Carnivals and Festivals Tours

Everyone loves a celebration, and Great Rail Journeys invite you to join us at a selection of the most spectacular, enjoyable and unmissable carnivals and festivals around the globe. Whichever time of the year you prefer to travel you're almost certain to find a Great Rail Journeys holiday that coincides with a local carnival or festival somewhere in the world.

Among Great Rail Journeys' holiday itineraries there are unmissable carnivals and festivals to please everyone. Music fans can get into the groove at the annual Montreux Jazz Festival in July whilst enjoying stunning Alpine scenery on our Lake Geneva & The Mont Blanc Express. Those with a taste for classical music will find the Bregenz Festival, Austria, which takes place each August, an unforgettable highlight of our Lindau and Lake Constance rail tour.

Few carnivals are as colourful and high-spirited as New Orleans' legendary Mardi Gras which lasts for a full fortnight each February. Great Rail Journeys' Tracks of the Deep South rail tour takes you to the heart of the fun on selected departures.

From the world's largest chocolate festival - 'EuroChocolate' held each October in Perugia, Italy - to the flamboyant and historic Carnival of Venice (February), with such an impressive selection of rail holidays to choose from Great Rail Journeys will transport you in comfort and style to places that you've always dreamed of visiting whilst also ensuring that you don't miss some of the world's most unmissable carnivals and festivals.

“Excellent Tour. Ticked all the boxes for me. Iguazu Waterfalls were amazing. Patagonia Glacier Patagonia Express, just being able to get to it then travel on this old railway was amazing. Ushuaia, city at the end of the world, old Penal colony railway, brilliant.
