Special interest group holidays are as varied and special as the people who take them. At Great Rail Journeys our holidays are selected for people who appreciate a high standard of comfort. The flagship tour for our carnival holidays is Venice's Carnevale, which offers exuberance and colour with spine tingling luxury. Providing a comprehensive list of all the possible combinations of special interest tours would be a herculean task which is why we are proud to announce Rail Select our sister site which offers tailor made holidays by train.
