Winter Holidays by Rail and Cruise

Embark on a winter getaway, and step into a world of snow-globe seasonal beauty, discovering a new side to a place you thought you knew. Visit chocolate-box towns set against wintry mountain backdrops, explore culture-rich cities without the crowds, or cruise into the Arctic Circle, where the Northern Lights dance overhead. Wherever you go, there's no denying the magic of this time of year.

Travel in comfort through winter wonderlands, seeing the scenery in a new light and reaching places that wouldn't be possible on any other form of transport. There's nothing quite like enjoying the cosy warmth of a train carriage as you speed past frozen scenery outside - the train's windows serving as the perfect picture frame. You could also soak up the season from Europe's waterways, drifting along with Christmas markets and festive towns lining the shores. Once you're in the heart of your destination, sample delicious local flavours, experience spectacular seasonal excursions, and enjoy time to explore off-the-beaten-path - the recipe for the dream winter holiday.

Whether you're winding through snow-dusted landscapes on a classic train or cruising through the frigid waters of Scandinavia, let us show you winter like never before. Browse our winter collection to discover snowy landscapes, cosy getaways and seasonal cruise experiences.
