Complimentary Luggage Service
You told us luggage can be tricky sometimes when travelling by train, so we've introduced our new complimentary luggage service, included as standard on our escorted rail holidays in Europe.

On holidays that depart from London St Pancras, you'll get a door to door luggage service completely free for one 25kg bag (one bag per hotel room). Your suitcase will be collected directly from your home 7-10 working days before you depart on your holiday, and will be ready and waiting for you when you check in at the first, main hotel of your trip. If you have an outbound or inbound overnight stay en route to your holiday destination, you will still need to take a small overnight bag with you on the Eurostar.
If your tour moves from hotel to hotel, all your suitcases will
be transferred for you, meaning you will never have to touch your
luggage whilst on the move.
Once you've returned to the UK by train, you can expect your
suitcase to be delivered to you 7-10 working days after your
holiday has ended. If you prefer to take your luggage home with you
on the train, just let us know.
To arrange for a second suitcase to travel door to door, just let us know when you book. Prices start from £95 per bag, call for more details.
There are a small number of tours where exceptions apply and we have detailed these on each itinerary page. This includes holidays that include flights, when you will need to check in and collect your luggage at the airport. Depending which airline you're travelling with, your weight allowance may be slightly less than 25kg. Our Tour Advisors will confirm these details with you on booking.
On selected holidays throughout the UK & Ireland suitcases will be collected from your first hotel and only transferred on tour between hotels. A few exceptions apply where you may have to keep your luggage for ferry journeys.
