Train Experiences

Some vacations feature a train experience on one of the world's famed railways. Trains can travel where cars cannot, offering panoramic views of spectacluar landscapes that would otherwise be inaccessible.

The train portion might be a multi-day journey or an excursion that lasts just a few hours. In Switzerland, for example, spend an afternoon winding through the Alps on the Bernina Express, an engineering marvel and UNESCO World Heritage site. Or, see the United States' Grand Canyon on a daytime trip aboard its famous train.

On select itineraries, you'll stay aboard the train overnight. On others, such as those offered by Rocky Mountaineer, you'll travel between cities on the train and spend each night in a superb hotel.
