The Imagine Difference
We’ve expertly paired remarkable rail journeys with superb cruises, immersive tours, exclusive events, and fabulous hotel stays to curate unique rail holidays that you’ll remember forever.
Rail and Stay
The world offers a never-ending supply of incredible experiences just waiting to be discovered, but many of us don’t have the time to explore the world as we might wish.
Our rail and stay holidays offer so much more than just a train journey and a hotel stay. They give you time to explore new destinations, embark on new adventures and make memories that will last a lifetime.
Rail and Tours
Bursting with bucket-list wildlife moments, cultural encounters and world-famous sights, our escorted tours offer some amazing travel experiences.
Although our tours will take you to some of the most magnificent sights on earth, you may find it’s in fact the unexpected moments that take your breath away: colourful views of the setting sun or the feeling as the spray hits your face from one of the world’s most epic waterfalls.
Rail and Cruise
Many of our cruise holidays encompass rail travel on some of the most iconic locomotives in the world. Pass by spectacular scenery while encased in opulent surroundings, discovering the pinnacle of luxury rail travel.
Just like cruising, with rail travel the joy is in the journey, an opportunity to discover rather than simply visit. Combined, they offer an irresistible draw.
Discover our spectacular collection of trains, each boasting their own uniqueness, elegance and style of adventure, resulting in an experience that will linger long in the memory.
