Christmas

Powdery snow that crunches underfoot, flickering candles at Midnight Mass and the merry jingle of bells as your horse-drawn sleigh slides through the forest combine with festive meals and traditional celebrations on our wonderful Christmas rail tours. We believe that somehow, the true spirit of Christmas is easier to find when you are celebrating in the perfect setting. Whether we are gathering to turn on the Christmas tree lights in a quaint medieval village, or speeding across snow-covered plains on cheery, festively decorated trains, we can guarantee a Christmas to remember on one of our enticing Christmas rail tours.

Winter is a wonderful time of year. You've got Christmas, you've got pristine winter scenery, you've heartwarming seasonal cuisine and after it's all done, you've got the cheerful colours and fresh feeling of spring to look forward to!
