5 Easy Ways to Tailor Make Your Rail Holiday

By Railbookers Sunday, September 24, 2017 Read time: 2 minutes

Taking a rail holiday is so much more than simply getting to your destination. With the train, it’s as much about the journey – that one of a kind experience of riding the rails that’s unlike any other. Make the journey, and the destination, one to remember by tailoring it exactly the way you want to experience it. Here are some ideas to help personalise your train holiday to ensure it’s exactly the experience you want!

1. UPGRADE TO FIRST CLASS

If your journey on the train has you travelling over a number of hours, consider upgrading to a first class accommodation. Enjoy a larger seat, more legroom and even a meal and drinks on certain routes. Some routes also offer the opportunity to upgrade to deluxe compartments with private en-suite facilities. Ensure you arrive at your destination relaxed and well-rested!

2. START AT YOUR LOCAL STATION

While most of Railbookers rail holidays start at London St. Pancras station where the Eurostar departs, train tickets can be booked from any UK rail station to coincide with the timings of your onward or return journey.

3. ADD EXTRA STOPS

Add hotel nights to give you extra time to explore your destination, or add additional stopovers to help you discover new ones! Consider taking the reverse option on any Railbookers package - visiting cities in the opposite order or starting/finishing in a different location. The options are only limited by your imagination!

4. TRAVEL WHEN YOU WANT

There are no set departure dates with a Railbookers holiday, with the exception of private train journeys such as the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express. Most trains in Europe run every day, giving you the flexibility to start and end your journey when it's most convenient for you.

5. FLY HOME

If you prefer to fly home at the end of your rail journey, Ralbookers can arrange flights from airports all across the world back to the UK. You can also fly out to one destination and continue your holiday by rail from there - whatever works best for you! For more information on enhancing your rail holiday with Railbookers, click HERE.
