one expertly organised, escorted experience.
Carefully designed by our experienced team of rail specialists, these Rail & Cruise Holidays offer a seamless transition from train to ship, allowing you to enjoy the journey as much as the destination.
With over 40 years of experience delivering quality escorted holidays, we understand the importance of comfort, clarity and attentive service at every stage of your travels.
Seamless Travel from Rail to River
Each of our escorted Rail & Cruise Holidays begins with rail travel from your chosen UK station (where applicable), with seat reservations arranged and flexible tickets included.
On arrival at your cruise embarkation point, you will join your fellow travellers and settle into refined river cruising, where ever-changing landscapes unfold gently beyond your cabin window.
By combining rail and river travel, our Rail & Cruise Holidays remove the complexity often associated with multi-centre journeys. Everything is thoughtfully planned, leaving you free to relax and travel with confidence.

Our Rail & Cruise Holidays are carefully paced, blending guided excursions, cultural highlights and time at leisure on board.
From historic riverside towns to striking natural scenery, these escorted tours offer variety without stress and are always supported by our knowledgeable Tour Managers and friendly UK-based Customer Care Team.
Whether you are new to river cruising or seeking a different way to experience it, our escorted approach ensures a reassuring and well-organised holiday from start to finish.
